So is this worse than KD only being able to get up 1 rep of 185 on the bench at the NBA combine?
Yes. Easily

This vs KD not being able to bench 185 is a pointless argument without context. It is unlikely either guy was just sitting resting waiting to get on the bar/bench as far as I know they move from workout to workout at a decent pace so you could easily be able to complete a pull up/press at full strength but after fatigue you might not be able to.

I was going to say even I can do a pull-up. But then I thought about it and no I probably can't. I was thinking of a chin-up.
Pull-ups are different from chin-ups. No big deal. He isn't expected to be a fighter anyways.

That's incredible. I know nothing about hockey but I'd think a decent slapshot would require at least some upper body strength. 0 pull ups? Do aspiring pro hockey players generally not work out at all? I would think just being out on the rink constantly playing a contact sport would give you average strength unless you were just a completely inept athlete.

Even I can do pull-ups and lost a tooth to a mail box once - but can't skate for sh#t.

If he can skate, pass, shoot and handle the puck who cares if he can do a pull up? KD is super weak and he is pretty good at basketball, this kid could be the same way in hockey.
