Check out this link from deadspin: click on this. Kendrick Perkins lost SO much weight. He almost doesn't even look like the same player.
"Perk lost 31 pounds during the offseason."
31 pounds is quite a bit in like 5 months. Maybe he got on the Subway diet or something. Regardless, I am actually a bit worried, he was a big (gigantic) rock in the middle of the lane that funneled drivers away from the basket, giving Ibaka more opportunities to be Iblocka. But, perhaps this will help his offensive game a too, giving him more mobility to not be that rock when Russ drives in himself.
Will he lose some strength? Can he be pushed around now?
Or, did he just work really hard to get into the best shape of his life and he will be a beast this year?
I don't know, I'm scared, I'm excited. Let's just hope David Stern doesn't veto the weight loss.
What are all of your thoughts on this?
