NBA fans can’t get enough of a bunch of AI-generated photos which have gone viral this week as they show what certain players would look like if they were fat.

In the photos below, you could see Steph Curry, LeBron James, Nikola Jokic, Harden, Anthony Davis, Zion Williamson, Jayson Tatum, and Draymond Green reimagined as corpulent NBA stars.
The reactions, some of which you could see below, are priceless…
