LeBron James: I'm coming back to Cleveland (OFFICIAL)

[The 24th Letter]

I think a better term than "out of shape" probably could've been used...I just took it as him saying that his conditioning was never where he wanted it to be though...You'll hear coaches talking about guys "playing heavy last year" and things like that when players decide to cut weight or body fat.

but yeah, I would assume it's near impossible to literally be out of shape for an entire season, unless your Eddy Curry.

side note: Who was that player that said they used to eat 3-4 slices of pizza before games?

I'm disagreeing with the notion that he was out of shape most of last season or even half of the season. That's where I call BS and I'm not saying OSU made that up because he did say Windhorst reported it. Guess I should've been more specific then since I obviously didn't mean he was playing with a beer belly and eating donuts before every game.

Just to be clear, I don't agree with Windy either.

I do think LeBron lost weight to deal with cramping, though. I think LeBron was just too heavy and had too much muscle on his frame. Dude is aging, he shouldn't continue looking like a 270LB tank continually.

Rod Strickland used to eat hot dogs before every game when he was in DC and in Portland.

Don't know how they do it man, I remember they showed Rondo eating Ramen and Gatorade before the game....

That would mess me up something serious by the second quarter, lol

That's a lot of sodium
