ESPN just ran a segment on the Lakers-Celtics playoff rivalry over the last few decades and it's shocking to see the films even from the 80's how scrawny the big men were.Jabar,Bird,Johnson,** hale,Bill Russel,Parrish and Walton looked like 3rd world undernourished refugees compared to the guys now.There is no way in hell they wouldn't get pushed around today by even the bench players on 3rd rate teams like the Timberwolves.
Kurt Rambis had to have been the most nerdy looking successful athlete of all time.The guy easily could have been in the movie Revenge of the nerds and they wouldn't have had to dress him in props or do makeup or a hairstyle on him.
Nice shorts too.It's a good thing there weren't cell phone cams and the internet back then because alot of embarrassing shots would have surfaced of things slipping out.
So how in such a short period of time can athletes bodies change that much?Nutrition?Workout techniques?
