why do the strongest players in the league tend to have chubbier physiques?

[PHILA]

But the guys in the first group just absolutely beast when it comes to actual strength in the post.

Malone was very strong in the post, he could seal off the defensive player as well as anyone.

The other Malone (Moses) was also a strong post player with quick multiple jumps under the offensive glass.

they aren't chubby, they're big boneded

Same reason all of the women with bangin bodies have "chubbier" physiques. People don't understand what a body looks like. They think dudes arms make them strong or that the ideal male body is v shaped. Its more like a block.

End anorexia now.

They have a strong and thick core. Look at the world's strongest men. They don't look like bodybuilders but are actually rather "chubby".

Didn't know that. Thank you.

Maybe because looking muscular and being strong are completely different things.
