again, how can someone like him start threads, but i can't.

its says athletes, not players

and its olajuwon, not olajuwan. seriously, your not even a rockets fan. smh

do you know what athletic means? have you seen how lebron, gerald wallace, dh12 are built. they are freaks of nature, strong as $#!t, can jump high as hell, can do things regular players cant.

olajuwon just had those soccer feat, and his bbiq was high. that's not athleticism.

now tell me, why should tmac be on this list but not kobe, or wade? they were all built with about the same body.

The fallacy of your argument expounds why you are still a rook. Um, athleticism does not mean how built you are, have you seen Ron Artest? He's not that athletic, but built like a tank. You sir, receive an epic fail while trying to call out a fellow Rockets fan. Aaaand, he spelled Olajuwon correctly...playa

watch the video of swight training with hakeem, he looks a tiny bit taller to me, but it's pretty negligible either way.

yeah you lose athleticism as you get taller, what that means though is...you're less athletic.......so in a comparison of athleticism, it means....

Yeah but Tmac isn't less athletic than Kobe even if he's taller. If you assume that Tmac and Wade/Kobe are equally athletic,but Tmac happens to be taller, then doesn't it mean Tmac is actually more athletic?

Hakeem's like 45 years old now. I'm sure some his height was lost due to old age and stuff.

If T-mac and Wade/Kobe are equally athletic, regardless of height, guess what...they're equally athletic

I'm not even sure why anyone would think Wade is all that athletic, he doesn't blow by people, he gets 1 step (which is all you need, and also leads to so many of the fouls he gets), his ninja fouls (there's a great one he did last year on ray allen near the buzzer of the playoffs to put miami up), etc, and Kobe, well when he was younger, maybe, but he's a pure basketballer, i don't really see a super athlete in there, whereas there are players in the nba that could easily have been olympians.

and again ill state this.

height in the ranges of this group is not an athletic advantage, it's a basketball advantage, this thread/page is talking about athletes, not basketballers.

T-Mac was not as athletic as Stevie Francis. That guy at 6-3 if not shorter could make unbelievable putback jams, alley-oops, dunks on 7footers, blocking shots into the backboard... he was a FREAK. That dunk on Shawn Bradley by Mcgrady is nothing... it wasn't even contested Shawn just ducked for cover!
