View Full Version : Topic: Sean May

I\'ve been a long time follower of the North Carolina Tar Heels and after last years draft I became a Charlotte Bobcats fan. (The addition of Ray and May made it an easy decision) I\'ll admit that I quit watching NBA after MJ retired and am sort of out of the loop when it comes to NBA knowledge, but to stay on topic I became an NBA fan again last year with the Bobcats being \"my new team.\"

But the main point of this thread is to give you my feelings on Sean May. After reading through the boards it seems like everybody loves to Sean May bash.

First thing first...Sean May isn\'t fat. He\'s big-boned!!! :laugh:

But seriously, he\'s not as overweight as you all make him out to be. I remember reading a post the other night about how May would suffer in a run \'n gun style of offense like Phoenix, but i\'d like to remind you that UNC ran the definition of the run \'n gun style offense may\'s junior year. He was praised by ole Roy for being able to get up and down the floor with the likes of felton, mccants, manuel, m. williams, and j. manuel. He was never loafing down the floor and more times than not he would be right in the front with those guys getting the down the court pass for a slam dunk. And once again, I know its not college ball anymore in the NBA, but to say that he can\'t run at all is a mistake. He didn\'t get Syracuse Regional Tournament MVP, Final 4 MVP, and Championship MVP for being a big tub of lard that couldn\'t walk up and down the floor without taking a nap and resting.

May was also a standout at the summer camps last year before the season started and he was getting regular playing time on a daily basis. Once again, I know it wasn\'t against NBA talent...but he still did better than Felton did.

I, for one, was glad when the Bobcats chose May last year with their second pick--mainly because it put my two favorite heels on the same team, but also I feel as if Sean May will prove to be a big asset to the team in the future. Maybe not the starting PF that puts up 20 points per night...but maybe those badly needed rebounds needed during clutch time. (ie. just like mourning did last night in game 6 of the playoffs)

One last thing I\'ll mention before I get flamed for being a sean may \"advocate\". Remember every single time he went up against \"The Landlord\" (Shelden Williams?) He dominated him. Especially the 26 pts 24 reb. night @ duke. He was amazing that game--and I feel as if that might translate to the NBA within a couple of years.

Give him time people...give him time. I\'d take my boy, Sean May over Gerald Green anyday. (And I have nothing against Gerald Green what-so-ever, either!)

I still think it was a bad pick Felton is a steal at 5 we could have got Fatty Williams:sick:, May has to step his game up this season I see Alan Anderson being a starter before May unless he can return healthy and ready to dominate.

Advocate4SeanMay, Welcome to the board:) ;) :) :P
I agree with you that May CAN be a productive NBA player, and that he excelled in an uptempo offense with the Tarheels. But somewhere between getting drafted by the Bobcats and the end of last season, he rediscovered the Burger King Double Whopper with cheese. :P
If he can just get down to 260 and stay there he will be a Hell of a player.

Once again, Welcome to the Board... And that was a great first post.:)

1st im a heels fan two, and also a cats fan.
But the thing about May is he has to decide if he wants to eat or play ball.At the ganes last year a lot of his team mates called him rerun . First year thing i think.With the heels you have fat May ,hurt May, Roy comes in May loses weight and becomes national champ.
Facts are weight up, Mays body cant handle it.Weight down and in top shape. He might just be able to take that pf spot from ok50. But he cant come in over 260 and expect to produce.Same thing for ok50 he cant handle the extra weight either. See what 20lbs did to him at the start of last season.He lost the 20 and the rebounds came back be four he got hurt.
But have heard MAY has lost a lot of weight got a nutrinist and is ready 2 go now. so we all might see the good MAY next year

Haha, thanks for the welcome guys. I\'ve sort of been out of the loop with keeping up with my boy over the past few months...but is he all ready to go for this upcoming season? and exactly how \"fat\" has mr. may gotten? As long as he doesn\'t look like his old high school days, he\'ll be fine.

In all seriousness, its easy to bash him because of his weight, and I\'m just as guilty as anybody else in the bashing if not moreso. BUT, if he ever gets his body in the right shape, he could be a solid player and a real benefit to the team. Hes got the footwork, strength and rebounding to do some damage inside... and it sounds far fetched, but maybe he could develop into the Bobcats \'Enforcer\', the guy who\'ll go out on the court and put somebody on their ass if need be.

That was the picture I was going to post, but I couldn\'t figure out how to do it! But yeah, he can and HE WILL become a big part of the team. (no pun intended ;) )

He\'s got the softest hands i\'ve ever seen on a post player. I remember watching him at UNC his last year and being amazed how he could pull a ball back into the palm of his hand, with his fingertips, while it was going out-of-bounds. He was truly amazing to watch. I missed not getting to see him play last year. EVERY bobcats game shoud be televised on TBS!!!

Hopefully we\'ll get a few more games on TBS/TNT than we did last season ( Anything is better than Zero :P )

This weekend I was flipping channels and ran across some show on Fox Sports South. They were doing a special on Marvin Williams and what he was doing this summer. In that special they briefly showed sean may, and it looks like his weight is down slightly from the end of the season, but I don\'t think that its anywhere near the 260 that it needs to be yet.

I spoke to a friend of mine tonight who had an opportunity to work out with some of the Bobcats, he said that Rerun had dropped some of the weight, but not as much as he needs to, And he also says that May doesn\'t have the drive to be a star in the NBA. He says that May\'s dream was always to make it in the NBA (unlike some other players whos dream is to be a star in the NBA), so hes currently living his dream, In his mind theres no need for him to work hard and sacrifice to improve. Something else odd that he said was that May wouldn\'t survive on a team other than Charlotte. Maybe they\'re babying him here.
