I think X is right
The NBA player was 6’9”
Hardly morbidly obese.
Even if they are not racing up and down the court they are moving pretty fast and the number of times they go up and down is a good work out

"Hardly morbidly obese. Even if they are not racing up and down the court they are moving pretty fast and the number of times they go up and down is a good work out bla bla bla"

Corncob was morbidly obese.

Do you know why he wore the #50?

The not-that-old age of his crack-head drug-addict wife-beating pappy, who succumbed to diabeetus ( "Carl Sr. was 6-8 and nearly 500 pounds at the time of his death." ). Keep reading, if you actually can read...

Caleb Swanigan battled his weight his whole life

"He was a huge kid, tall and unhealthy and overweight, weighing 360 pounds before eighth grade when he moved from Utah to Fort Wayne to live with a longtime family friend and sports agent, Roosevelt Barnes. This wasn’t a recruiting thing for Barnes, not an investment in the future as people tried to make it over the years, seeing how Barnes had played football at Purdue and Swanigan ended up at Purdue and then in the NBA and isn’t that convenient?

Their relationship was never about convenience. On Biggie’s first morning in his new home, Barnes told him to grab some cereal before they went to the gym. Biggie grabbed a box of Kellogg’s Special K, a big one, and emptied it with a gallon of milk."

He always did battle his weight. Some people are genetically predisposed, and that was the case with Biggie. One of the final times I saw him, a practice day at the 2017 NCAA tournament in Kansas City,

Biggie was riding a stationary bike. He was wearing a sweatsuit, the kind wrestlers wear to cut weight before weigh-in. Even then, a college athlete, just 20, Biggie was fighting off his body's natural inclinations.

Biggie’s final two years on this planet were much like his first 13 – they were hard. He was arrested by Columbia City police, just west of Fort Wayne, in May 2021 for possession of marijuana. Biggie stayed out of the public eye after that, other than that arrest – he pleaded guilty to misdemeanor marijuana possession, and was given a 180-day suspended sentence – but you heard things. He was gaining weight, reportedly 400 pounds at the time of his arrest.

Five years later his body won, and we have lost. He died of natural causes."

"Hardly morbidly obese."
