Is that really you?? wrote:
I never followed Eaton before, but to the guy pointing out that because he never made it in a major sport makes him not a great athlete is ridiculous. Are you telling me Eddy Curry is more athletic than this Eaton dude or whatever his name is?
Is that seriously the logic you're going with? Almost as dumb as that guy who brought up Warren Buffett. You can make the NBA without being amazingly athletic, but if you are amazingly athletic you would at least take a shot at being a basketball or football star. If Eaton was as amazing of an athlete as everyone here thinks he surely would have played basketball/football at a younger age. And if he excelled in that, he would have obviously stayed with that over track. We don't know how Lebron would be at the decathlon because only an idiot would pursue that over the NBA given the option.
