Is Danny Ainge the most athletic white player ever?

[DCL]

danny ainge was just talented at 3 sports in high school, but he was never ever "athletic." he was slow as hell, couldn't jump for sh~t, and benched nothing. being good at playing a sport and being "athletic" are totally different things.

I agree with this as well.

Brent Barry was damn athletic as well, in fact, he is the only white player to have won the dunk contest.

He had a great dunk where he took off close to the FT-line:

What should be said is that being "athletic" doesn't count for anything but being good at playing a sport sure does.

tom chambers easily. and i have never once seen danny ainge do anything athletic.

Do people not know what athletic is anymore? This has gone beyond ridiculous.

Forget high school, Danny Ainge was a major league baseball player before he joined the Celtics. That is he did something Jordan couldn't do.

How many people do you know that made the big time in two different professional sports?

Ainge reached the NBA finals as a contributor on 3 different teams.

So we're at the point where a guy could play 14 years in the NBA at shooting guard make an All-Star team, end up with a career average of 11.5, but he not athletic.

But he's white. Doesn't that take at least 2 points out of 10 from your athleticism straight off the top? I mean clearly, athletic white people are so rare it's insane. That's why they play tennis and hockey. Two sports which so clearly require no athletic ability whatsoever. Jordan would make it to AT LEAST the semis at Wimbledon right?

Jordan would win the Triple Crown in both baseball and horse-racing if he chose to.

Hondo was so damn athletic that the Cleveland Browns drafted him to play WR for them (he played a bunch of sports in college). He made the team without even going to training camp, but they HAD to cut him because he wanted to focus on bball.

Lalalala I'm not listening I'm not listening lalalalalala. Only Bo Jackson and MJ can play two sports. Proven fact on ISH so stop with your clear and utter lack of respect for honesty.
