15 NBA players who let themselves go

#9 Derrick Coleman

Derrick Coleman was the No. 1 pick of the 1990 draft and won Rookie of the Year honors for the then-New Jersey Nets. “DC,” though, couldn't reach his full potential as he couldn’t always consistently stay in shape.

Coleman was selected to the All-Star team once but could have been a better player if he had the discipline to keep his weight down.

#8 Baron Davis

Baron Davis was the 1999 draft. “BD” became a favorite among Charlotte Hornets for his skills and high-flying acts despite being a stocky guard.

Davis took his talents to Golden State and also became a darling of the crowd there. He was the leader of the eighth-seeded Dubs that upset the top-ranked Dallas Mavericks in the first round of the 2007 playoffs.

Baron Davis’ had a hard time keeping his weight down after he signed with the LA Clippers. He was often out of shape and retired after 12 seasons in the NBA.

#7 Lamar Odom

After winning back-to-back championships with the LA Lakers in 2009 and 2010, Lamar Odom went to the Dallas Mavericks. Success may have gotten to him as he could barely keep his weight down.

Odom bounced back when he returned to the LA Clippers for the 2012-13 season, playing all 82 games. His skills have declined by then and was slowed down by the extra weight.
