Who is the IDEAL role model for professional sports?

wrong section?

 

It's a toss-up between Yao and Shane. However, Rodman, Barkley and Tiger are nipping at their heels--but only literally.

 

Shane Battier. Deke.

 

Whoever wins the most games?

You should have 1 criteria for judging athletes and it's how they perform on the field. These men are not Thomas Jefferson or Michelangelo, it's not like they are superior men with a range of talents, abilities, and virtues to admire. They are statistical freaks in singular narrow genetic ability that happens to coincide with a particular way we Americans like to watch a ball roll into a hole for entertainment purposes.

If basketball was never invented or if it were played on a 9 foot hoop, what use would Michael Jordan have been to this world? He'd probably be washing your car or bagging groceries.

I still dont understand what the big deal with Tiger Wood's. So he liked to nail white poon. If that's a crime lock up 95% of the NBA. The way I see it there's 3 possibilities for people to look at his infidelities:

1) if you loved him because he was a great golfer... guess what he's still a great golfer

2) if you loved him because he was a "great guy" what were you basing that on? that he is light skinned and talks like Obama? you never knew him all you knew was what you saw on TV. I guess if you're in this 2nd group you're disappointed but you're an idiot to begin with for idolizing a guy's personality when you didn't even know him

3) if you loved him because he was on commercials, was successful, widely admired and a black guy dominating white dudes in their own sports... and basically didn't know anything about golf (or care). and was using him as some sort of social or political surrogate then yeah I can see how once he isn't as popular or as admired then it hits you hard.

I for one still see the same dude who can win golf tournaments... the only time you should tell your kid to emulate an athlete is if he PLAYS the sport you're grooming your kid for. If that's the case and your kid is a golfer he should still try to be like Tiger

 

prehaps he's fishing for a battier response?

 

Hakeem Olajuwon

 

Tim Duncan.

 

Miguel i never got his last name... he is the sweeper near the lower bowl. he always has my section clean. even after i throw my empty beer cups and popcorn boxes

 

who wanna sex with?

 

Parents...

WTF.....

 

without forget about Jeff Bagwell and Graig Biggio

 

Peyton Manning hands down. He plays the game the right way, his dedication is superior to anyone I've ever seen, and most importantly he is a winner. Also if your into the whole doesn't cheat or do drugs thing he has that going for him as well. lol

 

Winning is all that matters to me.

 

Nolan Ryan would be my choice if we can go as far back as retired athletes.



If I had to choose an athlete from todays crowd it would have to be either Ladainian Tomlinson ( so want to see him get his super bowl ring before he retires). Or Adrian Peterson since I actually know Adrian well.He is from my hometown and he is such a good guy.

 

Hakeem Olajuwon

 

quite easily, David Robinson.
