I’m sure most agree his jumping was world class and he was in good shape. I was also thinking about his great moves and how incredible quickness was required, reminding me of general athletic quickness I’ve seen in some good 100m sprinters.
I say yes.
Holy crap, are you dumb. Being fast on a basketball court has absolutely nothing do do with 100m sprinting. And exactly how do his "great moves" cross over to sprinting? Creative dunking and dribbling and being able to move past an opposing player means you can sprint 100m at elite level? Are you on drugs?
Chinese ping pong players are very quick and have great "moves" too.
I’m going to keep bumping this thread in the future with past letsrun threads of runners discussing basketball, who are actually remotely knowledgeable, intelligent and respectful. Mr. “idiot alert: you yourself betray a dearth of quantitative, spatial and visual reasoning as well as athletic understanding.
