Doltos posted:Ali must be the most talented athlete physical wise right? I mean Wilt's gotta be up there or tied with him but I can't think of a single person who displayed such insane motor and physical fitness. Wilt and Thorpe are 1 and 2 and it's by a pretty big margin

Drunk Nerds posted:The thing about Ali, for me, is that his % of time spent playing vs time spent looking amazing is like 10x as high as anyone else. Those are very solid points about Ali but here's the greatest thing about wilt he did whatever he wanted because he could. During his later years the newspapers would question if he could still be a dominant scorer then wilt would go on a tear for a game or two then go back to passing lol. Dude beat magic johnson in a pickup game in '79 (source magic johnson) and the nets wanted to sign him in the 80s. Really wished the wilt Ali fight would have happened. Also lmao at Russell having his number Russell played on an all star team with the only good coach at the time and wilt still averaged a 20 20. For Thorpe he pretty much was the most athletic guy during his era and dominated whatever sport he wanted to play at the highest level Ross Angeles posted:Russell Westbrook I'm waiting to see how his body holds up in his 30s from all the crashing to ground to make that claim E: gently caress it I'm going deeper into the wilt hole. Wilt won track and field competitions at Kansas without practicing and literally just showing up, was an all time volleyball player, played for the globetrotters, lifted weights at weight that makes the strongest do a double take, and had incredible endurance. All of that while being 7+ ft tall and around 270-300+ pounds and had a very poor strength and conditioning program Metapod fucked around with this message at 05:33 on Jun 5, 2016 |

Doltos posted:Jim Thorpe? Is there even footage of him playing? If there is it would be really bad quality but if you want I can look for some tomorrow when I get home. Thorpe won the pentathlon and decathlon in the 1912 Olympics and did so in dominate fashion (like won the decathlon by 800 points)
