PREVIOUSLY: Nikola Jokic Appears To Have Lost A Lot Of Weight In Quarantine And I Don’t Know What To Make Of It

Marc Gasol has always been a bit of a beefy boy. Especially when you compare him to his svelte older brother Pau:

But now he’s looking like some sort of Before and After transformation you’d see hocking an Instagram weight loss app. It’s a very impressive turnaround for the large Spaniard who generously clocks in at 255 pounds on Basketball Reference but likely walks around in the 270s.

I’m certainly envious as one of the millions of Americans completely left in shambles during quarantine. My usual gym routine keeps all of terrible dietary and drinking habits at bay. But with gyms closed during quarantine, I’ve had to make do with burpees workouts or attempts to run that fail when I inevitably injure myself. I feel like we all had an unspoken agreement to let ourselves get fat during quarantine and yet here we are with some of the NBA’s most reliably doughy big men suddenly looking like male TikTok stars. I’m impressed but feel betrayed at the same time.

Either way, it’ll be amusing if and when the Raptors face the Sixers in the playoffs again and Gasol turns out to be a bit less of a Joel Embiid stopper with his new slender physique. If I’m trying to stop a 280-pound beast of a man, I want my centers as close to a BBW as possible. If I’m Nick Nurse, I’m loading Marc Gasol’s plates of food in Orlando up with Crisco every chance I can get. Be in shape during the offseason, Marc. We’ve got games to win.
