Lionel Hollins must look great.
The Nets coach weighed in at 240 pounds last season, but says he has 22 pounds this offseason, through the help of one of his favorite television personalities, Rachael Ray. Hollins sent a letter to Ray at the start of the summer asking for help on a weight-loss program and actually appeared on her show around then.
Since, he has been dieting and working out hard. Here's more from Tim Bontemps of the New York Post:

“Before I was out of [coaching for the 2013-14 season], I was about 225,” Hollins said last week after taping the show, which will air in New York Friday at 10 a.m. on Channel 7. “And then I ballooned up doing nothing. So I got the letter to her.”
Hollins worked with Dr. Ian Smith on his “shred” diet, which he said took some time to adjust to. “It was hard in the beginning, trying to switch,” he said. “You’re trying to eat multiple times a day … I was eating seven times a day.”
But now Hollins will be going on the “super shred” diet after Smith challenged him to lose at least another 10 pounds — getting him close to his playing weight of 205.
Hollins is turning himself into a real catch. Slim, very little gray hair, funny, good job. What more could anyone want?
