Message: [QUOTE="Ricker, post: 5351939, member: 1245"] I shouldn't dispute what you present as an legitimate sourced fact, but I do. The Ron Artest I saw play for Riverside Church wasn't close to 260lbs. Obviously he could have lost weight from some previous time, but I bet he was only 235 to 240 when he played on that Riverside Church team the year before he played at St Johns, vs the 235lbs Landrew is listed at now.. In 1997, as a high school senior, Ron Artest weighed 244 pounds. He was listed with this weight during his appearance in the McDonald's All-American Boys Game that year. St Johns Roster for 1997-1998 lists him at 244 according to a sports reference. An NBA reference Jun 30, 2021 — College: St. John's ; Height: 6-7 ; Weight: [I]246 pounds[/I] ; Position: Guard / Forward ; Age: 19 Landrew is listed at 235lbs on 24/7 which is only 9lbs different from Artest when he was a year older at St Johns. I think given their powerful frames, there is an argument they are physically comparable entering as high school seniors. We'll see if that measurement is accurate at 235 but I am not as quick to discount it as others. [/QUOTE]
