He worked SO HARD... genetics are a tough thing. There's some interesting stuff about his weight from early 2017:

Caleb's father, who stood 6-foot-8, weighed nearly 500 pounds when he died three years ago, at the age of 50, of complications related to diabetes.

...

By the summer before eighth grade, [Caleb] had entered a dangerous zone at 6-foot-2 and nearly 400 pounds.
 
I think it's safe to say Biggie is not really a gym rat...that young man is all appetite! I hope he turns it around but he's headed in the wrong direction
 
Jeez, feel bad for him. Clearly not doing well. I don't understand what happened.
 
Sad indeed. So young and to have a shot in the NBA, and now nothing. Going to be a long road ahead for him (or short road if he doesnt sort himself out)
 
Damn.

Once you put on a bunch of weight, it's really a bitch to keep it off. Pretty much forever.

The first trillion-dollar pharmaceutical company will be the one that solves this problem.
 
That is too game shape. Just not sure if the hoop is large enough. Round is a shape and roundball is a game.
But who is gonna dunk him?
 
I blame the pot for his serious munchies....he had over a pound in the car....I'd say he's driving from fast food joint to fast food joint trading joints for fast food...

His unhealthy eating habits had zero to do with pot.
 
Let's hope he at least had someone help him invest some of his money somewhere. Dude made $5,239,080 - even with crazy taxes, hopefully some of that will be there for him down the line.
 
It would be nice if somebody from the Blazers was reaching out to him. Can Mark Cuban take care of him as well as Delonte West?

He has a guy in his hometown who motivated him to get it together before...one guy I think basically raised him as a young teen.....I believe he has options but why should the Blazers intervene for someone busted with pot who's become obese? He's not doing what Delonte West did...he drives a car...has money. Maybe the players association could reach out to him but they'd have to have a better reason than obesity and pot. I assume he suffers depression but I really don't know this. He could also just be lazy.
 
because we all know pot doesn't make you hungry?...Pot burns up blood sugar and it's why stoners crave sugar.

Have you done the science? I never knew any who craved sugar or snacks. That's a stereotype to turn into comedy the incarceration of tens of millions of Americans.

You don't know a lot.
 
Damian Lillard: If you gone post this s— with real concern that’s cool. But don’t ask “how does one go from “this to that” … he clearly having real life issues. That’s how… you don’t know WHAT it is he’s going through to cause a drastic change . If you gone be supportive then do that but don’t ask no shit like that like it’s not possible when you naturally a big dude and go down a dark road.
Dame knows him, he has the ability to reach out and help the kid get on track. Going down the dark road makes you wonder what that entails but like I said, Biggie has plenty of people he can reach out to. I think it's fair to ask how somone could balloon from NBA shape to that size in such a short time....usually takes people years to put on those type of pounds. He last posted the white powder and baggie on his table and now this picture is the first we've seen since then.......Dame would be lying if he didn't find it shocking himself I'd say.

Dame was absolutely right in his response. That post was not "real concern", it was mocking, but they tried to come with the prayer hands like they cared.
