48426, Sidenote: rant on his I'm not athletic line Posted by Vertigo, Thu Feb-08-07 12:14 AM
I *hate* it when athletes (or non) state that they (or player xyz) isn't particularly athletic or physically gifted. That's the biggest crock of crap ever. ever.
Every nba baller is extremely gifted. No, they aren't all Jordan gifted, but a lot of these guys are out of touch with just how phenominal of an athlete one must be to play d-one ball at a school like Penn st.---let alone make a professional league.
Side-side note, this also applies to when an announcer/fan tries to act like some professional athlete who is white/short/etc. isn't a phenominal athlete--just a hard worker...etc. Sorry buddy, hard work alone ain't getting you in the pros.
