[QUOTE=K Xerxes]Literally just watched the first clip - I'm pretty sure he hasn't done that in the last four years. Miami LeBron would have needed a screen to get past his man, only to do some soft layup at the rim for no reason. Hopefully we see some authority reintroduced back into his game with a more explosive first step and finish at the rim.[/QUOTE]
Check out 5:27 :eek:

Hmm....
Not sure if this is a good move. Cleveland isnt exactly stacked on bigs.
Hopefully he can actually fulfill all the talk he does about himself defensively. He talked a big game last season, but didn't do much at all. Let's see if he has some new motivation.

How has no one in this thread asserted the possibility that this whole story could be cover for him ramping down from steroid and HGH use, due to Commissioner Silver announcing much more stringent testing this upcoming season ????????????
You f#@king idiots.

[QUOTE=Meticode]Apparently LeBron has cut carbs out of his diet trying to lose weight and lean out for this upcoming season. I suspect it's to gain back some atheleticism that he's lost in Miami with age. From the picture he's at LEAST lost 20 pounds.

Wow, that's a lot of weight visually that he's dropped. It becomes apparent at around 15 pounds or more. So he's lost quite a bit.
Good thing too, I've been saying he's needed to do this since 2010. The peak of his athleticism he was still fast while being large. Since then it has at times hindered his off the dribble game. Looks like he wants to be sleek next season. He needed to be big though in Miami to help crash boards. But with AV, and potentially Love? there is not a need to be so big. I think his weight limited him when Leonard was defending him in the Finals. Good for him.
Kobe dropped weight from 2007, heading into 2008 to be quicker.
MJ dropped weight from 1996, heading into 1997 to be quicker.
Both had career years. Hopefully the same holds true for Bron. We could see a return of his sleakness, and explosion this season that seemed to dwindle the past several seasons.
Huge shirt and angles. The guy is still huge. OP's a fakkiit
Smart move. It'll reduce wear on his joins a good amount. Although depending on how he's doing it though he could end up losing bone density. It's a give and take I guess.
It reminds me of those 50cent picks when he was losing weight to play a dying person in a movie.
Do y'all know what happens when a player stops using steroids ?
They get HURT.

I thought Jordan gained weight. First 3peat era, MJ was 198 lbs. Then in the 2nd 3peat era, he weight in 216 lbs.
He looks different :eek: (face)

MJ gained weight every year from 1990 - 1996. 1996 was his strongest, but the upper body weight limited him at advanced age heading into the Finals. And that's why he believed he had such a poor showing, from a shooting percentage.
He dropped weight to be quicker heading into the 1997 season, as well as to alieviate knee tendinitis that bothered him late in the '96 season ... he went from 217 in '96 to 209 in 1997.
They talk about it here post game, the fourth game of the year where he dropped 50 on the Heat in Miami:

The heaviest version of MJ was the Wizard years.
People forget this? [URL="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yi681tL0FJA"]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yi681tL0FJA[/URL]
Everyone said he added too much weight in 2011, too...
Btw, he played that finals game 1 beautifully, and game 2 as well until the last 6 minutes arrived :lol
But before that, some sweeeet highlights with D-Wade
