Greatest Athlete in the World?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mHwmgmgwf8k

The very first dunk is INHUMAN ... his entire head is above the (10 foot) basket ... just look at where his feet are at the peak of the jump .. they're around the other guys elbows .. and the distance between him and the ground/plane is insane:



.. i dont think they're is anyone on earth who has more pure athleticism than this guy ... certainly not those soccer stars or even NBA players ...

That's impossible to answer since there are many different sports. An athlete could be good at one sport, but suck a another.

yeah, perhaps he is the best basket baller, but there is no reason to compare him to athletes of other sports.

he's got the jump but does he got the stamina? the best athlete in the world was the runner from the battle of marathon (Pheidippides/Philippides).

that run cost him his life .. and your kidding yourself if you think people from back then can compare with people today in terms of athletic ability ...

The best athlete in the world is the one who will swim a marathon.

i ya a army of people who needed to walk across countries, and even run messages between cites on foot, without junk food, without air pollution, without cars, without modern comforts, must have been alot less athletic or healthy.

coolio

Lol, yes

LOL @ Marwa...

I don't like basketball anyways haha...it was nothing to "impressive" for me although i'm sure its a big thing

I don't like basketball though

u dont need to in order to appreciate this kind of ability

Agreed with sayf. I wish I could jump like that... I'm nearly 5'10"

sayf sorry to break it to you but that's not so great, i could dunk that without jumping =/

you can dunk on a 10 foot basket without jumping?

not even yao ming can do that ... and he's 7'6"

just think about it ... he's over 4 feet in the air

that was not a 10 foot basket and he did not jump over a foot, the highest ill put that at is about 7'5
