This pic of Lebron, Melo, Wade speaks volumes

[23Barrettcity]

I'd say he's not in the best shape he could be in and I think it does hurt his ability to finish at the rim.

Idk why im going to respond to you since you clearly hate melo but Not really its the fact that he's looking for contact alot as opposed to Making sure he scores . The fact that he's able to rip down his offensive rebound that quickly and go back up to score it means he's strong and has athleticism . What Melo needs to do is go work with Hakeem and work on expanding his post game

This has NOTHING to do with being in shape. Your p*ssy just can't stop itself from creaming whenever Melo is mentioned. It's obsessive

Let's ignore Melos shoulder he played with

If Melo was surrounded by Wade,Bosh, Chalmers, Allen, etc he'd have a ring too,

Throw this thread in the bushes

Dude is a cancer and doesn't know how to share the rock and is no where near the attacker or defender Lebron is either.

Dude attempted 310 shots and had only 19 assists in 12 playoff games. That is 1.6 assists per game

Really so you would say Melo is fat and our of shape ?? Not everyone is built like bron they just aren't . He's also not as fast or athletic as bron


So he's fat and doughy in that commerical oh I guess you guys are chiseled Adonises huh ?

Yea you got me. I'm 5'2, 350 pounds & live in a basement





















SMH @ you making excuses for a professional athlete being out of shape by trying to compare it to posters on a message board.

Makes perfect sense why you've given up on women

 

[Data-Hawk]

Melo has access to the best trainers/cooks in the world. No excuses.

people have done more with a lot less.

o and his job just happens to be a physical sport. lol

i hate going back to Carmelo's work habits but this says a lot. This is at the rookie all star game. Carmelo was a year ahead of Lebron and played in college and you can clearly see the difference in physique. No definition whatsoever. Look at the shoulders. It's like Melo only played basketball to stay in shape.

Fast foward to today..

still no definition.. He's a 3 but he gained the weight of a 4 but he's an undersized 4 because its no muscle there.

Great players who never REALLY had definition:

• Paul Pierce
• Charles Barkley
• Larry Bird
• Shaq
• Patrick Ewing

We can name a whole list of players with great definition that could never put it all together and carry a team to the finals as these guys did starting with Dominique Wilkins.

Players like Tim hardaway and Charles Barkley and probably Melo just have that body type that will NOT get that chizzled look (sp)

Riley, when he brough Tim Hardaway to Miami put wieght incentives in his contract (body fat %) and dude worked hard to get the fat % down for extra bonus money and could never get the whole thing. His body type just wouldnt cooperate.

By the end of their carreers...see a trend?

Shaq was ripped during his prime and most dominant years.

This is obvious to anyone with a brain. The people in here who think you can only be in shape if your body is chiseled probably have a collective IQ of about 70-79.

His post game is already up there if you ask me. He just needs a little more strength so people cant easily force him out of the blocks. Beef up like Jordan did in his last few years. Even if he has to become a PF in the process. If not strengthen his legs so he can finish stronger at the basket instead of hoping for contact and foul calls.

Right now i'd take Melo's post game over 80%t players in the NBA's post game. He just needs to use it more than he does now. But he sometimes gets comfortable outside

Of course but that's BY THE END of their careers. We are talking RIGHT NOW Melo.

And Tim Duncan is an exception to that so far. David Robinson and Karl Malone were ripped until the time they hung it up too BTW

Shaq was ripped during his prime and most dominant years.

Pic violation

Shaq would get "in shape" to the point where he wasnt obviously overweight but dude was never "ripped" and had great "definition". Pretty much like Barkely was hsi whole career. But they could never get ripped like Malone and David Robinson. Again, different body types.

It may be unfair for me to bring Malone into this because he was a workout freak damn near on Jerry Rice's level some would say but you see my point.

 

[ThiefyPoo]

You're not in shape if you're going 2 of 7 in the 4th Q of an elimination game with 3 turnovers. Fat Melo is the Pillsbury Doughboy of NBA stars, soft & doughy in the middle

@ this nikka bein lean

@23statcity

 

[Jerz-2]

I never understood this "fascination" with Melo's physique.

Yeah, Pierce is built the same way. Barkley too....you think Charles Barkley was cut up?

Point is, WHO CARES? If he can produce, why does it matter that dude ain't "cut up"?

shyt is petty criticism.

 

[mastermind]

A lot of 'suspect' threads been made in the Coli lately.

This is one of them.

 

[FreedS[ohh]lave]

If you don't lift you don't get muscles nor definition

I cant lift heavy weights much anymore because of my back i get ripped off of alot of cardio pushups situps crunches and curls not roided ripped but lean ripped

Melo probably puts in some work but his body is just naturally a little doughy
