I was having a discussion with my brother about this. He said it's basketball, I say tennis.
What say you?
What say you?
she was on roidsBasketball. The talent pool is much much much deeper for A+ level athletes. The Williams sister basically made career just being just much better athletes than their competition.
Not sure why the comparison between Shaq and Serena lol. You can make the case Serena is more dominant in her sport than Shaq was in his… what does shaq > Serena even mean? Both would destroy the other in their own respective sport lolShaq > Serena. Shaq is one of the best example of sheer physical dominance in entire sport. He had poor basketball skill, he only knew how to abuse his power and atlethicism. He was the best at it and you couldn't do anything about it. Teams had players who had only one job, just foul and bother Shaq phisically. But this doesn't mean that the basketball is all about athleticism and power.
In tennis you have four majors, bunch of masters and dozens of peanut tournaments. You have to play almost every week on different surfaces, in different part of the world, under different circumstances.

I don’t agree. Shaq was a dominant force no doubt and a rare talent, but Serena was literally one of a kind. There was not one other player in the sport’s history that was as physical or used their power and athleticism like she did. It’s why she is considered the GOAT or in the conversation.Shaq > Serena in terms of sheer physical dominance and abuse of athleticism in the sport. Just read what people write in this topic.
He wasn’t even the first lol. I’ll say it again, Serena is the only one ever in her entire sport. A true unicorn.Shaq did it in team sport, entire teams had problem to stop him.
You must not be a tennis follower. Name one other player that beat others by pure athleticism and overpowering everyone in the women’s game that is a GOAT candidate.She is not unicorn. She was stronger than average female tennis player and that's all. Teams were drafting/paying guys just to bother Shaq physically. And Shaq is not unicorn too.
Nice try smartass but I see no name listed. L response with deflections and lame attempts at an insultYou should start follow tennis, if you think that Serena was just about hitting the ball hard. It helped her a lot. Yes, she was strongest, but that doesn't make her unicorn.
And once again, it is much harder to be phisically dominant in team sport. Next time when you play tennis try to make more than three rallies. That will open you new horizons about tennis.
