    At different positions, there is a different need for upperbody strength. Yes, some PG's don't really need huge upper body strength, but others rely a lot on it, like Lowry.

    Well KD has clearly shown that you don't need much upper body strength as a forward to be good.

    Like most sports core and lower body strength > upper body strength.

    And yeah, I hate the fact that Durant is untouchable on the basketball court. It's maddening that you can't even breathe on him, absolutely stupid. He's one of the most talented players of all-time and may even end up with a better legacy than Lebron but damn, it's ridiculous how he's treated by the refs.

    Wasn't Chris webber skinny? And not a lot of upper body strength?
