New York Knicks point guard Raymond Felton has reportedly 'lost 15 pounds of fat' in preparation for the new NBA season.

The 29-year-old enjoyed an impressive season for the Knicks last year after returning to his former side, and the New York Post reports that the loss of weight has given Felton more confidence.

"I feel I'm back to my old self when I was here the first time," Felton revealed.

"The way I'm moving on the court, giving me extra confidence in myself."

The Knicks begin their season against the Milwaukee Bucks on October 30.
