Re: NBA's Perfect Specimen First of all what is Steve Francis doing on there? The others are good. But you got some of the heights wrong.

That was SICK.

I think its Garnett. A guy whose really 7'1 who can score, shoot, block, and pass. He can virtually play every position.
Re: NBA's Perfect Specimen In terms of athletisism combined with skill, it has to be Kevin Garnett. He has more range than TD, and everages more assists with mediocre talent around him, while not dominating the ball. He is 7'1, and can do everything for you. The man needs to get out of Minnesota

Re: NBA's Perfect Specimen I dont understand the question?If you are looking for the best body in the NBA, its Michael Ruffin. That guy is a beast.
Re: NBA's Perfect Specimen Agreed ^ I think I'm going to with Dwight Howard. He has size, strength, can finish around the basket, great on defense, beast on the boards, and can block a few shots. All he needs to do is develop a shooting touch that will evelate his game even more and he needs to be a good passing big man like KG is. He has the potential to do both of those things.
Re: NBA's Perfect Specimen Well, you can break this in a few ways. The person who has the best body for an NBA star (forget vertical jump or skill, just on pure body and what that player could potentially do with that body) is LeBron James. He is extremely strong, has like no fat on him, is tall enough and big enough to outpower and shoot over any SG/SF in league, and that body gives him ability to be extremely versatile.
Re: NBA's Perfect Specimen Amare Stoudemire, Tracy McGrady, Dwyane Wade, LeBron.<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (TheAnalyst @ Mar 19 2006, 05:42 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}></div><div class='quotemain'>But hes not clutch.</div>Don't get off topic. This thread clearly has nothing to do w/ clutchness.
Re: NBA's Perfect Specimen <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (JustBlaze @ Mar 19 2006, 08:29 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}></div><div class='quotemain'>I'd have to say LeBron is the best combo of strength and agility.</div>I would have to agree with that
Re: NBA's Perfect Specimen The answer to this question is who does what his body says he should not be able to. With that in mind, LeBron being 6'8" and doin what he does, KG being almost 7ft and doin what he does are the only two guys I would consider "freaks" many guys in the L are athletic (kobe, Amare, hell Mike James) but consider that Lebron is Elton Brand's height and KG is 2 inches taller than Ben Wallace, they win.
