Desmond Bane had a quiet year. Playing for the Memphis Grizzlies, things did not turn out the way they had intended to. With the Grizzlies finishing 8th in the Western Conference, they had a 48-34 win-loss record. However, Bane, on the other hand, looked quite decent on the court. Putting up a brave show, Bane averaged 19.2 points, 6.1 rebounds, and 5.3 assists in 69 games. Now, with a fresh season coming up, Bane will be hoping to better his stats. But before that, he got all the limelight for a very different reason.
In a recently viral moment, a picture of Bane was uploaded on the internet. And right at first glance, things seemed a bit off. Bane could be seen wearing a black tank top. While his muscular built physique was on full display, fans noticed something odd. The proportions of his muscles looked out of sorts. And the fans could not stop discussing the same.

Now then, keeping aside the viral picture, Bane underwent a significant career change. In recent news, Bane was traded by the Grizzlies to the Orlando Magic. And while Bane will be looking to make a more powerful impact, the fans seemed more interested in his physique.
