re: Tyrus Thomas is the most Athletic human I’ve ever seen.

He wasn't even the most athletic guy on the final four team

I'd take Ben Voogd over Tyrus Thomas in terms of athleticism

My cousin Vinny could dodge and dart through the police and man was he fast. Is this the type of indefensible posts we see during the holiday doldrums? Purely subjective without a point.

If you're very young, and haven't experienced much life, yes, he's pretty athletic.

Dude rode a skateboard from class to practice and back

Freaking loved that guy

crushed sixers with the fans after the games. Such a Chad

Thomas Dunson

Odell Beckham wasn’t half bad either

Anybody remember a guy named David Thompson ?

You mean he could jump high.

Highly skilled and athlete are two different things. Speed, twitch, jumping and body control are athletic ability….certainly many times advanced through training, but also a product of natural ability.

The same height advantage favors basketball players that being short favors gymnasts

again, we have you many examples of specifically not tall basketball players and athletes that do not dominate based on size. Iverson, mookie Betts, don't make me list them again.

you cant find an elite 30 year old women gymnast who is 5'7 135 pounds.

and here is the key: even if she is an incredible athlete, she cannot compete with the Chinese 14 year old.

so one more time, compare these two:

1. incredible 28 year old woman athlete of normal human size

2. 15 year old Chinese girl that weight 88 pounds

which are you more likely to see in the Olympics?


understand?

these same size restrictions do not apply to the athletes we mentioned. there are players in the NBA that are almost normal sized. same with the NFL. tyrann Mathieu is a normal sized person. he is a far better athlete and would destroy these gymnasts at everything except flipping around.

altho if the honey badger started in gymnastics at age 4 I suspect he would crush them at at that too, having incredible power to weight ratio and coordination himself.
