Kevin Durant is Thin!
How come is strong to play in the NBA and rarely gets injured? What training does he undergo? How come he does not bulk a bit more? does getting bigger affects the shooting ability of a player?

Re: Kevin Durant is Thin!
His body is just naturally thin, you could tell that his limbs and bicep area are way too long and frail to gain anymore bulk or muscle mass. He's strong, for a player thats really thin, just not as big and strong as a LeBron James or Carmelo Anthony.

Verticle?
Re: Kevin Durant is Thin!
Weights most certainly does impact your shot. When I was serious about ball I found being light helped me a lot as well. High school ball I was at about 170lbs, and that was perfect. Once I hit college, gained weight, vertical jump went down, and all the weights really take a toll on your shot. It actually makes your shot fall short more often than long, even with the added strength. You try to make your touch too soft if anything... Well, at least that was the case with me.

I usually hit open layups
Re: Kevin Durant is Thin!
He won't bulk up 'cause that way, he's gonna lose his ability to draw fouls when players breathe on him.

Those two are two of the most athletic players over 6'8 right now and they are probably the strongest players at their respective positions.They dont get the calls other superstars get because of their bulk and strength.When you foul a guy like those two you really have to foul them to affect them.
However touching durant is a lot more dramatic because we are talking about a guy who was unable to bench 185lbs

Re: Kevin Durant is Thin!
Having more bulk doesn't equal being less injury prone. If anything having a heavier body takes more of a toll on a person. Knees, tighter muscles, etc.

your ability to absorb contact and not sustain injury is about bone density and not muscle mass

Durant should - at least - gain some legs strength. He's too weak defending the post. Maybe try to emulate Rodman's leg routine.
