Knicks’ Guerschon Yabusele focused on fixing game — not talk about his weight
NY Post
CHARLOTTE — Guerschon Yabusele has seen the discourse about his weight. He chose to ignore it.
But it’s also confusing.
“About this, because I heard it, and I could if I wanted to talk about it, but I just decided not to,” Yabusele told The Post Wednesday before he was held scoreless in 12 minutes of action in the Knicks’ 129-101 blowout win over the Hornets. “People say whatever they want to say. If you guys check with my weight from last year, it’s the same. So last year it wasn’t a problem, why is it a problem this year? And I’m actually less than last year.”
Yabusele is listed by the Knicks at 283 pounds, which would place him among NBA’s heaviest using the very unscientific metrics of listed weights. Part of the issue is various websites had him much lighter last season at 265 pounds, which apparently was a mistake. According to the media guide distributed last season by the 76ers — where Yabusele played and thrived — he was 279 pounds.
Either way, Yabusele said he’s unbothered by the weight discussion and is in good condition as he tries to navigate his shooting struggles and sporadic playing time on a new team.
“I’m not focusing on none of that. I’m just doing my thing,” Yabusele said. “I feel good and in great shape. So it is what it is.”
