There aren't many NBA players who can outplay Kevin Durant on the offensive end of the floor. He's one of the greatest scorers in league history, and watching him develop into an elite scorer has been fun.

Durant weighed only 215 pounds at the 2007 NBA Draft Combine. He eventually added more weight and currently weighs around 240 pounds. KD can score from anywhere on the floor, but extra muscle helps him with slashing and posting.

It's hard to believe that all three photos above are of the same player, that's how drastic Chris Andersen's body transformation was. His transformation is very similar to Dennis Rodman's.

As a rookie, Andersen was just a regular player who didn't stick out. Later on, he covered nearly his entire body in tattoos, added some extra muscle, and became one of the most valuable NBA players off the bench, helping Miami win it all in 2013.


#15 - Mike Bibby
