Nah.. was thin in high school. I biked to school back then, played basketball and cricket during lunch break and was in the school's tennis team in Summer and badminton team in Winter.
Mainly FT's. Also seems to have a better natural defensive IQ and a better offensive touch on things that aren't dunks. DeAndre Jordan is really ****ing good though, so I don't see how being DeAndre Jordan that can hit FT's is a bad thing.

Spirit; pluck. Considering it is also a vulgar term for *****, it is rarely used in its normal form due to the obviously easy possibility to misinterpret it.
"That athlete shows a lot of spunk on the soccer field"
"What?!"
"He shows a lot of spirit and determination"
"Oh."
sorry yr fat now
Yeah it started at Uni.. I picked up some bad eating habits, wasn't playing much sports. Then when I was working I would sit in an office 8 - 9 hours a day, did nothing active over the weekend.
Plus I was living with my ex-gf at the time and she's korean so she's really into cooking, and was doing everything around the house, washing, ironing, etc. I was 80kg + at my heaviest back then.. just weighed myself and I'm 64kg now, so hopefully I can keep this healthy lifestyle going.
Wait, how tall are you? 80 kg definitely ain't fat.

Defensive fg% allowed at the rim:
DJ: 49.3% (#63 in nba)
RG: 38% (best in show)
Edit: also, DJ: 26 years old, RG: 22 years old
Damn, really? I thought he was a lot better defensively than that. I guess he is more of a help defender than an anchor.
Rudy's length means he can just put his arms straight up and that deters players from attacking. Problem with DJ is he relies on his jumping abilities to block shots, etc.
Dude, Jordan is nearly as long as Gobert. It's not like he is undersized. He just isn't as good at position defense.

I think the difference is the team they play for and the conditions.
Rudy was the perfect game for the young Jazz roster to shake things all around and give morale boost to them.
Jordan is not getting hyped any more than he already has been.
Also, Rudy runs the floor and shoots better.
Rudy also has a lot better IQ as he has been raised by Erman Kunter in European team Cholet Basket.
Jordan just looks like a bruiser compared to him in that aspect.
That really isn't fair to say. Jordan is the best rebounder in the NBA, hands down. You can't do that, no matter how big you are, and not have a good motor. He just doesn't have that natural basketball IQ like Rudy does.

BMI charts are B.S. They're not really used much anymore. For example, I'm 6'1." I was skinny as a rail in HS and weighed 155. Didn't have much muscle at all. I was clearly underweight. With even a minimal amount of muscle mass...I'm talking about just looking fit and healthy, I'd be at 200-205.Approx. 5'8" ... I think I was about 83kg from memory, according to the BMI chart I would have been overweight.

Agree. He can get pushed around a bit underneath, but he then has the wingspan to recover most of the time. For that reason, I don't want him to put on a ton of weight. Get stronger, maybe put on 10 lbs or so? But don't do anything to take away the quickness. I'm hoping the fact that he's relatively slender puts less stress on his feet and knees. So many great centers have been done in by foot problems.
Ugh, you said it out loud, you jinxing sob!
In other words, that's also my biggest fear.
