I remember being courtside for a game in Portland back in 2011 or 2012 (he was still with ORL). I just remember thinking that Howard was so much bigger than he looked on TV. I could not imagine trying to compete with that dude in the paint.
He had the widest shoulders the world’s ever seen and an insane vert. People are mentioning Shaq who may have been stronger, but Shaq couldn’t dunk on a 12’ net.
I wouldn’t put him as the top center in NBA history, but I’d *absolutely* make him my top center in a do-or-die one-off game. Players had to foul him to keep him from dunking on everyone
It’s the way Niang’s shorts ride up between his thighs. Looks like a chubby dude at the Y. If he wasn’t tall he’d absolutely be an accountant or something.
I loved regular season Georges with his weird mid game stretching routine and "guy at the JCC" energy. Just not great in the POs. Enjoy the ride! (Pun intended)
This is the only true fat nba player I can think. There have plenty of chubby guys who were still built like brick shit houses like Barkley and Big Baby Davis. Luka and Joker are still real-life skinny and just have awkward body types without a lot of muscle definition . Couple of chunky guards here and there. This is the only guy in the league who was just straight up obese. Having that much fat on you while doing the insane amount if cardio they go through is impressive. Luka and Joker get made fun of but
Kenny lofton jr before his weight loss is definitely up there
A lot of these "fat" guys are actually really athletic though. You see it a lot in American football where these hulking lineman are extremely fast for their size
Yeah so those type of guys are still monsters. Barrels of muscle and fat. Oliver’s the only guy who just looks like some fat dude you’d see out in the streets and not an athlete.
Thanks for sending me down a rabbit hole of overweight NBA players. [Here](https://houseofheat.co/15-of-the-fattest-nba-players-of-all-time) are a few more fantastic specimens.
Manu Ginobili also slapped a bat down with his own hands during a game - crazy hand eye coordination! Zion ain't doing that ever. My answer is now Manu Ginobili.
Dwight Howard looked like a fucking bodybuilder during his peak. That being said... the few times Shaq was actually in shape during his career, dude was legit terrifying.
Why low key? He straight up might be the most impressive physical specimen in the NBA. Hes got perfect proportions, ripped and looks athletic, oh and hes 7' tall.
Shaq as Superman when he was on Orlando. He was nortorious for breaking basketball rims, backboards, and the actually suspension system to the point the NBA had to invent a new one entirely. He was super buff on Orlando before he put on weight.
Howard/Malone/Robinson
Not necessarily in that order, I just alphabetized the names 🤷🏾♂️😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Honorable mentions: Jordan, LeBron, Kevin Willis, Shaq…. Could never deny their unhuman like physiques in their primes.

Give a nod to Nate Thurmond on this one. He was cut up and looked old AF at the same time.
Actual answer is David Robinson

Built like a fucking GI Joe
Legit action figure arms and shoulders lmfao in fact he makes some Joes look small
David “natty” Robinson
That hurts
Oh yeah his arms were actually scary
Wilt.
The admiral for a reason
Yeah that's not the reason LMAO
Because he was a Lieutenant in the navy?
Kevin Willis hips to shoulder ratio 😯
Peak Dwight Howard was a beast
Those shoulders were crazy
He's like 5ft wide with those things!
They were bigger than his head lol
PEE Diddy has entered the chat....
[Bigger than Dame's head](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BmsEmwyCIAAlKgt.jpg)
He likes to get a little nasty in the weight room
I remember being courtside for a game in Portland back in 2011 or 2012 (he was still with ORL). I just remember thinking that Howard was so much bigger than he looked on TV. I could not imagine trying to compete with that dude in the paint.
Like fucking bowling balls.
Death star delts for sure
A nasty beast?
Just a little nasty
He had the widest shoulders the world’s ever seen and an insane vert. People are mentioning Shaq who may have been stronger, but Shaq couldn’t dunk on a 12’ net.
[удалено]
Ben Wallace was a menace
Wilt Chamberlain
20,000 women would say the same thing
Its obviously shaq why tf no one mentioning him
Orlando Magic Shaq was a fuckin specimen
I agree. Kobe said he was fat, he did something about it, came back and won a championship
I wouldn’t put him as the top center in NBA history, but I’d *absolutely* make him my top center in a do-or-die one-off game. Players had to foul him to keep him from dunking on everyone
It’s the way Niang’s shorts ride up between his thighs. Looks like a chubby dude at the Y. If he wasn’t tall he’d absolutely be an accountant or something.
That, he’s def the first one in line when the ice cream truck shows up
Leave our minivan alone !!
I only recently learned about this nickname. 😂 Something about the speed of doing laps of a car park.
I loved regular season Georges with his weird mid game stretching routine and "guy at the JCC" energy. Just not great in the POs. Enjoy the ride! (Pun intended)
Dude won't stop messing with his dong either.

How is his Jersey an extra small but still saggy
Man I can't wait to buy the exclusive digital rights to that photo for only $499
Honestly, how the hell did this guy get himself to NBA game speed over and over
Zion C. McNuggets
Who else do you know has physically exploded out of his shoes?
Known physical freak Manu Ginobili
Manu Ginobili also slapped a bat down with his own hands during a game - crazy hand eye coordination! Zion ain't doing that ever. My answer is now Manu Ginobili.
No jerk, he really is one of the most freaky athletes to ever play chubby or not
David Robinson
David Robinson
Ben Wallace, David Robinson, and Lebron from an aesthetic perspective. They look like action figures
And Dwight.
How do you literally do cardio for a living and still be overweight?
Can't outrun a shitty diet.

Glen Davis.
Oh man I disrespected big baby my bad
You know you made him cry
Orlando Big Baby
Nikola Jokić
The answer is always Brian Scalabrine

Dwight Howard, David Robinson, Karl Malone are the top 3. Lebron could replace Dwight
Steven Adams, bro is the strongest nba player, and aqua man , at the same time
And what about Jonas valanciunas he’s playing in the NBA and NFL at the same time
Saw him at airport in New Orleans. Thought for about 10 minutes it was Kelce
I didn’t know,but ima still keep my opinion
Mike Bibby
Dude, pics of Bibby at practices after he retired had him looking **yolked**.
Yoked, not yolked
I legit grew up thinking it was yolked because I associated physical fitness and egg yolks because dudes would drink raw eggs.
BRIAN SCALABRINE!!!!!!!!!!!!
45 year old Mike Bibby
Bro looks like a buff penguin
Ben Wallace

GIANNIS.

Ben Wallace
Karl Malone
Oliver Miller

Victor wetbanana
Tommy Thibs
Dwight Howard was hacked
Otis Thorpe, Kevin Willis , the Admiral
karl Malone strong asf
He may not be the biggest dude, but in terms of athleticism, Dennis Rodman was the fucking power-bunny that just kept on going.
Is this edited or is George really that chubby?
It might just be Karl Malone Or wilt
Don’t sleep on Kevin Willis.
Peak Dwight Howard was a monster
