My bad homie. Didn't see you had this thread going. Here's a link to watch it! http://miami.cbslocal.com/game-live-broadcast/
Most of these guys look a lot skinnier in person. From far away I thought Kevin Durant was some freshman waterboy who was warming up. Chris Paul looked a lot younger and shorter than I had imagined too. I tried talking trash to Wade and I thought I was going to get jumped by some people. I definitely booed Melo too. The game was exciting but too long. I had to go outside and take a long phone call from someone, so that shortened my evening. The crowd was really energetic and easily impressed.
Even in college, basketball players have abnormally long legs (because they've been selected for leaping ability). TV cameras and fans in the stands view players from above, so they appear to have a normal ratio of height to width.
And don't forget the camera adds ten pounds ... then consider the fact they probably have 3 or 4 cameras on them and it really adds up.
