If you know this guy only as an NBA player, you may not realize how athletic he was early in his career.

I don't know how many of you watch collegiate volleyball, the NCAA champions Wisconsin had both a 6'8" (Rettke, national player of the year) and a 6'9" freshman (Smrek, who came into her own during the end of the season, and was the Player of the Tournament, including hitting 20-1-27 in the semi-final game). The not only had some standing blocks but the fact that those were threatening made the opponents hit from back court and hit volleys. It just messes with the attackers heads.

I saw this team multiple times last season. Big Ten Network is one of my favorite channels on a treadmill.

You'll be hard pressed to find a more spectacular blocked shot than this. 😲

No argument here at all. That's amazing. I am reminded of an aging Wilt showing off his absurd athleticism:

Yesterday the NBA's Facebook page posted this throwback from the 2005 All-Star Slam Dunk contest: https://www.facebook.com/watch?v=642839813620672 . It's a public page, so you don't need a Facebook account to view it.
It shows Steve Nash using his soccer skill to deliver an assist to Amar'e Stoudemire on his dunk.

When the Refrigerator scored his Super Bowl touchdown, it was much less about skill than pure mass (6'2, 335).
Nate Newton was Nate Newton, first and foremost, because he was 350+ pounds.

On the other hand, dudes like Lawrence Taylor were terrors because they had size AND athleticism. When I watched Giants games in the mid-to-late 80s, I just focused on LT every time the other team snapped the ball.Last edited by Atticus; 01-13-2022, 01:39 AM.
