    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>I was 240 in the offseason because I gained a lot of weight, but my playing weight is about 225 to 230," said McGrady, who came in to camp at 235 last season. "I feel great out there. I feel light, I feel quicker. The only thing I'm trying to catch up to is my rhythym, my timing. Everything is off -- I almost forgot how to play ball."</div>Link: http://www.clutchfans.net/news/1366/traini...2006%5Fday%5F1/It does not state how much weight he lost, but he says in offseason he was at 240. That is WAY too much for him, in his best years in orlando he was at around 220. If he is not there already, he needs to get to around 225. That is more than likely a huge reason for his injuries last season, more weight on bad back=bad. If he loses some of that weight, and keeps strengthening core (which he says he did this offseason) he will be in fantastic shape. But him saying he was at 240 in offseason worries me a bit.

    Look at his arms dude, it has to be his muscles that make him weigh more.

    It is his muscles, but that weight still puts more stress on his back.

    Eh, ten extra pounds in the offseason isn't that big of a deal, he'll just fine when the season gets going. He's had plenty of back issues for years, he probably knows more about his health and what he can and can't do than any of us do.

    I'm sure an athlete like him can lose that little weight very quickly

    hasnt he already lost it? I thought I read this on another board, anyways he does need to lose weight, in Orlando he was so explosive due to his lightness and speed, hes buffend up too much.
