Sully has a heavy lower half. There is nothing he can do about it. Its what makes him unique for the bad and the good.
As long as he is back to where he was last yr before injury with added stamina, thats all you can ask for
I just don't know about this. Of course people are built differently, but I stand by the assertion that almost all 'big' people could stand to lose a bit of weight.
My very good friend, who is 5'7" and was 195 lbs used to be very muscular looking and could lift a lot of weight (used to play college football). Everybody thought he was huge - including him. About a year ago, he took to a healthier diet and long distance running (even doing a couple of marathons) with some lifting in between. He now weighs 155 lbs, is totally cut, and can still lift the same amount of weight.
I think that over the past couple of decades Americans have come to think that 'huge' is awesome. Those 1950s weight charts that everybody thinks are ridiculous probably aren't so far off. As a professional NBA athlete, where conditioning should be without a doubt the number one thing on which players work, I believe Jared has a ways to go. Frankly, more guys should look like Ray Allen and less like Oliver Miller.
I don't care about charts or what other people's friends experience, no one is the same. From every account, by the people who actually see Sully in REAL life, he works extremely hard. So if the guy never looks like how you think he should doesn't mean he isn't working as hard or harder than guys who look like Lebron! So if none of our eye tests can tell us how much he weighs then we have NO idea. Like I said, he looks smaller than he did last season, to me. "You" feel differently and that's fine. That picture posted on here shows Sully in a position where his muscles are contracted, so of course it appears he looks in really good shape there... in the video all he's really doing is moving a little and walking. People who sell weight loss stuff prey on people looking to lose weight with photos and video... when in reality most times those people aren't that big. I'm not talking photoshop, I'm talking movement, lighting, and just little things that make you look bigger or smaller than you are. Have you ever met a star that you've only seen in pictures or tv/vids and thought to yourself they look bigger/smaller or shorter/taller in person? Why is that? It's b/c pics and videos don't tell the real story!
I said in a previous post that I understand why Sully isn't at his peak right now, as he is coming off of back surgery. One certainly can't exercise vigorously after having that type of surgery. Also, coming into the league, he was already known to have back problems - maybe he never had the opportunity to really buckle down and go nuts, physically.
That being said, he clearly has a ways to go. Some people are luckier than others with their metabolism / build. People like Sully just have to work that much harder and I believe he has the mentality to do so.
