Damaramu Posted May 24, 2004 Report Posted May 24, 2004 Ok here's a what if scenario. Let's say you were able to take on the abilities and skills of two athletes and then go and play the sport they play. ANY sport. Who would they be and what would you do? Two athletes who's abilities would make you the greatest ever! I don't know if I'd rather play basketball, football, or baseball. If it were basketball I'd combine Michael Jordan and Larry Bird. Then I'd be able to fly and shoot the ball like nobodies business. I'd go take the Celtics back to prominence to. If it were baseball......hmm.......I'd combine the pitching of Nolan Ryan and the hitting and speed of Ken Griffey Jr. in his prime. Then I'd have to go play in the NL so that I could pitch and hit...... If it were football......I'd combine Joe Montana and John Elway. Oh the comebacks I'd engineer at QB............for the Eagles of course. So how about you guys?
Ripper Posted May 24, 2004 Report Posted May 24, 2004 Magic and Bird in basketball. Eavirry Birson would be the greatest of all time.
HarleyQuinn Posted May 24, 2004 Report Posted May 24, 2004 Baseball - The eye and speed of Rickey Henderson combined with the contact and power of Barry Bonds. Football - The agility and awareness of Barry Sanders combined with the speed/hitting of Darrell Green Basketball - The passing/dribbling of Jason Kidd combined with the scoring/defense of Michael Jordan
Guest MikeSC Posted May 24, 2004 Report Posted May 24, 2004 Magic and Bird in basketball. Eavirry Birson would be the greatest of all time. I'd say Jon Koncak and George Muresan. Mathematically, if you multply two negatives, it equals a positive. Can you name two more negative talents than those two? Heck, combined, they'd probably own Wilt. -=Mike
Ripper Posted May 24, 2004 Report Posted May 24, 2004 Basketball - The passing/dribbling/defence of Jason Kidd combined with the scoring/leadership/confidence of Michael Jordan I think that is what you meant.
Guest MikeSC Posted May 24, 2004 Report Posted May 24, 2004 Basketball - The passing/dribbling/defence of Jason Kidd combined with the scoring/leadership/confidence of Michael Jordan I think that is what you meant. How about: Tennis --- the body of Kournikova and the BUTT of either Williams sister? It's not like anybody watches it for the athletic prowess. -=Mike
starvenger Posted May 24, 2004 Report Posted May 24, 2004 As far as hockey goes, Gordie Howe and Wayne Gretzky. That'd be one tough goal scoring MF'er...
the pinjockey Posted May 24, 2004 Report Posted May 24, 2004 The athletic ability of Michael Vick with the pocket presence and QB intelligence of Peyton Manning. The body of David Boston with the hands and head of Marvin Harrison.
nl5xsk1 Posted May 24, 2004 Report Posted May 24, 2004 I'd combine Bobby Orr and Gordie Howe ... maybe the quickness & puckhandling of Orr with the size and strength of Howe. Take the best of both their scoring touches, rather than just pick one or the other.
HarleyQuinn Posted May 24, 2004 Report Posted May 24, 2004 Basketball - The passing/dribbling/defence of Jason Kidd combined with the scoring/leadership/confidence of Michael Jordan I think that is what you meant. nope, I meant the defense of Jordan. Jordan really was underrated as a defender just because his offense was always more noticeable. Credit to basketballreference.com Jordan's Career(As of 2002-2003 season): Averaged 2.35 SPG & .83 BPG Kidd's Career(As of 2002-2003 season): 2.11 SPG & .32 BPG Let's compare Allen Iverson(Considered a great defensive guard at least steals wise). Iverson's Career(As of 2002-2003 season): 2.38 SPG & .22 BPG To further this, let's look at Gary Payton(Considered by some as the best defensive Guard ever) Payton's Career(As of 2002-2003 season): 2.09 SPG & .24 BPG
kkktookmybabyaway Posted May 24, 2004 Report Posted May 24, 2004 Shawn Kemp and Rasheed Wallace. They'd produce enough kids between the two of them to start your own basketball league...

He's the complete package. I'd just combine myself and Jordan and I'd already be one of the best players.
Damaramu Posted May 25, 2004 Author Report Posted May 25, 2004 I'd just combine myself and Jordan and I'd already be one of the best players. Touche'
Vern Gagne Posted May 25, 2004 Report Posted May 25, 2004 Baseball-Nolan Ryan's power pitching and 100 mph fastball, and Greg Maddux's pinpoint control.
Guest Agent of Oblivion Posted May 25, 2004 Report Posted May 25, 2004 I'd combine Mike Tyson's strength, speed, explosiveness, precision, and destructive nature with Shaquille O'Neal's size to create a monster boxer who can reach his opponents halfway across the ring, and beat them to pieces.
the max Posted May 25, 2004 Report Posted May 25, 2004 Peter Forsberg with someone who never gets injured, so we can see how good Forsberg's numbers would be without all the injuries.

True, he put up great numbers, but anyone that watched him play can tell you that he was a INCREDIBLE, probably best off the ball defender in the last 20 years, but as a on the ball defender, he was rather sad. His gambling that worked off the ball would let guys like Petrovic, Price, Dumars...hell most guards he lined up against to put up great numbers.
Kahran Ramsus Posted May 25, 2004 Report Posted May 25, 2004 The leadership and toughness of Brett Favre with the athleticism of Michael Vick. That's pretty much the ultimate football player right there.
alfdogg Posted May 25, 2004 Report Posted May 25, 2004 Shawn Kemp and Rasheed Wallace. They'd produce enough kids between the two of them to start your own basketball league... You could put Ron Artest in this group too, he's 24 and already has 5 kids.
kkktookmybabyaway Posted May 25, 2004 Report Posted May 25, 2004 Damn. Five kids already? He's not defensive when it comes to reproducing that's for sure...
2GOLD Posted May 26, 2004 Report Posted May 26, 2004 Damn. Five kids already? He's not defensive when it comes to reproducing that's for sure... Sounds like he's real good at blocking and defending against women's request he wear a condom. I'd combine Ray Lewis with Ronnie Lott....now that player would be a defensive MONSTER.
Guest Redhawk Posted May 26, 2004 Report Posted May 26, 2004 The Perfect Point Guard: Ballhandling and scoring ability of Stephon Marbury, combined with the passing and vision of Mark Jackson Perfect 2-Guard: Shooting touch and late-game cojones of Reggie Miller, combined with the defensive ability of Ron Artest. Perfect Small Forward: All-around skills of Scottie Pippen in his prime, combined with Kevin Garnett's athleticism and fire. Perfect Power Forward: Rebounding and defense of Dennis Rodman, combined with offensive game of Tim Duncan. Perfect Center: Size and skills of Shaq, shooting touch of Dirk Nowitski.
razazteca Posted May 26, 2004 Report Posted May 26, 2004 Merge Ben & Rasheed Wallace into Brallace the ultimate defender with the ability to rebound, block shots, and shoot the outside shot.
razazteca Posted May 26, 2004 Report Posted May 26, 2004 I'd combine Mike Tyson's strength, speed, explosiveness, precision, and destructive nature with Shaquille O'Neal's size to create a monster boxer who can reach his opponents halfway across the ring, and beat them to pieces. Bob Sapp? The only thing missing is the rope-a-dope of Ali.
EVIL~! alkeiper Posted May 26, 2004 Report Posted May 26, 2004 That and the ability to last a few rounds.
Guest Agent of Oblivion Posted May 26, 2004 Report Posted May 26, 2004 You're telling me a fight with a 7' 300lb Tyson-like destroyer is going to go a few rounds?
