David Robinson measured 7-0 without shoes, 226lbs for 1988 Olympics:

[CavaliersFTW]

Team USA listed him at 7-1 235 but he and several of his teammates were measured because they suspected they were being overbilled which at that time was not being done internationally and they were correct, according to his actual measurements he was 7-0 226lbs in 1988.


That's what 7-0 without shoes, 226lbs looks like.

According to draftexpress Durant measured 6-9 without shoes 215lbs... but the NBA currently lists him at ...240?

According to the OKC homepage, that's what 240lbs looks like.

According to draftexpress that's how heavy rookie Dwight Howard was, who also measured exactly 6-9 without shoes:

That's what 240lb rookie Dwight Howard looked like.

240lbs is beastly, even on a 7-0 frame, let alone a 6-9 frame... something doesn't add up.

How much do you guys think Durant actually weighs? I'd guess not much over 220.

Doesnt look more than 240lbs in that case. Weak lower body, and relatively small arms




inb4 23 inch biceps

KD's 1RM on bench press was 185 during his draft... Wilt was doing 185 lb dumbbell overhead extensions.

Bro them arms in that pic are no where near 23 inches, more like 16-17 at best

[CavaliersFTW]

Arnold weighed about 240. Wilt weighed the same?

At least compare similar pictures. I posted all telephoto zoom shots so the focal length would be simlar. You posted a 35mm shot of Wilt, which doesn't fill subjects out.

It'd be like posting this pic of Dwight:


I suppose you don't know much about photography, nor care.

Wilt's arms weren't allegedly 23 inches until 1986, so posting pics of his playing career is pointless in that regard.

^ likewise, KD has gained mass since entering the league, and maybe an inch or so. Yet you are trying to call out the OKC page for listing him 215.

The NBE is a giant fraud.

I would guess 230 TOPS. Dude still looks like a slight breeze would blow him away... but that's the best scorer of this era with super athletes... a twig who couldn't do a single rep of 185 on the bench.

Those pics Wilt with Arnold are ultra gay.

Damn. Prime Arnold was a beast.

"According to the Times, Durant was the only prospect at camp who failed to bench press [COLOR="Red"]185 pounds[/COLOR], and finished behind Oden in some key drills, including the vertical leap, agility drill and three-quarter court sprint."

Damn. Prime Arnold was a beast.

Arnold nowhere near the mutants that compete in bodybuilding now.. i guess just like the rest of the sports.

That reminds me, how the hell is Arnold palmer the 4th earning golfer in the world and he's 85... people must love his lemonade.
