re: Bronny James- Making the leap year 2

You are referring to skill my friend

Athleticism doesn’t change

Bronny is in part athletic because lebron roided him the back half of HS (also why he had heart issues imo)

In any case elite athlete bronny is now 4-12 in summer league while they're managing his mins so he doesn't look as bad

I 100% get what you are saying.

Again, i didn't say he wasn't athletic.

I guess what i'm saying is when i say someone is an elite athlete, referring to basketball, i mean someone who is able to use that athleticism on the court in a meaningful way. Like I said, there are thousands of guys who can run fast and jump high, but not many can still use that athleticism on the basketball court.
You see Westbrook, Rose, Wall, and Fox get rebounds and fly down the court and finish at the rim with speed and jumping ability. That wasn't some finesse skill, they just are faster and can jump higher than most people, even though the combine results say others should be better or equal to them at that.
I'll say this again, two guys of equal measurement can both have 40" verticals yet look completely different on the court in regards to their jumping ability. Some people have to jump off two feet to reach their max vertical, some can do it off one foot, some can jump off either foot, and some aren't good leapers off one foot like they are off two. some people are quick to jump high while others need a running start to load up to jump high. Zion's second jump is unreal. It's not normal to be able to come down and immediately jump back up as high as he does. All of that makes a big difference on a basketball court. There's a lot more to jumping on a basketball court than what the vertical leap test says.

So if the decathlon winner plays golf he all of a sudden isn’t an elite athlete? Some of y’all are dense as shite

Their is athleticism and then there is skill in sports

Some people will ignore all the unbiased metrics and put all their faith in the "eyeball test" instead. Despite it being proven over and over again that human memory is imperfect.

Unbiased metrics, find the last college guard that was drafted who averaged less than 5 points per game in their last collegiate season.

It seems like yall are the ones being dense and can't figure out that there are athletes and athletes that actually can use it in the sport they play.

I understand that just fine

It doesn’t make you any less athletic. There are plenty of better athletes that have less success in sports because they don’t have the skills. This isn’t exactly a ground breaking thought

Jordan Jefferson is far more athletic than tom Brady. Does that blow your mind?
