    I know we aren't the best, but i think a valid argument can be made. Cato has to be one of the most athletic centers this year and francis is one of the most athletic point gaurds. Shandon and cuttino hold their own on most nights. Carlos is as athletic as any 3 in the league (excluding KG).

    Who could be more athletic ? Maybe the knicks with spree, allan, kurt thomas, et. al. I don't think portland is, although they are certainly deeper.

    Yeah if we had the olympics for the NBA teams we would win a medal in every event...except basbetball!

    Seriously we are athletic, just not a very good team, yet.

    Agreed. We are a very athletic team that needs to learn how to play together. Unfortunately, that could take a while.

    that's funny chuckie!

    i wouldn't argue with that gr8-1. that fastbreak alley-oop from Walt to Cato over Robinson's outstreched hands was preeeeety athletic.

    On defense though, Cato has not shown me he knows how to use his athleticism. Jumping at every headfake in hopes of a getting that monster block for Sportscenter, will result in the smart players making a fool of your athleticism.
