    Default Best Basketball Bodies

    Completely forget about skill and talent. I want you to tell me who has the best body for the sport at each position. Grade players on:

    Height
    Length
    Agility
    Quickness
    Strength
    Speed
    Hand size
    Durability
    Leaping ability


    PG: John Wall
    SG: Andrew Wiggins
    SF: Giannis Antetokounmpo
    PF: Anthony Davis
    C: Andre Drummond

    Second team

    PG: Westbrook
    SG: Jimmy Butler
    SF: Durant (or Kawhi)
    PF: LeBrizzle
    C: Hassan Whiteside

    Replace Wall with WB and Davis with LeBron.

    WB beats Wall at almost everything. Davis only has height and length on LeBron. Probably hand size as well.

    Add leaping ability.

    Wall is taller, longer, and faster than WB. WB is stronger and more explosive. It's pretty much a draw IMO.

    LeBron 5 years ago would have been above Davis imo.

    Lebron has arguably the best basketball body in the history of the sport, and yet you put him on the second team among today's players only....

    If we are talking physical prime:

    PG: Wade (He is a bit short for a SG, but has the perfect abilities for a PG. Agility, Speed, Strength, Quickness, Size)
    SG: Jordan
    SF: James:
    PF:Malone
    C: D Robinson or young Shaq

    I'm talking about right now though.
    Wade probably makes my second team all-time because of his crazy length.

    James makes first team all time, but right now AD gets the easiest buckets in the league due to his length, leaping, and coordination. James is one of the most freakish athletes of all time, but he is noticeably slower today than he was a few years ago. AD probably covers more ground (quickness+length) than any player in the last decade. Last person with his length to be able to move as he does was pre-injury Dwight.

    if we are talking right now:
    PG: Wall : Quicker and more agile that Westbrook
    SF: James
    PF: Davis
    C: DeAndre Jordan

    At the SG there is a gap. Kobe is too old, Wade is still strong and has that balance of his but he is slower and his jumping has decreased dramatically.
    I don't like Butler's speed , quickness and balance...Maybe Bradley Beal actually.

    Derozan for SG.

    Current players, current rules?

    Westbrook
    Giannis
    Durant
    Davis
    Cousins

    I'm not sure that current Lebron beats out current Durant for the SF spot. Pretty much the only thing he has on him right now is strength, but that's not at a premium in today's league. Lebron is undoubtedly the better athlete of the two, though, even now.

    Harden is a physical specimen. Perfect height, strong as hell, agile as hell, and has a nice one step vertical.

    Blake Griffin with Dwight Howard's length is the GOAT body
