12. Kobe

[Im Still Ballin]

Damn

Kobe looking like a prime Ethiopian marathon runner

Someone get this kid some mass

STAT! :lol :roll: :lol

[WolfGang]

If I could take any of these Guy's build, it would be Wade. Then Lebron, then Kobe...just not this version. I'm sure Kobe has been in better shape than that.

[Prime_Shaq]

Kobe has always been towards the leaner physique.

[RoundMoundOfReb]

LeBron James.

[Run&Gun=Fun]

Where's the Kobe pic? Isn't that ibaka there?

Lebron looks like he's not real

[feyki]

Jordan . Other three had needless mass .

Can bodybuilders play in the NBA ?

[Velocirap31]

Can bodybuilders play in the NBA ?

They are far from being bodybuilders.

Get the point .

[Im Still Ballin]

Jordan . Other three had needless mass .
You do realize Jordan came back after his first retirement fresh off the good shit, hitting the iron with Timmy Grover (No what I'm saying Scuzzy ;) )

Professional elite athletes like Dwyane and LeBron don't have "Needless mass"

You just don't understand athletics and what goes into a top level athlete

I'll put it in easy to understand context for you

Muscle = Good... Not surprising all olympic sprinters are jacked to the rafters

The scenario of excessive muscle almost never happens in athletics... You and most people who don't understand these things associate muscle with doped up bodybuilders, and that alone

[Im Still Ballin]

I'll give you the perfect sport that displays muscle and it's importance to athleticism

NFL

Those guys are some of the most powerful athletes on the planet... Some of the most explosive too... Huge ass squat/bench/deadlifts, huge ass verticals and lightning quick 40's

LeBron's so athletic not only due to genetics, but he is also in impeccable shape... He gets every ounce out of himself... Not surprising he's so visible muscular and big

[nathanjizzle]

that lebron package! ban lebrons package until we find out what the hell is going on!

[Im Still Ballin]

And if you want me to break it down as bluntly as possible

Muscle and strength are correlated with eachother

Most sports it comes down to the Power To Weight Ratio

Power = Strength and speed

You NEED the strength to maximize power output... No way around this... Thus due to the muscle-strength correlation, muscles are of vast importance

As far as the power to weight ratio, it takes a significance amount of muscle to start to become unnecessary and detrimental to the power-weight ratio

And no, none of the guys posted are close to having "useless mass"

This has always been an under discussed topic

Jordan's "retirement" growth

Goes to the MLB during a certain "era"

Trains with Frank Thomas

Comes back 25 lbs heavier

Cmon Michael :facepalm

[scuzzy]

Yeah ISB is spot on

There's no such thing as needless mass as a pro

You play 82+ games

Every fiber has a purpose, a reason

Athletes also don't train like BB's

Most of all their conditioning targets fast twitch muscle

McGuire, Bonds n Sosa's spontanious "needless" muscle had the world actually watching baseball again

[HylianNightmare]

Kobe

[LikeABosh]

Wade has the best physique if you're judging them as if they're bodybuilders. Basketball wise Lebron has the best physique.

[3ball]

.

Jordan weighed 216 lbs:

https://www.google.com/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&ion=1&espv=2&ie=UTF-8#q=michael+jordan+weight


Iggy weighed 207 lbs:

https://www.google.com/search?q=igoudala&oq=igoudala&aqs=chrome..69i57j0j69i59j0l3.1259j0j4&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8#q=igoudala+weight



Since Iggy and Jordan are approximately the same height and weight, Jordan would win FMVP by locking down Lebron just like Iggy did in 2015 (when he still had some young legs left), while scoring the same 5-9 ppg above his average that Lebron allowed Iggy and Kawhi.. Can you imagine Jordan scoring 5-9 ppg above his average?... yikes

This had nothing to do with this thread and was a repost of something you've said literally dozens of times already.

:oldlol:

Jordan's physique is the best because he has the biggest bone structure at his size.

His bone structure is the biggest among 6'6" players, whereas Lebron's is not.

Jordan's shoulders are the broadest, his arms the longest, and his hands the biggest for someone 6'6"... Lebron can't say the same for 6'8" players.

Give Jordan today's "advanced training" and he would look pretty ridiculous - not that he'd want to - bulky frames in basketball make it harder to slide between defenders and have great jumpshot.. Btw, those pictures were taken in 1988, which is before Jordan bulked up in 1991.

Lebald would stiff arm his head off :lol

[plowking]

In what way are they not efficient? :oldlol:
These are both guys that were the best at their sport at one time, and completely dominated their field athletically. Wade will go down as one of the most agile and quickest players ever to play the game, while Bron will be remembered as the most athletic player ever. And they aren't efficient? :oldlol:
Do you know what you're talking about? :oldlol:

These guys are 6'4 and 6'8, not 6 foot flat like Ronaldo. Not to mention they have longer limbs/wingspans, so even more weight to be distributed.

[SpanishACB]

Lebald would stiff arm his head off :lol

And get suspended.

Meanwhile this guy has a quicker first step, a quicker sprint, is faster on the long run, has more stamina and even has a higher vertical.

compare Wade's body to that in the picture when he was actually ball dominant and slash after slash

come on now, lol

that shitty lower train XD

they have street juice bodies, usless for anything other than showing up to teenagers. They could be so much more dominant if they actually trainned

lol at Ronaldo having more stamina and a higher vertical. Sprint speed is debatable too.
Quicker first step? You'd hope so. He is 85lbs lighter and far smaller.

[SpanishACB]

lol at Ronaldo having more stamina

No they don't have street juice bodies. You really don't have a clue what you're talking about. LeBron is the king of functional movements and strength. If you've ever watched any of his videos or documentaries you'd see how much time this guy spends on his core, and particularly his hip mobility and strength. His hip routine is probably the main reason this guy does not get injured.

Seriously... You don't have a clue. Funny you brought up Ronaldo, since most football fans have said he has gotten too big, and needed to tone it down with the weights. :oldlol:

Muscle isn't a bad thing. You don't have a clue what you're talking about if you think it is, and you clearly fall into that bracket. Acting as if they are some puffy bodybuilders or some shit. :oldlol:
They're both 5-8% bodyfat, and absolutely dominating their competition athletically. 40 inch verticals, insane speed, and both some of the most powerful players to ever play their positions.

[plowking]

you're out of your depth, move along :facepalm

That on top of trying to tell people Lebron has more stamina and sprinting speed than a football player.

Lebron beats people with his shoulders, not first step, not quickness, he just crashes into people and makes space with his width.

he probably has more... that one try didn't look that great and he could probably do better

still great for an athlete who can't afford to pack as much muscle as basketball players because of the stamina

We understand bro

And that was a running vertical... LMAO. 30 inch poverty running vert.

LeBron clowns this guy in every regard athletically. Not. Even. Close.

Soccer is more about skills than athleticism

Ronaldo is very skilled... Probably an above average athletic specimen

But not elite

[feyki]

Soccer is more about skills than athleticism

Yep , football is more about skills and much more team oriented sport .

Also , Football players don't need vertical , their business on the ground .

Running comparison could be much more fair than vertical .

[Im Still Ballin]

What I see in Ronaldo's spectacular headers is not so much the jump, but the timing

[nathanjizzle]

muscle density is important. if you have less muscle density, then you are retaining water in your muscle fibers that dont correlate weight to actual strength.

[Fazotronic]

obvisouly lebron is more athletic esp. considering the size of lebron.
athletism is a much bigger factor in basketball.
however to think they are even close in terms of stamina compared to someone like ronaldo is beyond retarded. like wow :hammerhead: :hammerhead: :hammerhead:

[scuzzy]

They absolutely need vertical

Headers off corner kicks?

Nearly all their injuries come from colliding in the air for the ball

[Overdrive]

Most injuries come from late sliding tackles...

Heading is more about timing . Klose was one of the greatest at that point , and he had not great vertical .

That's not Jordan's prime physique, which was probably 1996-1997. That pic was from around 1990-1991. So if you mean their physiques in their playing prime, yes it counts. But if you meant the best physiques of their careers a pic post-baseball would be better.
