Look up people like Byron Scott, Kenny walker and other role players and check their physiques. Then look up a star like MJ and see his muscle tone. These dudes now are flabby jokes. All the cushioning in the world couldn't protect these chubbsters. Check out the Lakers when they wore retro shorts D fish and KB were the only ones with quad and hamstring definition. Errybody else looked like bean pole 5th graders. I tell no lies. Look up George Gervin, Wilt, etc from the past and see why they were able to play in canvas sneakers without their bodies falling apart.
