all nba bad basketball bodies

Wed Apr 13, 2005 10:00 am

devoted to the league's players that can hoop it up but their bodies don't necessarily match their game

Ilguaskas

Image
look at that- absolutely no definition on those arms and deltoids, even when those muscles are flexed

paul pierce
Image
when i pierce was at kansas, i always wondered why he would sport the t-shirt under the jersey. now i know why. pierce probably has the weirdest nba body in the league. he's sorta like ruth riley formerly of notre dame- bottom heavy. to his credit, he does look more cut this season

anotine walker
Image
that little extra weight walker carries i thought was baby fat. but he still looks the same since his rookie year. he has a thick body but his muscles don't look it

reggie miller
Image
much respect to one of the league's all time best clutch shooter, but this dude is skinny. nba.com lists him at 195lbs- yeh maybe with10 wet sweaters on. miller time gets special recognition for being on the nba's all ugly team as well.

marcus camby
Image
it's not a surprise camby is known as mr glass. camby's reckless/energetic style of play makes him especially vulnerable with that thin frame

honorable mention:
shawn bradley
allen iverson
robert traylor
andrei kirilenko
tony delk

Oliver Miller ( can't top this one...)

Popeye Jones( fat )

Danny Fortson ( ditto )

actually, fortson is pretty damn nice. i'm thinking Ndudi Ebi isn't built for the nba, he needs to be much stronger

Wed Apr 13, 2005 11:19 am

B-Diddy, Pierce, Melo are kinda stocky.:P

Wed Apr 13, 2005 12:28 pm

I think it's more that Pierce doesn't have the muscle definition.

Wed Apr 13, 2005 1:25 pm

I'd like to add Mike Sweetney to that list:

Mike Sweetney is just huge, he's gotten bigger this year too..

Wed Apr 13, 2005 3:15 pm

Tayshaun Prince, he's skinny as too.. and his shoulders look wierd...

Wed Apr 13, 2005 3:26 pm

alan houston----> he's physic is really wierd

just like Darius Miles. :P

Wed Apr 13, 2005 9:15 pm

Hakeem and KG in their younger days (around 7'0 and weighing maybe 210 pounds soaking wet)

Wed Apr 13, 2005 9:29 pm

and Ralph Sampson?
the twin tower pair up with Hakeem.. that guy..
he's skinny..

Wed Apr 13, 2005 9:36 pm

indeed Prince, he's thin as, but dude is stronger than most think....just like Shawn Bradley

Wed Apr 13, 2005 11:03 pm

Oliver Miller and Tractor Traylor. There's no question about it. If these two played at the same time, the court would give. They'd put more pressure on the court then Yokozuna on a lawn chair.

Thu Apr 14, 2005 3:01 am

Mikee Moore. It looks like his arms will snap off.

Thu Apr 14, 2005 4:18 am

Artest looks (acts...) like he was born too early.
Yao, i can't beleive no one mentioned him.
Ha Seung-Jin.

I just figured it was bad bodies.

Paul Pierce runs like a duck and has a strange body.

Thu Apr 14, 2005 4:43 am

Rip Hamilton (this guy just looks like he is 120 lbs).

Quentin Richardson (he's too fat and looks like he doesn't know the word "workout").

Erick Dampier (man, he's got some really strong arms, but his legs are even thinner than Rip's).

Jameer Nelson (his legs are fat and ugly :lame:... and look at his neck...).

Thu Apr 14, 2005 6:32 am

i wanna be the first person to sign up for the All NLSC sick of the All NBA whatever threads

Thu Apr 14, 2005 6:44 am

q. rich isn't fat he just doesn't have muscle definition compared to a lot of other guys.. same w/ p-squared.

Thu Apr 14, 2005 7:22 am

Greg Ostertag...

Thu Apr 14, 2005 8:56 am

good calls on tayshaun prince and sweetney

prince is just so freakishly lanky and sweetney is one wide dude.

i'd like to add bosh and JO for their 'brad johnson-like' necks :lol:

hard to include KG or Hakeem their rookie years since most players don't come into the league with a nba ready body, especially a high schooler lol

please only current players :)

Thu Apr 14, 2005 10:07 am

Manute Bol :shock: He has the most messed up legs I've ever seen.

Thu Apr 14, 2005 12:24 pm

i have to admit though sweetney is pretty damn quick and atheltic for a man his size.

Thu Apr 14, 2005 12:28 pm

I agree.. same with Robert Traylor.

Thu Apr 14, 2005 12:30 pm

but the fastest of them all fatty players is prolly Antione Walker.IMHO
