NBA All Emaciated Team

With all the hubbub about Shaq's physical presence, here's a look at the opposite end of the spectrum, guys that you wonder if they have an eating disorder. You have to wonder if Shaq could break some of these guys in two like Bo Jackson breaking a baseball bat over his knee. But this list isn't just to make fun, many of these guys deserve credit for making a career without needing much time in the weight room. My apologies to anyone I forgot (feel free to suggest).

As a note, the height and weight listed is from ESPN, and in some cases are pretty questionable. The eyeball test was used more than just the height to weight ratio.

So here's my top 10 sorted by height:

Jason Terry (6'2", 180 lbs) - Dallas Mavericks

Juan Dixon (6'3", 165 lbs) - Detroit Pistons (as of today)
Seriously, 165?? Are you sure? When he was in college, he only broke 150 with a brick in each hand.


Steve Blake (6'3", 172 lbs) - Portland Trail Blazers

Francisco Garcia (6'7", 195 lbs) - Sacramento Kings

Tayshaun Prince (6'9", 215 lbs) - Detroit Pistons
Girls would kill for that waist. Note that he has to take the shorts in by a couple inches to keep them from falling off.

Tyrus Thomas (6'9", 215 lbs) - Chicago Bulls

Kevin Durant (6'9", 215 lbs) - Seattle Supersonics
Duhon tries to handcheck (as he was taught at Duke), but there's nothing there but jersey.


Travis Outlaw (6'9", 215 lbs) - Portland Trail Blazers

AK-47 (6'9", 223 lbs) - Utah Jazz

Marcus Camby (6'11", 235 lbs) - Denver Nuggets


Proof the NBA or ESPN lies:
Jason Kapono (6'8", 215 lbs) - One more inch and he would look like Tayshaun??

Steve Nash (6'3", 178 lbs) - You can't tell me Steve Blake and Steve Nash are the same height.

Wait, Jason Kapono isn't in his 12th year at UCLA?

Wait, how big is Tayshaun Prince's waist? I'm guessing 28.
