It doesn’t seem like NBA superstars LeBron James or Carmelo Anthony would need to lose any weight as some of the best in the league, but the two have already accomplished that. The Cleveland Cavaliers and New York Knicks ballers took to their Instagrams to post some new post-workout photos while getting in shape for the season, and fans couldn’t help but notice how much slimmer they looked.

The two are reported by Sports Illustrated to be on a complete “low carb” diet, which will force the body to rely on fat for fuel. While LeBron has always had a more muscled, trim figure, his face showed a bit more of weight dropped from his cheeks. Melo, on the other hand, looks like a whole different basketball player, as he has always been a little more filled out.

Both of their free agent anticipation weeks must have really changed their whole mindsets, since their weight loss could easily change the way the two play on the court this upcoming season.

Do you guys think these two should have dropped the pounds, or were they better off before?
