Rudy Gay gains 20 pounds of muscle

[brandonislegend]

Rudy Gay has added nearly 20 pounds of muscle this summer in an attempt to bulk up for next season.
Gay boasts that he's topping off at 241 pounds which now gives him the size to challenge people like LeBron James (250 pounds) and Carmelo Anthony (230 pounds) on the defensive end and will help him become more of an interior threat.

breakout all star season coming up!

after he went off against durant in summer usa scrimmage game...

Showcase stats: 27 points, 4 rebounds, 2 assists, 11-12 fg, 3-4 3pt, 2-2 ft

The numbers say it all. Nobody was sharper offensively than Gay. We know he's an athletic freak, but he had his jumper going all week, making him impossible to guard.

On the grizzlies forum they said Mayo beefed up as well. That makes sense because both of them have been working out together this summer.

The reason i'm so exicted is he can get to the rim at will..his wingspan is freaking ridicolous plus is 40+ inch vertical, when he is motivated he can get either a dunk or freethrows every time...maybe extra muscle will give him the confidence he needs to attack the rim

[beasted86]

I hate when people throw around this "X pounds of muscle" statement. Unless your body fat % is relatively the same from when you started working out to when you finished the weight gain... it's not all muscle.

20lbs in 3 months is doable... though.

LOL at Lebron being 250lbs. Lebron is about 275lbs.

And 20lbs of muscle? I doubt it. Some of it is water weight.

Alright, lets do this.

Rudy Gay's 2009-2010 Season:

PPG - 20.2
RPG - 5.8
APG - 2.3
SPG - 1.5
BPG - 1.0
FG - 46%
3P - 36%
FT - 78%

It doesn't matter, he still needs to work on his basketball IQ, rebounding, and defense. Hopefully he can develop better chemistry with Mayo, but I havent seen anything to show me they are working or even communicating with each other.

He has great basketball potential, im just hoping this season he can finally show how good of a player he really is.

LOL at Lebron being 250lbs. .

Same with Melo at 230. They really need to update these guys height and weight every 2 years or something.

[ShaqAttack3234]

Lebron is probably a bit over 260 while Carmelo has to be around 250+ himself.

[DuMa]

Gay is 231 pounds at the most.

soaking wet.
