Dallas Mavericks assistant coach Melvin Hunt lost the most pounds and won the coaches’ weight-loss challenge.
Hunt lost 26 pounds overall to take the accompanying bonus money. But because all five participants lost at least 15 pounds, they were able to cash in with the big prize, given to them by a few of the players who chipped in all the money.
“It was tough, but it was easier because we all were committed to it,” Hunt said. “By ourselves I don’t think any of us would have been up for the challenge.”
The five participants also included assistant coach Darrell Armstrong, development coach assistant God Shammgod, head video coordinator Mike Shedd, and director of player development Mike Procopio.
