Lionel Hollins knew he needed to lose some weight, and he knew exactly where he could go for help.
The Nets coach sent a letter to Rachael Ray, asking the talk show host — whose show Hollins watches on a regular basis — for help trying to get back in shape. And, after appearing on the show in July to announce he was going on a diet, Hollins appeared again last week to give an update on his progress.
It was so successful — Hollins went from 240 down to 218 — that he’s now going to continue on the diet to try to lose at least another 10 pounds over the next few weeks.
