some breakups when it comes to athletes leaving NYC... some of them left, and I never really felt anything. Wished them well and hoped that we could recover. Some, I felt indifferent (Odell).
KP? I don't think I've ever disliked a player so much after leaving. I'm happy he is gone.
Must have graduated to the 25 pound bumper plates Â
but considering his injuries were lower body related; three to the knee, two to the ankle and one to the lower back I'm not so sure adding the extra upper body weight that the lower body now has to deal with is a good idea. I can certainly see where the strength will improve his game tho.
If he was still on the Knicks I would be concerned abt this approach. But know it ain't my problem.

He's got access to world class strength and conditioning personnel and equipment, i'm sure they are doing everything possible to make sure his base is strong.
That said he's made of glass, I don't think anything will help that.

It's interesting to me that I feel similar distaste for KP. It feels like he deserted the fans, most of whom really loved him here.
What's ironic is that if Dolan and Mills were making the calls and I was playing for the Knicks, I'd be looking to leave at the first opportunity as well. So his decision is understandable to me.

Ya my guess is post ACL, he's got a hugely new & improved lower body workout, likely w/ a lot more speed / form / coordination drills in addition to strength. Even if he's an ass (and say only listens to his brother...), he has a slew of pro trainers & med guys likely filling out his training schedule
Someone above said 'he looks like a twig' - being a skinny lanky 7'3" will do that - but we can't see his legs here to make that assumption esp in context of him bulking up. No way he is only focused on uppers as a pro athlete post leg injury

I hate that I have to feel this way. KP is the most intriguing player next to Zion and we had him. Yea he’s been hurt, may never reach his ceiling or potential but I would have done everything possible to keep KP here. His brother is an asshole. So is KP for that matter for even allowing this bridge to be burned. Fucking sucks that it came to this. I have a much harder time reconciling this trade than I did the Beckham move.

This. Especially if you're taking workout supplements like creatine and other non-banned preworkout crap.

one of his brothers is his trainer
He genuinely isn’t going to look anywhere near as big as he does in that picture (which still isn’t huge), he’s fucking mid-rep for Christ’s sake.
