I used to be called fatboy by my teammates; not because I was actually fat, but because I had a layer of fat that smoothed over any "chiseled" areas. I was still quicker and stronger than 90% of my teammates, and it gave me a cushion so I could take hits easier. The downside was I couldn't jump as high. I could still get rim without issue, but without the fat and the same muscle, I'd be able to dunk. With the fat and 2 shoe sizes I would have been able to dunk as well... (larger feet = larger pivot while jumping = jumping higher). I never cared about dunking though.
