Felton addressed weight gain

When speaking about his lackluster play upon being traded away from the Knicks in the Carmelo Anthony deal, Raymond Felton attributed it to weigh gain while speaking recently to the media.

“I wasn’t at the weight I normally [am],” Felton said. “I am the first one to say, ‘I wasn’t in shape.’ I don’t make no excuses, I don’t blame anyone else....I am hearing from everybody, ‘He wasn’t in shape last year.’ I played in the league seven years, about to be eight, came in out of shape one year and that’s all everybody wants to talk about. … I look forward to this year and shutting up everybody’s mouth.”
