Damian Lillard was asked about his weight: “195.”-“Lowest you’ve ever been”.Dame: “Probably the lowest I’ve been in 10 years. Man, I’m showing my age.”
Everyone’s in the best shape of their life this off season apparently
Hes saying hes old and has lost lots of muscle i think
I took it like he realized what he said after the “10 years” comment
And Simmons got a jumpshot
Not me!
Fucking scrub I’m the highest I ever been 😎
Man just keeps getting larger and larger
the biggest, the largest
Hes a big, big boy, hes the biggest boy!
Same weight but I’m 5’9”Showing my age…
Im 5’9 too but damn you heavy
Muscle weighs more than fat. That’s what I say
5’7 low 80’s, it is what it is.
Bruh just say u built diffy. Muscle don’t weight more than fat its just more dense
Fat as hell
It’s about Dame ⏱️
88.5 kilos for all non-Americans.
How many stones is that?
Round about 14.
How many ounces is that?
What’s a non-American?
A non American is someone who doesn’t have to worry about their kids getting shot in a school
We started bombing other country’s schools so yall don’t feel left out.
Ouch
LMAO🤣
sorry lil pup, american culture is global culture and school shootings are worldwide these days
Normal people
Can you convert it back to pounds for Canadians
Yeah, grandpa, age related sarcopenia is no joke
I’m excited for damn he deserves a good year back in Portland ⌚️
I’m pretty hyped to see him back. Feels like it’s been forever since we’ve had an epic “Lillard game”. He’s always fun to watch when he’s on fire.
He belongs in Portland for sure glad he’s back
A relatively lean 195lbs is not that small for 6’2. Most even at that height don’t have the genetics to hold that much lean mass.
HAVE YOU seen bro’s glutes and back? bro is a big boy
I’m 6’2. Was chunky at 220. 190 felt healthiest I’ve been in my life so I’d imagine a nba caliber player with high muscle mass is sitting in the 200-210 ballpark
Portland about to be the funnest 12th seed of all time
they’re definitely making the playoffs, the drop off in the quality of teams after the top 6 in the western conference is pretty big.
Drop-off after 2 seed to 3 is even bigger
Yeah like the easiest way to do this is to look at who is worse than them
Kings? Yes
Grizzlies? Yes
Pelicans? Probably. They’re a weird “on paper” team but were healthy last year and were bad
Mavericks? Maybe, but they’re trading Kyrie. Easy pick to say the Mavs are worse.
Clippers? Yes. Ingram has partially torn Achilles and they are worse than last year, no idea how that means they win more games. Garland, Wagler, Strus, DJJ and Lopez is NOT a playoff team.
Warriors? Yes. The Warriors made no significant improvements, Porzingis is already hurt, Butler is out to start the year. They’re going to suck.
Suns got Bridges but lost 2 Centers and Grayson Allen. Honestly hard to say how that will translate but will leave it at a maybe for now.
Jazz I’m actually pretty high on. I think they’re better than the Blazers
So I think at worst, Blazers are clearly better than at least 6 teams and could be better than Suns. That’s an 8⁄9 seed if we’re assuming the Jazz jump them, which is basically where they were last year. The 6 teams in front of them are still the top 6.
As for playoffs, I think Blazers will be in the mix to make it in through the play-in. Saying they’re a 12 seed when that requires 1 of the Kings, Grizzlies, Clippers or Pelicans to be better than them, as well as every other team, is insane.
The team was a 7th seed last year, had the most injuries for a non-tanking team, and added JA + Dame with only losing Jerami Grant and Kris Murray.
How would they take that large of a step back lol?
Nah Avdija makes them a 10th seed at worst
5th in the West.
Cannot wait to see his first game back
I don’t want to Jinx anything but Portland look good. Deni, Jrue, Ja and Dame. If they’re healthy and focused I wonder how things will go.
They changed coaches though, so that will be interesting
I remember a couple of all star games ago there was a clip of him calling out LeBron in the locker room for not including his name with the other young guys and LeBron having to break it to hom that he was old. Seems like he finally accepted it lol
Love dame. I hope he has still has it cause he is easily one of the most entertaining players to watch when he is on.
That’s wild-I’m down five pounds myself without meaning to.
Are these dudes all string beans lol?
Probably better for career longevity, especially when you’re in your 30s. These guys do so many sudden, explosive movements. Even LeBron had to slim down pretty significantly later on.
Vince Carter once said he lost 5-10lbs a season after a certain point because he realized he would keep his legs healthier
Just compare LeBron from Miami to each stop afterwards, he kept losing weight as he aged.
Sure, but 195lbs? I know he’s not the tallest player but that still seems light.
Dude is like 6’1 barefoot. Healthy weight.
6’1” 195 isn’t that light. Like MJ was probably 195 coming into the league. Not like Dame is trying to be Chris Paul or Harden in the paint anyway.
I’ve noticed a trend of NBA players, specifically guards, coming in and playing with a much bulkier (muscle wise) build than players of the past. Today we have guys like Desmond Bane, Anthony Edwards, Jaylen Brown, Dame, those guys look like they could be in the NFL. Compared to last generation’s players like Jordan, Kobe or Ray Allen. I’ve seen a clip of one of Ray’s training sessions and he has like 0% body fat. Kobe used to look like a little kid in those oversized NBA jerseys of the 00’s.
In fact, 195 is into the Overweight category according to BMI. Not that it’s a perfect metric or Dame is fat, but basketball is an endurance sport and I bet his BMI is higher than league average.
195 for his height is not a string bean.
I am 6’3 and 210. But I don’t have the muscle mass NBA players have. I am not that bulky at that weight, but I am not scrawny either.
If you don’t have that much muscle you have probably 20 pounds of fat to lose
I am 52 bud. Of course I don’t have the muscle mass of an NBA player. I have a full time job that doesn’t pay me to work out for hours a day. 😂
Dame is jacked my guy lol what are you talking about?
I think most players lie about their weight and say it’s less for contract reasons, keep the team front office off their back
I take it you’ve never seen an nba player up close. I watched Dame and Steph near courtside once, and they’re both pretty built in comparison to others their size.
Compared to the average redditor? I guess lol. Grown men really getting triggered by professional athletes in elite shape talking about their weight 😭
I like Dame but I wish nothing but the worst for this team. Nobody likable on the team besides Dame and Timelord
Scoot isn’t likable? Yang Hansen?
Meh. I don’t dislike them but I don’t necessarily like them. I also don’t think they’ll be successful in the NBA
It’s a contract year for Scoot, definitely a make it or break it kind of season. I am still very optimistic in his game. We shall see.
What’d jrue do to you
Forgot he was still on the team lol Free Jrue!!
Booooo
