Syracuse flavored First Take on ESPN

[JDubbin]

Donovan McNabb & Dion Waiters currently on First Take today, I know the show catches some flac here, but it's nice to see a show with a distinctly orange tinge to it!

what was the topic??

Can Dion eat his way out of the NBA faster than DMac did the NFL??

What? You know Waiters is in the best shape of his life, right?

No doubt, dude is DEAD FIT, DEAD FIT. Hopefully, he maintains in off season

That doesn't fit The Narrative tho.

that's what his mouth says . . . the rest of his body says he played in the fewest games of his professional career

He posted a pic, showing before and after working out with Miami - dude is JACKED now.

Ahem.

He got injured - I doubt that his diet had anything to do with that.

no, but his fitness regimen may well have. dedicate too much time to getting jacked and not enough to stretching and repeated trips to the DL are in your future

How can one person have so many bad opinions?

That's not necessarily true. Dynamic warmups before gametime are a good idea, but stretching in the traditional sense (static stretching) during/before/after workouts and whatnot has few benefits and a bunch of downsides. Lifting, even without stretching, will make somebody more flexible, provided they perform the lifts correctly. It's something of a myth that getting really muscular makes a person less flexible.

A couple sprained ankles, the second one being pretty bad. That can happen in hoops, regardless of what kind of shape you're in.

Do you keep the goalposts on sliders? So you can move them more easily?

This, too

LOL, he's doing way too much in this thread. Seemingly determined to bag on Dion's fitness at all costs, regardless of accuracy.

Especially when you wear the shoes he does...

Kobe's? Lot of NBA players wear those with no issues though. Wall, Derozen, I. Thomas all wear them.

I also wear them and have no issues, though I don't venture inside the 3 point arc on either end of the court very often these days. As long as nobody pulls a Zaza on me, I'm good.

This thread took a bizarre turn.

Also I wouldn't say Dion got "Jacked."

way too much? one post and one response?

I used to think you had DW in your handle because you were just a jock sniffer, but you are so over the top defensive about all things Waiters, I'm beginning to think you are Dion himself!

 

[Cusefan0307]

I'm of the opinion that playing for Pat Riley has done wonders for him...

??? 2 posts, not 1.

Weird reply. My handle has nothing to do with Waiters.

 

[JDubbin]

I caught a couple of minutes of the Dan Le Batard radio show on the way to work today, and they were actually discussing/wondering how the Miami Heat were an "outlier" in being a professional sports team that actually has their players in peak physical fitness, Dion Waiters was cited along with James Johnson & Hassan Whiteside as prime examples of this fact. Dion is in much better shape since joining the Heat.

One of the most hilarious posts in the history of this forum

Let's see you post up a pic of you with your shirt off, then we can see who is, and who is not, jacked.

Dion has a 6-pack.
I'm betting you've got a keg.

Yeah because Donnie had a short NFL career. You have to do better.

I'm working on it!

Anyway what I mean is that the work that Dion put in in Miami didn't make him "jacked" ...cut, shredded, definitely. But Dion was always a big guy. Now he has more definition
