You must be using bing search, LOL.

Generally not healthy to go too low, but many athletes do it with no ill effect observed.
I don't question if these things were reported, I Just don't believe them. Maybe what I know is just a myth, but Im pretty sure being below 5% is unhealthy and decreases athletic performance.

There's just no way in hell Malone ever played or trained at 2.6% body fat. I can kind of believe just below 5%, but not sub 3%. That's like what body builders get to right before a competition and it's very taxing to their health.

John Stockton's book references a similar low percentage. There are many athletes documented to be under 4% at the top of their game. With proper diet it is doable. But you believe what you want.
 
That is so awesome. He is one is of my favorite guys on the roster. The hate he gets on here is so undeserved.

Merry Christmas Georges and all of Jazz fanz

What are you talking about. He doesn't get any hate. He's obviously a great guy. I'd love to hang out with him. Sounds like he has an interesting life story.

It's his sub-par basketball skills and general on-the-court suckitude that we hate.

IIRR, body fat acts as a shock absorber around your vital organs, and a certain amount of fat is necessary for other reasons I don't recall. It is unhealthy to go below a certain percentage, and I've seen the 5% minimum figure as well.

I was referring to the hate he gets about his play. The Niang hate in the Green Waiving thread is abysmal. I like Niang as a player. The guy can flat out shoot.

Oh the hate he gets about his play is fully justified. He sucks. We are worse with him on the court. He fails the eye test miserably. Yeah he can hit 1.2 out of the 3 threes he attempts per game. But his D is terrible and for his size his rebounding is atrocious. I wonder what incriminating pictures he has. Is he the new exum, but without the injuries? The new inexplicable untouchable player? I think DL always needs a project player on board for whatever reason. Makes him feel like a cutting edge GM maybe? IDK. All I know is that more minutes from Niang will only mean more blown leads.
 
I really hope Georges didnt come here and read all the slander on his name.

I'm sure it's strongly suggested to players by agents/coaches/management not to visit sites like this.

Maybe one day if Georges is making max money he can be like Shaq and pay one of his hangers-on to Google his name every day.
