Philadelphia 76ers guard James Harden is in top physical shape ahead of the 2022-23 NBA season.
Over a year ago, Harden was noticeably overweight at Brooklyn Nets but he appears to have worked on his physical condition with a new transformation.
It was a summer of busy physical activities for the former Most Valuable Player as he also prioritised his diet and rest.
When asked about how much weight he lost in the offseason, Harden said: “100 pounds. Tweet that.
“I think at this point it was just dieting, proper rest, then for me I think just strengthening my muscle, gaining my muscle mass – which I always had.
“This last year and a half I really wasn’t healthy enough to put in the proper work like I’m used to. This summer was huge to me in that aspect, the hill runs and weight lifting were important.”
Fans will have to wait for the new NBA season that starts in October for a better indication of Harden’s current weight.
