Is SF in NBA the most athletic position in sports?

I highly doubt there is anyone in the NFL that is Bron's height, weight with a 40 inch vertical and a 4.4 40 yard dash. Its pretty much fact Bron in the greatest all round athlete the world has ever seen.

And no. It isn't.

But he's probably more athletic than most small forwards in the NBA.

Not even considering wide receivers and DBs.

athletic [ath-let-ik]
adjective

of or relating to athletes; involving the use of physical skills or capabilities, as strength, agility, or stamina.


he's more agile than any SF (and most likely way stronger even without pound for pound). And please don't link me to some PEDs ripped body, that's irrelevant, bar gymnasts can lift their own weight with one arm multiple times in a same combo.



he has more stamina than any sf





Never mind fighting sports, where they are not only stronger, and more durable, but most likely much more agile and fast.

Sure, SFs can jump higher... but jumping is irrelevant because it only applies to certain few disciplines.

When you bring actual sports into the equation, those where you don't have a 3 minute stop every other minute, I'd say there's a bunch of sports where they have much more stamina than SFs, and due to the average height of SFs, I'd say plenty of sports where they are faster too. I'm pretty sure SFs compare pretty good in strenght, at least compared to other team sports, but that's about it. A soccer player is a much better athlete because chances are, he has more stamina and runs faster, and those are universal athletic attributes.
