To be honest, I already feel weird about dissecting the before and after pictures of a half-naked professional athlete that, had he spent the last 5 weeks laid up on his couch eating a variety of cheeses by hand, would only stop running circles around me to jump clear over me in every form of competition that didn't involves ice skates. That being said, all the praise being heaped upon a freakishly long and athletic NBA player that admittedly looks like he's dedicated himself to the weight room this offseason has me wondering whether or not people understood the aesthetics of this scene from Fast Times At Ridgemont High... What I mean to imply is that while whatever Myles Turner is doing from a health perspective is clearly working for him, but so is the glare glimmering off his ludicrously lathered body. There's a reason why there's more modeling shoots held on beaches than in deserts, and I'm pretty sure it's not entirely due to availability. If someone is drenched in anything, including sweat, while their picture is being taken in complimentary lighting they are simply guaranteed to look more in shape. I'm pretty gyms are keeping the mirror industry afloat, and it's due to that very premise. Now, none of that is an indictment of the Pacers' forward's training program, which has obviously increased in intensity. It's just an indisputable fact. Hit him head-to-toe with a hair dryer for a few minutes, and - while we'd still notice a more defined stomach and jawline - it probably wouldn't appear as though Myles Turner were chiseled out of granite. I respect his hustle in upping the expectations of his fans, but to believe this is more of a full transformation than a tune-up you'd also have to believe that summer bodies are in no way visually aided by the sun, swimming, and tanning. Myles Turner's physique is top notch, but to look like he just pulled a baby from a burning building while wearing nothing but gym shorts he had to get greased up by the metaphorical fire.
