Tim Hardaway: Kyle Lowry Is 'Not Fat and Overweight, Heat PG Wears 'Football Pads'

Former NBA All-Star Tim Hardaway came to the defense of Miami Heat guard Kyle Lowry, who has been the subject of plenty of criticism about his weight.

Hardaway gave his thoughts to Ira Winderman of the Sun-Sentinel:

"I want you to write this. Kyle Lowry is not fat. He’s not fat and overweight. He wears these football pads under him to make him look like he’s bigger. He's way slimmer than what you think he is. I've been telling folks that for the longest. And everybody’s like, 'No, he's overweight.' No, the guy is not overweight.
