Title: who are the best athletes in all of sports?
Post by: dj181 on February 13, 2017, 04:18:36 AM
I'd have to go with NFL backs

those dudes are strong, fast, agile, and fit

basketball players are second but they don't need to have so much strength and power like NFL backs, but they certainly are fitter

Im not sure ive seen better all around athletes than Jordan or Lebron, Jordan in particular.Cat like reflexes, 48inch vertical, immense full court and half court speed, superb lateral speed, explosive from just a standstill or hop step,a cardio engine that just didnt stop, lightning first step,huge hands etc.

The most athletic are elite olympic weightlifters, as moving under the bar in the snatch is the fastest hip movement in sports, and the clean develops the most hip and leg power in all of sports. They have very high vertical jumps and fast sprints due to immense power to weight ratio. These attributes can be translated into other sports by practicing to develop the specific skills. Many athletes from other sports utilize power cleans in training etc to increase athleticism.







Yes very good choice

Still say all round ability elite gymnasts can't be beat

The decathlon is such a niche sport, I doubt many prime genetic specimens go for that over far more lucrative options

In the US, the best athletes are probably found in the NFL ..the combination of size, speed & strength some of these players have is amazing.  In other countries, you'll probably find them on thesoccer field

The best argument I've ever herd was a baseball player. Take a baseball player and put him on a basketball court. Can he dribble and shoot a basket? yes. Put him on a football field. can he catch and throw a football? yes. Put any athlete in the batters box against a 100mph fastball. can they hit it?no

Nobody can argue the hardest thing to do in sports is to hit a baseball.

Best endurance I'd have to say tennis.  Anyone who's never played will realize how gassed they are after 5 minutes.

So wrong. You've clearly never played basketball.
It takes me 1 hour just to get warmed up and feeling good in tennis.
I can play soccer or tennis or anything for hours straight and basketball can exhaust my anus in 1 minute.
It's not even close.
I played tennis 2 weeks ago for 1.5 hours against my workmate who isn't that fit and has a bit of a gut and my heart rate probably stayed below 80 the whole time, even though I was running around chasing his shitty returns on the court next to us as it was the first time he ever played tennis. Btw, this was right after work + I was dehydrated + he was fine afterwards + he didn't get DOMS the next day...

Tennis is less tiring than "power walking". Let's see Federer (try) "power walk" for 5 hours straight..

That is more of a skill, akin to a dart player, snooker player, ten pin bowler etc etc.... You can do this while out of shape, its reactions and hand eye coordination.


To argue its harder to hit a ball than run 100m under 10 sec, or clean and jerk 100's of kg is ridiculous

It depends on the position. Quite a few skills positions come from a track background. You're saying football as a whole can't do what you're asking. I don't expect a football player to run a marathon nor do I expect a marathon runner to do a 300 yard shuttle on his 3rd run in under a min. You're giving your interpretation of what YOU think an athlete should be.
