There's a guy who's the Pure Talent, perfect Size and all Athelticism.... but he has very little of the technical skills down...

Is he more likely to become a star in the NBA, MLB, or NFL...

Basically which sport can develop the "raw talent" better?

maybe mlb too he could be a bunt master and base stealer (pinch runner) if he had the speed :toast:

then again the skill of catching a ball or holding onto one can be taught too so he could be in nfl

just put the guy to work @):mad:

MLB because if he has world class speed, he can just pinch run, or maybe a decent CF. IF he has power, he can DH. Just easier to fit in on a team to play small roles.

exactly.. MLB is always looking for utility guys and fill-ins... even with just one raw talent there is many guys in the dugout just because of that 1 talent they possess

I don't know, I was talking about this with a friend and I started out with NBA, but then when he argued it's what 15 guys or so on an NBA roster... it's hard to get playing time.... I think NBA players are the ones that do have to evolve the most, but I just don't know...

I think I would take NFL.....

Seriously, this can't be a legit question.


NBA is all that is.......................A bunch of 6'9" no talented welfare kids that can jump out of the gym.

There is a reason there has not been a "Larry Bird" since Larry Bird. That game doesnt work anymore. If you are 6'9" and can jump, you have a job in the NBA.

NBA - if you are tall and can 'carry your weight' with decent foot work , then you can make the NBA. Many of those guys have zero talent, cant dribble or shoot the ball. They may not be all-stars or see past 15 minutes a game but the will be paid big bucks to sit the bench

JaVale McGee makes like $10 million per year and this describes him perfectly.

no way you can say baseball, those guys have ridiculous hand eye coordination, unless your saying his athletic ability allows him to throw 100 mph right down the middle (chapman recently got a big contract for this exact thing). if hes in the 6 7'' range i would say football is easier. in basketball eventually hell have to learn to shoot, or hell have a short career. yes athleticism will get him there, but itll end there. however if hes taller, the nba is no problem. mcgee and deandre jordan are two guys that made it into the nba based on pure athleticism, and they havnt learned much since getting in the nba but got multi million dollar contracts
