Players from the National Basketball Association (NBA) continue to prepare for the season’s extension. Obviously, everyone was quarantined differently.
While Yamal Murray doubted his ability to get in shape on time, James Harden and Nikola Jokičius slipped considerably and seemed ready to compete. The latter can be complemented by Carmelo Anthony.

The Portland Trail Blazers forward hasn’t lost much weight, but has replaced fat with muscle and is ready to hit the field again. The athlete welcomed the new nickname “Skinny Melo” that has already been attributed to him.
“I find myself every summer, being different. Melo Hoodie, USA Melo, and this summer I’m Skinny Melo. There are many different versions of me, but at the end of the day, I’m still me,” said Anthony.

The choice to lose weight seems extremely rational, since the basketball player will probably have to move to a position that is more common to him on the light edge. Due to the injury of Jusuf Nurkičius and Zach Collins, he spent a long time playing as a heavy winger, but the return of the highs should restore the most normal situation.
The 36 cm and 203 cm tall striker scores 15.3 points (37 percent of triples), 6.3 rebounds and 1.6 assists in 33 minutes this season.
The Portland club will need your services to jump into the playoffs. Currently, the Trail Blazers (29/37) are ninth in the West and must continue to outperform the Memphis Grizzlies (32/33) with Jonas Valančiūnas to continue the season.
