    Is that your only reason, there, Albert Einstein? :rolleyes: 'Cuz they can jump so high? REALLY? All of them can?

    Dude, lots of other sports have "better athletes." You can make a case for lots of other sports.

    Being serious for a moment, would you say Dan O'Brien is one of the greatest athletes since he can win the decathlon?

    I think I once read somewhere that a jumpshot uses more muscles than any other sporting move. Shot put and discus were a close second/third.

    Maybe...


    but I mostly disagree.

    What about things, like endurance, physical toughness, swimming, flexibility, brute strength, leg and low back strength, dexterity, ingenuity, and etc?

    Well, an argument could be made that basketball incorporates all of those except swimming.

    No, no... you're wrong. The BEST athletes can only jump high with a basketball in their hands. :rolleyes:
