its a legitimate debate my dawg
baseball has just as many negro slave descendants showing off their escaping skills

theyre just under the guises of names like Starlin Castro or Robinson Cano..but don't get it twisted, if they ended up on the wrong boat, they would have been Jamals or LeWillustovictory James playing ball

Even some of the fattest NBA dudes like old Shaq and modern Z-Bo could/can run up and down the floor, put the ball in the basket, and play defense against other big men.

Guys like CC Sabathia and Prince Fielder can't even run 30 yards without needing supplemental O2. :heh:

However, SS, 2B, and CF requires legitimate athleticism, and some of the prime players playing those positions right now are :whew:

:dead:

but nephew..guys like Z-Bo really aren't that fat..Zbo is pudgy but youll find quite of bit of muscle content on him..
anfd the position players are the definition of smooth athleticism..the way baseball players legs hit their ass everytime they run is a thing of beauty (no homo)..i seen colby rasmus live and was in awe just how he ran out to the outfield..

i think baseball has the smoothest, most flexible and coordinated athletes, as well as a lot of explosive guys ect :huhldup:

id be willing to bet that mike trout and bryce harper and robby canoe, could do a two footed between the legs with no prioblems

I agree, Z-Bo is not necessarily fat, he's just kind of pudgy and flabby around the trunk area. But I'm just comparing the fact that even some of the bigger, strikingly un-athletic players, like Z-Bo and old Shaq, could still do the basic requirements of basketball, and at a fairly serviceable level.

In baseball, you have hundreds of guys who have NO athleticism and they're hidden at 1B, DH, or Pitchers. Don't get me wrong, these guys are incredibly talented because hitting for .300 or locating pitches is a hell of a skill. But if we're comparing the athletic capabilities across the entire sport, I don't think baseball players as a collective group hold a candle to NBA players.

But yeah, if you take the top-tier, upper echelon of players in the MLB right now, they can definitely compete with NFL, NBA, and NHL players in terms of athleticism and ability.
