People saying that other athletes can easily go into baseball are crazy. It's a totally different skill set. Reflexes and hand-eye coordination are so important in baseball and either you got it or you don't. Likewise going into Basketball is tough because you need to be coordinated (to shoot/dribble), athletic AND tall. Consider Randy Moss, one of the most talented WR's ever. I don't know if he could have made it to the NBA because not only would his skills be questionable (Can he dribble or shoot? Who knows.) but he's actually undersized for a shooting guard. The easiest transition is probably NBA players to football. From a physical standpoint, it's not a stretch for the top NBA athletes to transition into being WR's, TE's, DB's, and S.
You are an uninformed idiot. My daughter played for years, and those girls are more athletic than most any other female. Here's an excerpt from a Nebraska University's player profile. This girl went to the same high school as my daughter: Shattered Nebraska’s Performance Index Record in fall testing with a score of 2,989, breaking the previous mark by over 300 points (Dani Busboom, 2628 in 2006), as she established program bests in both vertical jump (30.5 inches) and step approach (33.5 inches) • Is the only Husker in the top-five list in all four performance index tests (10-yard dash, pro agility, vertical jump and step approach)
Jordon was too tall. his Strike Zone was a big large from what I understand He would have been hell in Volley ball! Rocket River
Watch Leonel Marshall. This guy could have been a standout in the high jump or the long jump. <object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/QoKhEiAHfYs&hl=en_US&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/QoKhEiAHfYs&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object>
I really don't think that's the reason why he struggled. His arms were more than long enough to provide adequate plate coverage.
I'm not disagreeing with you that volleyball is a sport that requires some athleticism, but your argument is extremely flawed. Just because there are some great athletes who participate in the activity does not mean that it requires great athleticism. For example, if half the players in the NBA became world class checkers players, that doesn't mean that all of a sudden playing checkers requires world class athleticism.
