Pick two skills from any athlete

[CACarot]

Let's play a game.


You pick a sport and you have all the attributes, skills, and talent you naturally have in said sport. You are allowed to pick two skills/attribute/talent from any two player's in history of said sport to add to you.It's assumed the player's skills is from their prime. You also get 1 critical flaw from either of the two players, that is well known . Rate yourself...What will kind of player would you be and how far you think you would make it in that sport ex. D1, Pro, Hall of Famer.


My example.

Basketball: I'd take the shooting ability of Ray Allen and the defense of Ron Artest. My critical flaw would be Ron arrest unpredictable behavior that leads to suspensions. I'd probably end up being a bench player in the NBA at best. I'm 5'10 so my height wouldn't be NBA ideal for a pg but with Ron arrest defense I wouldn't be a liability. Shooters can always have a home in the league so my Ray allen ability would land me a paycheck, but my suspect ball handling would never make me a true pg but more a defensive Eddie house kind of player. Coaches would be hesitant to put me in also unless for goon work because of the artest mindset.


add on.

The vision of Magic
The athleticism of Shawn Kemp


And Eddie Murphy...

Cause he's a funny muthafukka!!!!!

 

[Black]

Wall's speed and Steph's shooting.

 

[Jesus Is Lord]

Barry Bonds hitting
Rickey Henderson's speed

2 halves of the G.O.A.T. made into 1.

 

[fifth column]

Mj's fundamentals and Steph's shooting. I will take Mjs gambling as a flaw

 

[madness]

Prime Vick's legs
Aaron Rodgers throwing ability

Critical flaw would be Vick's off the field decision making and Rodgers being a fakkit

 

[waltthizzney]

Kobes perfect cheekbones no homo

 

[Pineal Gland]

Mayweather's Defense
Tyson's Power

2x the legal trouble

 

[TheBEASTCOASTrevival]

Reggie Millers shooting

i take westbrook flaw of dumb shots
But with R money's shot them shyts going in anyway

 

[TrebleMan]

I don't watch soccer really, but:
Whatever Cristiano Ronaldo does best (score?)
Whatever Ronaldinho did best (dazzle/handle)
Ronaldo's cockiness as a flaw.

Go down as the GOAT in the world's most popular sport.

Sport I do know (basketball):
Steph Curry's shooting
Kobe's iso
flaw: Kobe's chucking

 

[Noah]

So many options I'll try some somewhat obscure ones just for the hell of it

Pete Maravich's vision/flair

K.C. Jones' defensive prowess

Both were betas by nature so while I'd be good/exciting in some aspects I'd never be a consistent or effective #1 on any team

I'm no star whatsoever but I feel like with that vision on offense and criminally underrated defense (I'm more of a spot up shooter anyways) I may be able to start on some teams, in my opinion. Just don't ask me to score more than 15 a night and with Maravich's passing tendencies I could be turnover prone.

 

[Absolut]

Barry Bonds hitting
Pedro Martinez pitching

 

[MJ Truth]

BASKETBALL
LeBron's endurance/physical stamina + Jason Kidd's court awareness

I feel you could not even have a legitimate ball skill and still be a dominant HOFer with those two attributes.

BOXING
Floyd Mayweather's focus and RJJ's speed

 

[Sly Cookin]

Tracy mcgrady x kareem abdul-jabbar

The lazy eye and goggles would offset each other
