CCL Tonight

[WIB]

Niang looks a lot different... Don't know who this guy is saying it doesn't matter.

 

[Knownothing]

I heard he lost 88 punds and is quiting basketball to focus on track. Specifically the high jump and 100 meters.

 

[CloneinWDSM]

It wasn't 20.

And I agree it's a good thing, but people are very much overstating the whole thing.

Register just had an article saying it was 20 lbs. 240 to 220 soooooooo

 

[Cydkar]

Oh for god's sake. He lost 12 pounds. Not 50. He wasn't that slow last year. Georges' weight is one of the bigger dumb topics of conversation on this board.

So says you. I think it's significant.

Ridiculously wrong in every aspect. Why don't you put on a 12-pound jacket and see how it affects your ability to walk, run, jump, agility, speed, and endurance? Sheesh.

 

[Cyrok]

How did Bubu look?

 

[sadam]

Arms

The only muscle group that's important.

It's going to make him so much more effective stamina and just quickness wise.

Look at what Kevin Love did when he dropped all that weight.

I agree that 15 lbs can make a big difference in quickness and stamina. His game is so refined that even a slight increase in athletic ability will make him that much harder to handle.

Precisely. Check out article re: the CCL game:

I lost five pounds taking a **** today

 

[Jsievers24]

Georges said it's because he is eating different. I'm guessing he is lifting weights and getting stronger all while losing 20 pounds.... That is a big deal people. See how far your vertical goes down with a 20 pound backpack on.....

Take 3 more and report back to the group.

 

[Go2Guy]

""I'm working to get my body fit," he said. "It's more like a lifestyle change, than a quick fix. I'm working on eating healthy. Guys tell me your body is a temple, so you might as well treat it as one. "You can't put diesel fuel in a regular car — and you have to put good stuff in your body. When you do, good things will come out of it.""

I'm impressed he accomplished this while healing his foot- usually, after injuries like that all you hear about is guys gaining weight.

if georges gets some hops...watch out

I bet his hops went from a credit card to a deck of cards. That is a huge percentage.

 

[MaccloNe]

Yeah, a 6'7" guy that can barely dunk. I am sure that had nothing to do with his size.

 

[cyrocksmypants]

I think saying "can barely dunk" is being pretty generous to Georges.....

 

[Hayes30]

Someone post his HS highlight videos. Georges had some nice springs coming out of HS. With the weight loss I expect he can jump more like he used to now.
