    You don't want to put serious weight (good weight - muscle) on that quickly or all at once. That's how injuries happen as the body isn't used to the added load all of a sudden. I'm fine with how Brandon is progressing. Magic and Rob in talking in the exit interview that Brandon has to get stronger so he can play more games. But this doesn't mean add a ton of muscle in the wrong areas.

    Never said he should put on a ton of muscle. His "jump" from year one to his second season was barely noticible though. Im fairly sure my 5'3 110lbs. girlfriend is stronger than him.

    2010... That season then as Artest was shutting off the opponent's best scorer, driving Jackson crazy with his shot selection AND loved by the team as their resident enforcer. Those and driving racing cars on the L.A. streets.

    I will always remember how receptive he was to hanging out with fans and using social media to connect. He would often on twitter say lets all meet at so and so beach to play soccer or something. He even gave out his cell phone number on twitter for fans people to reach out to him if need be to have someone to talk to. I have his cell number in my phone still.

    I never called him but loved telling the story to other people. He was a unique player in a time when we didn't always have a ton of unqiue players with his background growing up and the things he had to overcome. Just look at what he did with his one championship ring auctioning it off to help fund mental health awareness and organizations.

    One of the most entertaining, enjoyable to watch players I have ever watched. 2010 team was very special and Metta was a big part of that all year long.

    Still want him to get a coaching gig on our team. Won't happen until after Luke adds a vet assistant on the bench to make Magic happy, IF Luke still has a job next year. Also probably wouldn't happen if we move on from Luke, either.

    Ron Ron received a ring. Not sure why he set the twitter video to where you can't share it, but you can check it out on his page. Here's a side pic. the inside of the ring is incredible.

    Curious why?

    they don’t usually give former players rings that I’m aware of.
