Riley criticizes Walker's weight
Antoine Walker's conditioning remains an issue -- so much of one that he was the target of more critical comments from Heat coach Pat Riley. Riley made his most critical remarks yet about Walker, who continues to struggle to meet the team's rigid conditioning standards that led to his four-game suspension last season. Riley said Walker, 31, reported to camp weighing 262 pounds -- more than 20 above what was expected -- and might not meet his team-imposed body-fat percentage goal until January. Walker, Riley said, is now down to 256 pounds but has been slowed by an Achilles' injury.

Toine's weight has always been up and down during his career, so hearing Riley's complaints is nothing new.

I'm sure Walker's not worried about his weight. You don't have to be in shape to play no defense, walk down the court, and put up ill advised 3's all day.

He is the male Oprah as far as weight issues.
Personally I always like the fatter Antoine.

What difference does it make? He stinks anyway. It doesn't take a lean machine to take the crapiest shots in the league.

Doughboy never was much for conditioning and that problem was made worse when they won the title. Other than Wade, Haslem, Wright, and Simien the whole team is fat, unmotivated, and lazy

He's always had a problem with his weight. But if Riley chooses to bench him, who do you play in his place?

You guys You guys must I scold you about this once every year?? Antoine Walker was the reason they won that Game 6 of the Finals in 06!! And he didnt win it with 3pointers he won by hustling, playing defense on both ends of the floor!! He finished that game with 11rebounds 2assist 1steal and 1block!! For a guy like Antoine those were incredible stats and he didnt even attempt a 3 pointer in 34 minutes of play!!!! He'll get in shape but Pats'mad at him cuz he needs that Game 6 Antoine not the old Antoine!!! Cut him sum slack he got robbed over the summer and his confidence is very low because of haters like yall! I support you Antoine I know what you and Zo did to bring home that trophy home, I'll never forget it!! He'll lose the weight!!!!

I'll give Walker a pass because yeah he did get robbed. The last time my house was robbed I got very depressed and ate a Big N' Tasty for breakfast, lunch, and dinner for 6 months straight.
Now people might know why I would fall out of my seat laughing when the heat would be rumored in sign and trade deals. Guys like walker are unmovable(no pun intended) .

So according to MacaDamien, that's why Eddy Curry also reported to camp overweight, because he got robbed this summer. Damn, thank you man for dropping that gem on us.
Scold us once a year, while we scold you every day. LMAO @ YOU!!!
