Can Anyone Give Me an Explanation Other than Steroids For Dwyane Wade's Jaw?

[thejumpa]

Yeah dude is trippin. No way Wade is 235. I always figured he was around 220 and just checked....he's listed at 220. Sounds about right.

[knickswin]

Wade is also not that tall. He is closer to 6'2 than 6'4.

A rendition of what Wade could look like in a couple of years.

no. he measured 6'4 without shoes at the pre draft.

he was listed at 227lbs the year they won the championship, and he looks heavier now. he's not 220lbs as they list on the sites.

That's the 2004-2005 season. If I remember correctly Kobe was playing at around 230 lbs (his arms and shoulders were huge). As big as he was his jaw didn't suddenly explode to ginormous proportion.

kobe plays at about 205-210 now. he didn't look 20lbs heavier that season.

You're so adamant on trying to be right that you would refuse any source. The first link had a legit source inside but 6 years after the article is not available anymore.

Here's another forum, the guy mentions CNN as a source.

I guess they were all dreaming back in 2004-2005


Here's an article from 2002 saying he bulked up to 225 lbs: http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/bas..._preseason_ap/


And here's an article from October 2004: [COLOR="DarkSlateBlue"]Bryant certainly looks ready, having bulked up to 230 pounds and spearheaded weight-lifting sessions and pickup games with the new Laker family for the past few weeks. [/COLOR]

Here, another one: [COLOR="DarkSlateBlue"]The Lakers hired his personal strength coach, Joe Carbone, and Bryant has restored his body, showing up in camp at 230 pounds and in his best condition in two years. [/COLOR]

And for good measure, two articles from 2007 in which he said to weight 200 lbs and lost 35 lbs over the past 2 years:

Sure. Like somebody else said, his cheeks are bloated due to weight gain.

Only on InsideHoops can you get a duscussion on someones jaw and come to the conclusion he did steroids or HGH.

Mental.

True. Nevertheless, most guys on ISH are in denial mode. HGH is very common among professional athletes, and the NBA is no exception.
