I asked this question back in 2004 or 2005 when the Pop show was still airing on the internet, in hopes that it would be asked, it wasn't so now I ask you. Do you think Manu should add a few pounds of muscle to better assist the pounding he takes when he attacks the rim and prolong his career by allowing him, in theory, to pop up other guards?

Add Muscle + Pair - Nose = Manu 2005

If he puts on weight he will lose some speed and quickness. And if that happens Manu is nothing more than a solid bench player.

Maybe adding a couple of inches in height would be a better way to go.

He is what he is...adding muscle will only make him worse because being a bigger player does not compliment his playing style.

He's thinner than he was in '04-'05.


I'd suggest the occassional protein shake if nothing else.

1. Did Kobe lose speed and quickness?

2. Shouldn't we expect him to lose some speed and quickness soon at this stage of his career, wouldn't some muscle help him evolve his game a but and allow him to post up smaller guards and go by slower ones?

:lobt2:No, he is what he is.........Which is speed, skill, and contortion. Adding weight would only slow him down, and at his age he don't need any help.:rollin

The thought of Manu turning into Dan Majerle lite really creeps me out.
