[quote]Apparently Kobe is feeling good today: he just reeled off consecutive nasty dunks, the 2nd through traffic. [/quote]

[quote]Kobe, with a grin, said his fierce dunk over/around Jamison was payback for Jamison taking a charge he didn't appreciate earlier. [/quote]

[quote]Mike Trudell ‏@LakersReporter
For what it's worth, Kobe said his body feels better than it has since 2006[/quote]


Artest is 17 pounds lighter from last season and says he hasn't felt this good since his Pacer days.


:eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:

Like this for example. If I posted this same exact thing 10 trolls would be saying "Clippers forum" blah blah blah included this retarded OP.

Man if Dwight gets to 100%... That's scary

You make dumb threads like players saying their coach is good. :oldlol:

Man, Lakers are going to be so good. If they get their chemistry right, they're probably better than the Heat. I hope we meet in the finals, would be an epic matchup. :cheers:

Totally news worthy. F@gg0ts

CP3 was cleared 100 percent healthy and back to full contact, normal practices last night and I didn't make a thread and supposedly I'm the worst :lol . I've seen about 6 "Artest in best shape of his life" threads this week. At least my annoying threads are new topics :confusedshrug:. Caron Butler lost 25 pounds, DJ lost 15.... I should get on dat thread making.

its not about how good theyre feeling today. its about how bad theyre gonna feel tommorow on their 35 year old bodies

The thread is more directed to Kobe feeling good since I know how many Artest threads there are.

And by the way you've talked about Chris Paul being in great shape for months now. :oldlol:

You're a hypocrite, deal with it kiddo :sleeping

Is it me or does every old player every offseason say "This is the best I've felt since (insert year about five years ago)". And every single time their stats diminish even further than the previous season. :oldlol:

:roll: !!!!!

BTW OP, if you haven't noticed the trend around the league, [B]every[/B] player is exclaming "This is the best my body's ever felt!"

Let's see come January how tip-top shape some of these player's bodies really are.

Except Artest's transformation translated to improved numbers...

What's that supposed to mean? Are you getting some kind of sexual gratification from me posting in your thread? :biggums:

Nah I just find it funny that you're posting so much in a thread that doesn't even concern you (obviously).

But not every player who says that has evidence to back that claim. Ron Ron lost a significant amount of weight and it shows in his fluidity on the court.

[QUOTE=AirTupac]Great thread dumbass[/QUOTE]

That was what 1 year ago? Give it a rest bro :roll:

Yeah that makes it right.. :sleeping

Everybody supposedly loses weight before the season. As I said... Caron Butler lost a more impressive 25 pounds. Bottom line is Artest has declined rapidly and it didn't have to do with his conditioning too much. Becoming a terrible shooter isn't about conditioning although it can't help.

OMG....can't wait for this LAKER season!!!!!!!!!

Very true, I expect Artest to be one of those players who does produce more based on his improved health.

Just saying, many players say this, prompting one to think they will have a career-best season. And then, they fall short. (Not Kobe persay, but NBA players in general over the years).

Do you even remember how fat and awful Artest was last season? He came into training overweight because of the injuries that he was dealing with. He lost a lot of weight and his game has improved since the allstar break. He's put in even more work during the off season.

It had everything to do with his conditioning and injuries.

The difference is, the context. When Artest finally lost weight towards the end of the season last year, he was averaging 15 PPG for those 2-3 weeks. And, when he got back from suspension, his jumper had more lift, as evident in his +40% from beyond the arc in the playoffs.

Butler, who knows if losing the weight will amount to anything? We don't, so we just have to wait and see. With Artest, we saw what he did when in shape and fit. So, it's not as farfetched to make an assumed assessment.

You talk about Artest declining rapidly...and what, Butler hasn't since his injury in 2011? :confusedshrug:

Naw Butler absolutely has but remember last season coming off a knee surgery 20+ pounds overweight he still put up 15 ppg first two months of season before his lack of conditioning caught him and his numbers plummeted. I just remember the last two seasons going in Artest said best shape of his life too. He's one of those guys you gotta take what he says with a grain of salt.

Do you not see the difference in his movement? You look at the guys body and face in training videos and you can SEE the difference. :facepalm
