John Wall, Beasley, and DMC playing against the UMD Turps.

DMC looks likes he's in GREAT shape when they show him in the beginning of the video. I wasn't sure it was him when I first watched it, but they show the player's name in the bottom-left of the video.

The more big man ball I watch

the more and more I’m convinced that the bigs should work on getting skinny more so than even the wings. It’s just too important: excessive weight is the death of most bigs. They should work on filling out their frame, losing the fat and from there strength alone, no size.

Basically what Phoenix did with Amare. It sounds so obvious when stated, but Duncan, Garnett, Tyson Chandler – those are the ideal body types players in the league should be shooting for.

So good job Demarcus, keep shedding those pounds and enjoy your new-found explosiveness.

Meet Shaquille O’neal…. Arguably the most dominate big man to ever play

And then Shaq fell out of shape and deteriorated greatly.

Or in other words

If he had kept himself in shape, there wouldn’t be a need to say “arguably” the most dominant big man because he would have been.

Shaq played in the NBA from 1992 to 2011

And was the most dominant big man in the league for at least a decade. I’d say he did just fine with staying in shape.

Did you even watch Shaq play when he entered in the league in 92?

then you should have a good understanding of how important it is for DMC to get in shape

Where did I ever say anything about Cousins not needing to lose weight?

My comment regarding Shaq was in regards to

Shaq would not have been one of the most dominate players to ever step foot on a basketball court if he was “skinny” like a Duncan, Tyson Chandler or Kevin Garnett

And I am saying that Shaq around 300 and not 350 pounds was all kinds of explosive and unstoppable.

and if DMC doesn’t shed the weight, he will never be close to as explosive. Either way, yeah no way DMC is getting Garnett or Tyson Chandler thin anytime soon.

Who was more dominate, 300lb Shaq? or 350lb Shaq

Because I’d say 350lb Shaq in the 3peat was far more dominate than his younger years.

Which in reality it’s probably 350lb shaq vs 400lb shaq, ask Scott Pollard haha

I think we are on agreement that Cousins needs to shed weight, possibly even a lot of weight. I was only referring to original comment on the “ideal bodies” and how bigs should be like Garnett and Tyson Chandler, because I’ll take Shaq in his prime any day over them…
