I would have thought that speed has a lot more to do with length of jump and strength with height of jump (I'm more confident about the first statement than the second).

You see a lot of sprinters being good at long jump, but I haven't heard of many sprinters who have competed at international level in high jump.

6'1 ain't short at all

From my experience , the faster you can run the better your vert is going to end up. And the higher your vert gets through training the better your overall speed would be.

6'1 is a reasonable height for a PG
.
Keep in mind that if you want a true indication of an NBA players height you need to shorten them by 1-2 inches as their measurements are always in shoes (and then some).

So 6'1 is really 6'3.

But that doesn't really have anything to do with Buddy's athletic ability, right?

Folau didn't really well for someone who had never played footy before.

That's not the same as succeeding.

If he didn't have 'name value' he wouldn't have even made the best 21 most weeks.

+1 to Elysse Perry.

Why do people think Israel Folau failed at AFL? I think he did real well personally. Karmichael Hunt as well.

Maybe at PF, but not quite tall enough for C ;)

She's represented Australia in cricket and soccer, right?

There was an interesting/ sad interview with Ablett senior last year in the Herald Sun.

Of course, if we're talking about athlete who THINKS he's the best, Anthony Mundine, without a doubt.

Agree about Ablett. He's a freak, not just for the reasons outlined in Lebron dunk thread.
