Saw this on The Golf Channel (of all places) this morning. Would this kind of athlete have any advantage in golf?

Like Charles Barkley said, when he learns to play the game, and his skills match his athleticism, look out.

Regarding the op's question, given modern clubfitting, I think that someone with those leverages, that power and flexibility would have an advantage in creating speed over the average guy. It's just not going to be that often that a 6'10" guy with physical tools like that would choose golf over hoops, so I don't know if we'll ever see it on tour. Maybe in longdrive after they retire (Rick Barry).

Kinda what I was hinting at. I don't think those tools create an advantage in golf (some might be a disadvantage) like they do in other sports. The attraction would probably be where you would have the biggest advantage given your skill set.

Good catch with Barry, I'd forgotten all about that.

Dariusz asked that this one be submitted as the best dunk of all time. Back when the hardwood was really hard and not springy like today's pros have it.

I asked ??? Either you mistook names or you simply wanted to make fun of me extrapolating glorification of older times in golf. Not funny at all. FYI, I even do not like basketball.

Blake is an amazing athlete but in no way is this the best of the best. I am with whoever said he needed to grab the rim at least a little.

Back when there was no such thing as a 3 point line. Today's pros have it so easy. Just bomb and gouge.

What is so funny then ? The fact that someone who regard himself as a first clown on the forum insolently lied or the fact that he infantily tried to put another forum member in a ridiculous light with a hopelessly inadequate comparison ? Enlight me, please, if it is not too dificult a task for you.

Dariusz,

From one (me) who takes himself very seriously, lighten up because that shit by mgranato was hilariously funny.

Is that Ben Hogan being carried aloft at the end of the video?
Didn't realize he was also a dunk king
Course, it must be easier to dunk when you're hoisted in the air like that...
