Our bodies can't really... Not everyone can handle all that.

So being light isn't really that bad as long as you're able to move and you're strong.

And you're seeing that today in the NBA.

There's hella skinny dudes.

When I was coming up...

I feel like if you were skinny, you were frowned upon and just brushed away.

But now, bro, there's guys that are like 6'8", 160, bro.

You know what I mean?

And they're just going to be put on a program, but they can still compete and still are given the time of day because they could just ball out.

But in my time, I feel like coaches would just...

scrutinize you for like you could like i couldn't even practice unless i made a weight wow yeah dude like i don't yeah it was crazy and i feel like that is also hard on the mental for just speaking on mental health for athletes it's like imagine like i had to go into practice like yo you

I'm chugging protein shakes, chugging gallons of water just to make my weight so coach doesn't get onto me.

And then I gotta go hoop.

So I'm playing sluggish because I'm over here just trying to make weight.

And what am I making weight for?

I'm here to hoop.

I'm not here to...

be a bodybuilder or anything, but.

That was the science back in the day.

And I just think like now there's just so much science back that's able to prove like you don't actually need necessarily that much weight or like that quickly, I guess.
