Jared Sullinger responds to fans who keep telling him to lose weight

Jared Sullinger is one of the portliest players in the NBA, a rebound machine who knows how to throw his weight around. 

But being a heavy professional basketball player isn't all great. It prevents Sullinger from going as many minutes as the Boston Celtics would like to play him, and on defense he's habitually a beat slow guarding quicker players in space. 

His weight has been an issue for quite some time, so much so that general manager Danny Ainge made a point to criticize it publicly. 

Well, Sullinger has had enough.

Telling fans to "wait and see" is all well and good now, but it won't mean much if he isn't noticeably lighter in September. Wait and see they will, indeed.
