<div class="quote_poster">Quoting notMuchgame:</div><div class="quote_post">Doc Rivers has gone on record and said that T-mac needs to improve his work ethic (he said this when he was still coaching the Magic)...so I can't speak for Pistons2004, but that's where I got the perception from</div> And your going to believe him? Doc rivers is a joke.
That's such a hypothetical question. How can we figure? These are professional NBA players, and expect all of them to be in "tip-top" shape.
-I don't expect Lebron to get any bigger than he is, 240 lbs. of ripped muscles is enough. -Carmelo has already gained 10 lbs. of muscle. He is one of the quickest forwards in the league at this point. -TMac has a poor work ethic, and with that being said, he will not gain that much muscle mass. -Kobe is the player I expect to get bigger. 2 years ago he came from the offseason with a bally-like body and that is what I will expect from him. <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post"> And your going to believe him?

Kobe is gonna come into this season like he was 2 seasons a go a mothaf*ckin diesel watch out league everybody gonna get the kobe effect real soon
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Kobe 8 Ball:</div><div class="quote_post">Lebron is a 3..same with Carmelo...I think it will be Kobe, he will come into the season looking for an MVP award and I think he will get it now that Shaq is gone..we can just only hope that he is found innocent.</div> Lebron's not a 3, he's a natural 2. A 3 carries the burden of grabbing more boards defensively and defending bigger guys, Lebron wont play 3, and yes, Lebron will have the best 2 body, he would have last year had he not played 1
LeBron is NOT a natural 2, he shouldnt play 2 at all! Why? 2=Shooting Guard. He shot 29% from 3 point range. Is that acceptable as a SG? NO, it shouldnt be. With his height and body, he could easily play SF or even PG if they already had a good SF, but not SG

With his height and body, he could easily play SF or even PG if they already had a good SF, but not SG</div> It doesnt mean LeBron has to shoot 3's to be a great shooting guard. LeBron is very versatile capable of playing the 1,2, or 3. Just because he needs to work on his 3's doesnt mean he sucks. He will also get better on his 3's trust me. He can shoot mid rangers too ya know. A shooting guard doesnt just shoot 3's ya know.

Jordan shot 17 percent in his rookie year, and did he play shooting guard? he turned out just fine.
I don't know if Kobe will likely get bigger... how can you expect him not to be stressed/depressed, or any symptom of the court and trials. HE IS NOT INHUMAN PEOPLE, Kobe is a real life person. Anyone who gets trialed for anything as serious as rape, even if you have a lot on your side, your still nervous and stressed as *****. He could face Life in Jail. Do you guys understand the magnitude of that? Of course he's stressed, so don't go thinking he's not bothered by the court dates cause he played well or whatever, just cause he played good after coming from court doesn't mean he's not worrying or stressed about it.
