He's lost 15 pounds since the end of the season which is phenomenal since he should have been pretty lean after 82 games and 12 playoff games.
Say's he wants to push the pace this season and the team will have a pre-training camp after Labor Day.
He always had the rep of gaining weight in the off-season but looks like he's learned something after Portland.
I look at it the other way around. This is just like all the EY Curry Fluff pieces of his conditioning right before camp was to begin.
Look that's why they qualify the weight loss and say..."AT THE END OF LAST SEASON"
If you go back to the beginning of last season remember Raymond "PUT THE CUPCAKES DOWN" and came into camp with a chip on his shoulder about his conditioning? Remember Roy Williams made comments of how committed Ray was and that he's been in the best shape he's ever been in his career?
Do you guys blackout certain things concerning a season from season-to-season?
Look you can't come into camp every season losing weight if.....
Wait for it
Wait for it
Wait
Wait for it
Wait
Here it comes.....
IF YOU HAVEN'T PUT ON WEIGHT DURING THE SEASON LAST YEAR
This tells me Ray probably does what many athletes do to lose weight fast(maybe boxer style fashion and do a healthy dehydration) but as time goes by their walking around weight comes right back to earth. It's not like Raymond weighed 300lbs and needed to drop major weight gradually each season. You can't lose weight every off-season. Raymond has always played around 205lbs. So if he lost weight last yr, let's say 10lbs... and lost 15lbs this off-season, he's like 180lbs. Come on Gimmie A Break
There's nothing here....but fluff to make you feel good.
AND HERE WE GOO WITH REFERENCES OF WHAT WAS SAID TO TIMELINE THIS ALL DOWN
July 2012
Raymond Felton is motivated and in shape.
That?s what North Carolina coach Roy Williams told me Saturday morning at the Peach Jam where he is scouting some of the top high school prospects in the nation.
?He took less money to go to New York, he could?ve gotten more money somewhere else,? Williams said. ?He wants to be in New York. He is motivated. The people in New York should remember how good he was for half a year because he played his buns off. He played his buns off.?
Williams said Felton was at North Carolina recently and was in good shape.
?Raymond Felton will be in shape,? Williams said. ?He?ll be fired up. He is fired up right now. He looks great.?
He added: ?I asked him six weeks ago, ?If a team says you need to lose 15 pounds, what are you going to tell them?? He says, ?I?ve already lost 10 and I?ll lose 10 more.? He?s going to be motivated.?
So what a sec Raymond actually said he lost 10lbs in July of 2012 and that he would lose 10 more. Which means when the season started, going from his natural playing weight.... he should have been 185lbs at the start of the season.
Now fast forward a year he's another 15lbs which means he's coming into camp anorexic at a slim 170lbs. This proves Thickems didn't put the cupackes down last year. He also spoke of losing weight this off-season and that he's been eating chicken and vegetables.....well what the heck were you eating last year Rhino Thighs, Hippo Breasts...Raymond do this, tell us what you were eating last year....
STFU about your conditioning.....
