Kevin Love drops 25 pounds in the offseason

[Rowe]

Is this a good thing? Might have lost too much for his play style.
240 is pretty small for a rough and tumble 4 man.

He'll put the weight back on during the season. Guaranteed.

He is naturally a "big" guy and sometimes it isn't worth it to fight genetics, and instead decide to maintain conditioning so you're in shape.

A lot of people dont realize that these NBA players dont maintain the same weight when they're on the road non-stop for 7 months.

Shaq is a prime example. He would look in amazing shape during the offseason and when he showed up in training camp, then by April he was 330+lbs.

big difference since his HS/UCLA days

I mean he looks more fit and all, but having a little weight to through around helps get boards. Surgery to fix an underbite?

Kevin Love has this non toned but freakish farm boy strength. He'll be fine even if he loses some pounds.

Agreed he is naturally strong. Sometimes you need to take up space too.

He looks like a white Grant Hill.

He looks like a white Grant Hill.

He actually does. He has that sedated grin.

This sucks, now I can't joke about the best rebounder in the NBA being a fat white guy.

All these threads about players losing weight got me curious , so I was lookin' at Andray Blatche's twitter.

"LOL cant wait to get back n the gym"

I think it's appropriate that a statement about Blatche working out starts with "LOL"

[senelcoolidge]

Losing so much weight could actually hurt him. But I like Love. I wish him the best.

Shaq was always one of those players who "got in shape as the season went along" ala wade, etc.

and wtf at love dude looks like hes been on meth.

[All Net]

Did he really need to? not sure with his style of play that it was needed.

[305Baller]

He looks like a white Grant Hill.

That's a tough thing to do.
