Sean May (photo. NBA)During halftime of Bobcats/Pistons (FYI, Allen Iverson is not with his new team yet), the local Charlotte broadcast played a clip of an interview with Sean May regarding his recent benching by Larry Brown, which LB said would last as long as it took for May to get in adequate game shape.
“My knee is fine. It has nothing to do with my knee,” May started out. “What you have to understand is that I didn’t start playing until September, and then I didn’t have a good preseason. Coach wants me to get in better condition, so whatever I have to do — whether it’s doing double sessions, coming in an night, more cardio — I’m going to do whatever he asks.”
If it seems like a long time since you’ve seen May at his best, it has been — that NCAA championship game was more than three years ago, and since then he’s only played in 59 NBA games. But he does have legit skills underneath all the injuries and extra weight he’s been carrying around. If he gets back on track, he can be a poor man’s Zach Randolph at the four; he’ll never be an elite athlete, but he can give you a good 10-12 points and 6-7 rebounds a night.
Would you give Sean May a look when he’s a free agent next summer?

From his picture there, Sean May almost looks like he has Turtle from Entourage’s body. Either that or a slim Zach Randolph.

I was/am a HUGE UNC fan, and I always liked May. I like how he’s saying that he’s going to do whatever coach asks of him. I just hope that he really does it.

He’s massive in that shot. You could do a skin fold test on his forehead.

How lazy do you have to be to let yourself get overweight and out of shape when you are getting paid millions of dollars just to play basketball. Sean May and Eddy Curry both deserve to get fired.

Sounds good I hope he follows through…Larry surely will give his fellow UNC guy all the chances to succeed.

I don’t think Larry cares much about current UNC guys. You saw he wanted to draft Augustin even though they already had Felton.
