I'd put any basketball player against any rugby player and bet on the rugby player every time~

In random competitions of athletics? Then you are an idiot.

So what track stars are in the NBA now?

by **Zanchief** » Mon May 08, 2006 2:08 pm

Oliver Miller.

Would you like to know how many Olympians there are currently playing basketball?

The list is about 100 players long.

Fear the level of athleticism it takes to reach the NBA

He white stiff mormon who can STILL out jump most NFL players.

um, no, you are

sprinting
I'll take the rugby players

weight lifting
I'll take the rugby players

Swimming
I'll take the rugby players cause I'm betting most of those big black dudes can't swim

Shooting
Have to go with the NBA thugs

Boxing
After watching the slap fighting NBA do you even have to ask? Rugby all the way

pick an athletic event other than highjump/longjump and rugby players win hands down. maybe shotput too, cause that's all shaq does from the free throw line

Just straight out wrong, without a doubt.

Also dead wrong.

You're right here~

This isn't really an event, but Australia is populated by criminals.

Probably, although I don't know a single rugby player that would want go up against Artest.

Sure, let's eliminate all events that have to do with athleticism. Then Rugby players win, np.

you honestly think that ball players can outrun rugby players? you've got to be kidding me~

by **vonkaar** » Mon May 08, 2006 3:24 pm

Almost all Rugby players I've seen are short squatty guys... almost none are known for their speed over their strength. NFL wide receivers and corners and such would definitely outrun the average NBA guard but not rugby.

This is a stupid fucking argument btw. Everyone knows the real athletes are Canadian shufflers (if that's even the correct term).

you're thinking of the guys in the pack

the centers/fullback/wingers have nfl type speed

Apples and Oranges Apples and Oranges. Kind of a pointless argument really, there isnt proof one way or the other that would be definative. Unless they have a all sport track/obsticle coarse where sports go against sports in athletics you cant say one over the other.

by **Tikker** » Mon May 08, 2006 4:13 pm

sure you can, it's the internet!

by **Tuggan** » Mon May 08, 2006 4:26 pm

well in that case, we all know hockey players are the most athletic... because hockey is my favorite sport.

by **Tadpole** » Mon May 08, 2006 5:16 pm

Yeah right....baseball players all the way. We use steroids.
