    Melo finds more power through less after dropping weight to please Nuggets

    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">In July, a member of the Utah Jazz coaching staff joked that he thought Nuggets rookie forwardCarmelo Anthony was about 20 pounds heavier than his listed weight of 235 during the Rocky Mountain Revue.

    Tuesday night in Salt Lake City, even Utah fans roared in amazement as Anthony leaped high for a one-handed dunk of an alley-oop pass. It's a move Anthony could not have performed during the summer.


    "My body feels good," said Anthony, who said he has lost about 20 pounds since July. "I still feel strong. I'm jumping better with this weight loss. It's a lot different. When you have all the weight and you're jumping a lot, you have knee problems. That was what was wrong with me."</div>

    They should have poked his belly. Maybe he would've gone "whoo hoo" like the Pilsbury Dough Boy.

    Seriously, this is a good thing for him. It seems for everyone but guards, weigh loss = good.

    Even for guards. Check out Baron Davis.

    lol, well, I forgot about him. He lost weight, but he's still the biggest point guard out there (I believe).

    I think you're right(discounting Lebron), but Jamaal Tinsley is probably close.
