Also, I realize angles and photoshoot pictures are going to make him look bigger than in game photos, but even then, you can see a noticeable difference.

ChosenOne Posted October 6, 2012 Report Share Posted October 6, 2012 He is putting on some size, which everyone agrees was and is still needed. I am surprised at the rate it seems to be coming on though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sħãlïq™ Posted October 6, 2012 Report Share Posted October 6, 2012 (edited) Speaking of putting on size -- Durant is bulking up too… relatively: Kevin Durant is getting bigger with ageThe Thunder star looks bigger, stronger. But Durant said nothing special was done during the offseason. http://cdn2.newsok.biz/cache/w620-b9a267ca05c6d826aa6b04cf900b72fe.jpg From his lower body, through his midsection on up to where it’s as clear as ever — his upper body — Durant has bulked up. As with everything else that defines his skills, Durant isn’t overly interested in discussing the matter. That he said as much as he did hints that he has indeed gotten stronger and is darn proud of it. “I hope so,” Durant said when told he looks bigger and asked if he got stronger over the offseason. “I guess we’ll know when we start banging during the season. But I feel a little bigger, and coach is going to put me down low a little bit more at the 4, so I’ve got to be stronger to guard those guys. I’m just looking forward to doing as much as I can to help this team.” Read more: http://newsok.com/oklahoma-city-thunder-kevin-durant-is-getting-bigger-with-age/article/3715821#ixzz28UlhMJRR Edited October 6, 2012 by Sħãlïq̵' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChosenOne Posted October 6, 2012 Report Share Posted October 6, 2012 Personally with Durant idk if getting stronger is the best thing for him. It really might take some quickness that he has when defenders are in him away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Check my Stats Posted October 6, 2012 Report Share Posted October 6, 2012 Big men don't need to be big. I'm dead serious. Help defense > man defense in this league today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
