His peak fatness is probably from here




to here:







He was big but a lot of them had those young rounder shapes. Even Karl Malone wasn’t ripped just…huge




84 Olympic tryouts right before he was in Philly when Moses was calling him fat.

there have been fat players. Stanley Roberts at times. Oliver Miller. Hot plate Williams ate his way out of the league. It happens






It’s just odd to me that the most famous fat basketball player spent most of his career with the kind of physical appearance most Americans would envy.


But 80s fat isn’t our current fat. Remember the first few seasons of the Simpsons Homer was considered a huge fat ass because he was 230 something pounds. He had to get up to 300 in the episode where he was intentionally getting himself fat for disability. These days you see eight 300 pound people in the supermarket every time you go.
