Longtime fans will remember that after the last lockout a number of players came back out of shape and overweight.  Most notable was Shawn Kemp, who put on about 30 pounds and then built on that over the rest of his career.


This lockout was shorter and offseason training is a bigger part of the sport now, but  word is already out that Raymond Felton is significantly overweight coming into camp.  So who else got Lockout Fat?  My top choices: Baron Davis, Drew Gooden, and Boris Diaw.

Boris Diaw is a good bet.

I think Gooden and Davis are good choices, but how could you ever say that Boris Diaw got fat.  It's funny actually, I caught a little international hoops over the summer and Diaw looked in better shape than ever.  

But, he's probably been home kicking back with the croissants and fancy pastries ever since.

Raymond Felton.

I'm feeling oddly optimistic about Andray Blatche this season. No major improvements but small progress across the board.

I think he's going to have a good year for Washington.

look at the size of his left bicep. Thats huge. I didnt think Baby had any muscle

Wow

keep in mind he's tensing all of his muscles at once . . . many nba players would look absolutely jacked if they did that and you took the picture at just the right time.
