[QUOTE="Skeptic, post: 154111, member: 2175"] Well, my choice of words may be bad, but what I was trying to say, badly, obviously, was that size is often a determinate of playing in basketball as well as football. The guy was a big basketball player, and it did not translate to football. And yes, a lot of big basketball players are not necessarily athletes. It does not follow that playing the sport requires what you are I or most anybody would consider an "athlete". Yep, I have played more than a bit in three sports. In all three we had players with very limited skills and at least a couple with two or three left feet. But they could play that particular position in that particular sport, though none other. In high school a memorable center with maybe a three inch leap. Lord. Except he was 6-6, about 230, and nobody moved him, ever. An athlete? No. As for a starting ACC basketball player, nope. Don't watch basketball at all. Do remember a fellow named Warren Martin who played for UNC. Seven foot or so. Started. An athlete? Laughable. [/QUOTE]
