http://celtics.bostonherald.com/celtics/vi...rticleid=157963 Wow, the big guy is really determined, and I love it! Apparently he came in as 288 and now he's at 258! That's awesome! Danny, in the article, said he doesn't believe it's 30 lbs. and he says it seems more like 15. But Al disagreed and said it was 30. He's really working his ass off this summer, and Kevin Eastman (who was involved with workouts with Al in his HS days) said he's a completely different player. Big Al is going to have a good year this year, I can feel it. With his great work ethic this summer, his ankle getting fixed, and his determination - Big Al will have a good year. Watch out!

It says he lost 30 lbs., not GAINED 30 lbs. And either way, Big Al and Curry are 2 totally different players and people. Curry is a guy that doesn't rebound and doesn't play to his advantages. If Curry used all of his talent and size he would be the 2nd best center in the NBA. Big Al, on the other hand, has really proved all the doubters wrong when they said he didn't work hard, and he isn't soft like Curry.
