Walker Out Of Shape? No…
Hooped Up | October 11, 2007
Heat coach Pat Riley called out Antoine Walker on his conditioning Wednesday and said the forward might not approach the shape the team desires until January.
“It’s beyond irritating,” Riley said before his team faced Atlanta in an exhibition at AmericanAirlines Arena. “I’m beyond being irritated. I was irritated the first year when I signed him. I was really irritated last year. I’m beyond irritated. I don’t have time to be irritated.”
Riley rarely discusses players’ conditioning status, but said Walker reported to camp earlier this month at 262 pounds and 15 percent body fat. The 6-foot-9 veteran is listed by the team in its media guide at 245 pounds.

Riley says that Walker is working hard, working out and that he always shows up 100% when it comes to practice, playing games and everything yet he makes this speech and plays it out in the media.? Sorry is smells of Riley trying to pass the blame for the Heats would be losing season and not wanting to take the blame himself when it happens.
Walker plays hard 100% of the time and I have never seen anyone give more of an effort.
