    Fat

    If he doesn't shed 15 pounds, I don't think he'll play more than 40 games a season

    Tough to do in the best food town in the country, if not the world.

    When I made my post I had given up on the game and missed his magical 4 minutes

    But he is fat and he won't stay healthy at that weight

    That's the only part I caught - totally forgot about it and tuned in with about 10 minutes left in the game.

    I think his weight is an issue - but there's been fat guys forever in the NBA. I do believe there is a cumulative effect on the body for essentially playing year-round in AAU/travel/school ball since a young age - and that's what's causes injury. The body never has time to really just chill and regenerate. Even more pronounced on the women's side.

    playing at 287 at 6'6" in the NBA is insane.

    He is the 3rd heaviest NBA player, only Boban Marjanovic (7'4" 290lbs) and Tacko Fall (7'5" 311lbs) weigh more.

    Not fat guys who’s game solely relies on fast twitch and bounce, though. Big difference on the knees between a plodding center and a slashing wing like zion

    Barkley played for 15 years. Barkley didn't play year 'round growing up in the 70's, I can guarantee you that.

    Barkley doesn't have bounce today. Don't twist.
