Arizona Wildcats center Christian Koloko became something of an internet sensation last month when an Instagram post showed him looking like the Incredible Hulk as he lifted a barbell above his head in a gym in Southern California.
“He’s finally taking my dang advice and eating,” senior Ira Lee quipped last month.
Other teammates chimed in on Koloko’s new physique, but he laughed it off.
“I was just laughing because I knew I didn’t gain any weight,” he said.
To that end, it’s been a frustrating offseason for the 7-footer, who still checks in at 220 pounds, the same weight he played at last season.
