durant cant bench press 180

[timvp]

Somebody in the early days of either this or SR claimed that AJ benched some amount like that, or maybe even higher (500?). Turns out that if you looked that weight up, it would be the US record (and top 4-5 in the world) for his age and weight, so I'm not convinced I buy that without a solid source.

I think I've seen it exaggerated upwards of like 550 or something impossible.

But 450 isn't unheard of for someone 185. In fact Earl Boykins weighing 133 and benching 325 is more impressive.

Next time, took him to the low post and had my way with him.

that kinda sounds gay....

[BeerIsGood!]

Earl Boykins is a human ant.

[Obstructed_View]

did not do one rep higher than 180...thats pretty weak...i dont care how good u are...i kno some middle school kids who can bench that at least once

Wow, maybe Seattle will draft one of those middle school kids and try to teach them basketball instead of putting the baddest mother er in college basketball into a weight program.

[41times]

I predict this lack of strength will make Durant fall all the way to #2 in the draft. Terrible isn't it!?

[ALVAREZ6]

tiger benches 400 as well

no he doesn't

[ALVAREZ6]

at this chode

Now, that's where I can see the argument of having short arms...he has a huge chest and therefore only moved that 1010 lbs about 10 inches.

[mavs>spurs2]

it didn't even look like he locked out before they grabbed the bar

[Soul_Patch]

That dude is the strangest looking guy ive ever seen. what in the is wrong with him.

[ALVAREZ6]

it didn't even look like he locked out before they grabbed the bar

Because his chode arms are a foot long and his chest comes out 3 feet.

[gregpschneid]

You have to factor in the length of someones arms as well. He dominated a bunch of guys in college who could bench more than him. What's the point of this? The kid will get stronger.

[DarrinS]

I doubt Teyshaun Prince could get that up either

I was thinking the exact same thing.



How much can AK47 bench?

Probably a lot more than Durant

[Vito Corleone]

bull . I could bench 180 when I was in 12th grade

I know 10th grade girls that can bench more than that. Of course I also knew 10th grade guys that were benching over 360 lbs. I knew one guy who by the time he finished his senior year was benching over 450 lbs.

I know no one that could play the game of basketball as a freshmen like Durrant can.

[mookie2001]

I guess Durant doesn't want to be picked by us since he performed very poorly. On the flip side, Oden blew everybody away! His speed and agility was off the charts for a player of his size.

you were right

[baseline bum]

you were right

ouch

[Sisk]

hahahahahaha

nice 2 year bump/call out

[Cant_Be_Faded]

If yall think this is funny, look at Tlong's college forum posts from years ago

[23LeBronJames23]

It Doesnt matter if he cant bench he was only 18 back then.
But he can average 25 PPG 6 RPG and nearly 3 APG

[greyforest]

bench press isn't a very good measurement of strength between people of different heights. power lifters tend to have very short arms, which means less leverage and less range of motion. some college weightlifter guy's range of motion was literally like one inch since his chest was ing huge and he was like 5'4".

also powerlifters put on these vests that act like a springboard and then they can lift like 20% more weight with them.

benchpressing really puts lanky people at a disadvantage since leverage is such a huge variable. i bet tim benchpresses a rather "weak" amount too, if you don't understand physics.

i hope everyone realizes this is from '07

i hope everyone realizes this is from '07

wait what year is it? lol jk

Durant is a good player, but he's nowhere near as important as Oden is to winning a championship. Watch and learn. I will turn in my unofficial Mookie Crew Virtual Member card if I'm wrong!

Uh, a number 1 option isn't as important as Oden is to winning a championship??? Durant is clearly on a much better level than Oden.

[mystargtr34]

@ all the unathletic people talking about how they can bench more than Durant in this thread.
