    on another note, benching is a horrible measure of strength

    I can do like 40 push ups but hardly could bench one plate(long arms)

    Basketball has more to do with how skilled/smart/tall you are than how strong or fast you are.

    According to Auburn teammate Chuck Person, Barkley can bench press 330 pounds and leg lift more than 1000.

    Barkley was what, 230 back then? 330 bench for a professional athlete is nothing..basketball players cant bench for shit because of their long arms. I think Dwight maxes at around 350 and he's ridiculously jacked

    I'm sure a number of you guys could back me up on this, but Earl Boykins was rumored to bench 300+.

    wouldn't be surprised..just look at corners in the nfl. some of them bench 400+ and they're 6' 180 lbs.

    bench press is a horrible measure of strength

    horrible logic, you cannot convert push ups to bench press
