Basketball players are good athletically at one thing - basketball. Have any of you clowns ever played with real players? I use to play at a gym on the UT campus and have played ball with a lot of college, semi pro, and a few nba players too.
They are fast and tall. I’m 6’1” and 225lb and could easily manhandle them. All except for Dexter Pitman who is a big specimen. I’m not saying I could outplay them, I’m talking PHYSICALLY they are not strong and very light and fall down if you touch them. Being 6’8” weighing 215lb doesn’t make for a physical monster. Terrible center of gravity. There are excptions like Lebron but the tv makes these guys out to be more than what they are.
Of course your average American male is a pussy and in awe of any pro athlete on tv. They are good at what they do but not all-around athletes for most of them.
being the smallest brother only makes him the "least athletic" in the context of football. and maybe wrestling (in arthur's case).Jon Jones is the least athletic of the 3 Jones brothers. He is also the sickest and most psychopathic. He likes to hurt people. It takes a special type of person to fight someone that hasn't done anything at all to piss you off or hurt you or your family.
Not only that but in fighting, it's only yourself, there is no team or anyone to dish the ball to if you're having a bad "game" or off night.
It's all in the mentality, being a prizefighter kind of have to be a sicko. So no, athletic ability isn't all you need, though it does help.
Kind of like being a pornstar. You have to fuckin someone you may not like or be attracted to.
Comparing pornstars to models. Sure, models are physically more attractive and get payed a lot more, but they'd never be able to fuck like Pornstars do, so the comparison is pointless.
