I'm trying to get into better shape this summer and it's going somewhat decently.

I'm just trying to think of some NBA players who went through summers where they gained a lot of muscle or lost a lot of fat.

I'm sure a lot of us remember Kobe in 2002 looking like a beast after coming back from the summer...http://www.thefreelibrary.com/LAKERS+NOTEBOOK%3a+BRYANT+FLEXING+MUSCLES.-a092660999

And recently, Lebron lost weight last summer (though this was kinda pointless).

And here's a link to some people who track this across the league: http://allball.blogs.nba.com/2015/07/14/musclewatch-2015-summer-edition/ ....apparently Giannis A., Jimmy Butler, and James Young have put on some solid muscle. And Eric Gordon and Julius Randle have lost some fat.


Anybody else remember any players making a big transformation over one summer?

Enes Kanter and Shabazz Muhammad are ones I can think of recently.

Give Marc Gasol credit, he used to be very husky.

no pun intended

That 2011 pic of Kaman looks like a prison mug shot.
