Yes.. You can't play basketball without conditioning. You also need good functional strength.

I'd say baseball players are the least athletic because baseball is a skill sport more than anything. Otherwise you wouldn't have fat mexicans like Manny Ramirez being one of the best in the sport.

Placement of the calves and glutes determine a good jumper! W/o sounding racist most afro-americans have high calves and high glutes.

Perhaps not a bodybuilder, but Powerlifters and Olympic lifters are pretty fair dunkist. Shane Hammon and big Paul Anderson were able to, quite a few others too.

Football players are the most athletic.

Not that Euro Football but the American sport.

Mark Henry has done it, before. I remember seeing a video of him, doing that on TV (I think it was on the Oprah Winfrey show).

As for bodybuilders, Phil Heath played college basketball in Colorado. He may be able to dunk. And, Joel Stubbs played ball, too (which is how he wrecked his knees).

NBA players have to be the most athletic.  When you say "football players", you're grouping the offensive linemen who do nothing but shove and fight and run 3 years, to the wide receivers who run 50-yard routes over and over.   Too much variance.

With the NBA, you're exposed and you have to run the court and play O and D.

Manny isn't fat or Mexican. This picture was taken recently.

The MLB generates Billions, hence the players getting monster salaries, since they are the draw for the fans. The NBA is getting there.

Your right, but your forgeting hockey.


Imo:

1a.) Basketball 1b.) Hockey
Football (American) I put it ahead of soccer, because of the brutal nature of the game.
Football (Euro)
Motocross/Supercross
Rugby
Baseball

Professional Basketball players are the most athletic of any major sport.

I agree, he works out frequently, and is in great shape. Manny can be seen at the Ritz frequently (he lives there) , and if you saw him in a t shirt and shorts, you would know he spent time in the gym instantly.

Not really. Maybe by bb standards, but to the average Joe, he is in Good shape. Don't let the baggy clothes fool you.
