    I’ve been telling people for years that there is zero chance this NBA players are at their listed weight … yall think Giannis is 240? KD is listed at 240 … Giannis is pushing 280.

    I’ve been saying this for years, but it’s awesome to hear him finally admit it. His final weight is listed at 325, which is an absolute fucking joke if you see what he looked like when he was on the Celtics. If he was 415 in LA, when he still also had a lot of muscle tone, he must have been upwards of 475 on the Celtics.

    An absolute freak of a human to be able to play professional basketball at that size, even if it wasn’t very good.

    That’s hard to believe at 415, but if you think about Zion for example being at 285, closer to 300 at times if not more… Shaq is a lot taller and arguably thicker at his size as well.

    What an absolute freak to move as well as he did at that weight. That’s once-in-a-generation genetics for that profile.

    I think Embiid is another one of those guys that’s drastically understating his weight. He’s listed at 280, I think it’s at least around 320.
