It doesn't seem like his athleticism plays a big role in his offensive game, but he can defend and obviously get up.

How athletic would you say he is?

He's 6'10 and long with very elite body control. Name the dudes his size that can handle, score and playmake like him. It's gonna be a short list.

That was against the peak cHeat. People that arent that athletic can't do shit like that.

He somehow made a reverse 360 windmill in game not seem to require that much hops.

He looked eerily similar to prime Tmac in that facial on the Heat.

I think sometimes fools forget this guy snapped his ankle/leg whatever that freak injury was. They fused that shit back together. Too bad he had rotator cuff surgeries also... Still ballin.

A couple inches better than Westbrook's poverty vertical.

:roll:


He used to be pretty damn athtletic when he was younger with the Pacers before he snapped his leg in half. I never imagined him coming back as well as he has from that injury.

That is true. I was waiting on the Pacers team to take down the Heat, but it went sideways.

Pre injury, he had a lot of bounce and lateral quickness. Post injury, he's still very athletic but not elite. He's not that strong

Still a beast. Still serves up some poster dunks. I dunno about this year but he had a lot last year.

He has some great dunks, but to me his athletic ability has always been a little overrated because he's never been quick enough to just blow by people off the dribble and get to the rim regularly and that's why he always settled for long-twos and three-pointers. Quickness/speed and shiftiness to me is at least as if not more important than bounce so that's why to me he'd be closer to an above average athlete than an elite one, even before the injury.
