    Oh god, I liked a post complimenting LeBron highly. I just needed to let you guys know I didn't really enjoy doing that.

    When you lose body fat, you're much leaner and your muscles are more prevalent.

    Lotus Flower dropping that baby fat.

    To expand on that: he might have lost 15-20 pounds just by looking at the scale.

    Biologically he might have gone from 10% body fat to 5-6% body fat and lost even more weight than 15-20 pounds. Then through workouts he might have put on another 5-7 pounds of muscle.

    Losing weight isn't always a good thing, it's changing body composition. Just by looking at him I'd say he might not have actually lost 15-20 pounds. He might have lost 10 pounds, but put on more muscle weight. He looks big. Also got to remember he's just 20 years old. He can get bigger.

    That happens when you lose body fat and gain muscle and get shredded remember muscle weighs more than fat.

    He looked good in some aspects tonight. I think he rushed it offensively, but that should be expected since he hasn't played all out ball in a while. He showed flashes, and he is really quick with his first step off the dribble. What really stood out to me was how EASILY he moved the big guys out of his way. It looked so effortless.

    noticed that too

    very impressive

    his first step will be a nightmare for many opposing players

    if he can muscle his way to the hoop during the season there will a lot of and-1's and its little things like that which makes BIG differences in a close game

    I want to see him work on boxing out, and using his off hand. I know his right hand was always a big question mark coming out of UK. I think he needs to work on that or else he will get exposed for only using his left. Also, his free throws need some work, but that will come with time and practice.

    Once he gets his rust off, Lotus Flower will be unstoppable in ISO situations

    1 rebound won't cut it. I was expecting more from him. Overthinking lots of times but when he gets aggressive he was unstoppable.

    Always wondered why in NBA2K15 they call Randle a "Rebound Specialist".
