When I was a couple of years younger than Durant, I was 5′ 11″ and weighed 125. I had no muscle tone and maxed out at 230 bench pressing free weights, but I could only do one rep.

Instead of Durant trying to bulk up he should MAN UP. First person he went to cry was his mommy. Maybe when he leaves him mommy at home and he man’s up then maybe he can beat the Heat.

There’s no way he can bench that much. Instead if bulking up he should man up. What I mean by that he should stop being a momma’s boy. After he and his thunder got their butts kicked he goes and cries to his momma. Man up KD.

Kurt, so what Twiggy Durant gained a pound, get over it. Twiggy isn’t a stud, just another overhyped dud, until he wins a championship which will be a long time from now. Remember everyone said that last year was Twiggy’s team’s time, now he’s too old and obsolete.

I remember a report from the early 90s out of Chicago concerning the Bulls strength training. When you look at before and after images of Pippen and Jordan, you’d have to conclude it was a success.

Even when you were tricked by the video, how could you look at KD and ever possibly think he benched nearly twice his weight?

Durant benching 325lbs is not possible! I am 6’3″ 240lbs and I just tore my left shoulder to pieces trying to go up from 270lbs to 315lbs! No way no how that dude benches 325lbs!!! I tore 2 of my rotator cuffs man and it freaking hurts!!!!! I am just waiting to be scheduled for surgery here in Sydney, Australia. I am never ever going to go above 270lbs ever again. I am 41 and don’t need to keep up with the young people anymore. God was I stupid!!!!

You’re right, it looks fake. I didn’t remember it seeming so fake but the camera zooms in too far to see if guys are helping him lift it. Oh well… guess Durant is still weak.

Durant’s thin frame took enough punishment to make one of the top elite players in NBA and the world.

That was a video of him benching the bar. Wake me up when the camera pans out and shows 315 go down and back up.

Yeah, you’re right, he hit 315, and this was back in 2010: http://youtu.be/A8CkKe2fkVw

He may have not bulked like LeBron did in his 3 or 4th year, but now he has raw power and is stronger than he appears.

kd can’t bench 325

Durant posted a video on Twitter a couple years ago of him benching 325lbs or something. He may not have bulked up much but he’s a lot stronger than his rookie season.

I love to see elite players working on their games and bodies and taking their craft serious. For all his talent and artistry that was the one thing I most appreciated about MJ, his seriousness towards his profession.

I remember watching KD his sophomore year in the league against the Wolves. He waived off the pg as the clock was winding down and then rocked one of our 3s with a left right crossover. I turned to my buddy, made the ‘ugly face’ and said “he couldn’t handle like that in Austin.” It was evident to me then that the guy was serious about getting better. I watch how fluid his handle is now at 6’11″ (that’s right) and can do nothing but appreciate this guy.

I’m an LBJ fan, but I’m paying to see KD up close and personal this year.

Good idea as LeBron had his way wiht him in the Finals. He simply is too small to defend King James.
