Has anyone seen the latest pic of Lebron? I saw this article, man what a difference...I almost think he looks sickly. Hard to tell from one picture though....

A winner is someone who recognizes his God-given talents, works his tail off to develop them into skills, and uses these skills to accomplish his goals.

Push yourself again and again. Don't give an inch until the final buzzer sounds.

[dang].......

looks like he lost his connections in south beach. If he doesn't have bulldozing power, his game will take a hit IMO. It's his biggest strength.

Yeah, says he lost 10 lbs by cutting his carbs.

Mostly water weight really when it comes to carbohydrates. He could gain it back in a week if he wanted to.

I also read somewhere that the NBA will implement a new drug test policy.

Lebron and Wade gets skinny?

Is there a connection?

good move by him to improve longevity, even if it isn't ideal in the short run.

Playing with Kevin love and Varejoa, he doesn't need to be down low. He's already one of the most athletic players. He's going to be running up and down the court with Love dishing outlet passes( who's one of the best big men at it). Going to be deadly.

Yea.  I was surprised.  He got rid of one of the things that made him dominant.

Pictures can be deceiving and it is just one pic.  I'm sure he will look as built as usual come training camp.

I remember Kobe and Duncan doing this too a few years back for career longevity (Or maybe it was related to the NBA drug policy then too).

Well, Miami based Anthony Bosch did just plea guilty distribution of PED's.....

But seriously, if Lebron wants to continue to be a SF, this s best for his career. I do still believe he needs to eventually accept the move to PF.

Lebron could easily be a modern day Karl Malone, only better.

It helps that he's wearing a hat that's about 10 sizes too large...

Wait loss from a diet my ass. He looks like a completely different person in 2 months because he has come of the sauce. No effin way does someone lose that much size in 2 months. NBA might be doing some testing after this Bosch thing might include some NBA players. It would not shock me if Lebron's name came out and he was told to stop so that way the NBA could test him and say "see he is clean".

Have you ever noticed how much weight you lose if you take a couple months off of drinking beer?

Also, there are roughly a kajillion compositional ways that undercuts the idea of comparing the two James photos as evidence of anything other than that they are two photos of him, but that's ok.
At least a goldfish with a Lincoln Log on its back goin' across your floor to your sock drawer has a miraculous connotation to it.

Yeah, world-class athletes can drop and gain weight lightning quick. It's all diet/exercise related man. Really not far fetched at all.

His traps were huge where did they go? You don't lose that much muscle from less than two months of dieting. I have been on all kinds of diets and even taken different steroids in my early 20's and remember the rapid change coming off of them. To me this looks more like a drastic change because of the time period being less than 2 months and anytime there is rapid change its usually because synthetics are involved. He looks night and day different in that pic and that doesn't happen from some diet in 6 weeks.
