played basketball about all my life - why so rare to see muscle dudes that don't suck

not saying i was any good but why so rare to see "buff" dudes that could hoop? basketball as a hobby seems like a game that puts together about all things "athleticism"...good to have a mix of quick, endurance, reflexes, coordination, strength, quick jumping etc.

when a swole dude would come to play the ones that could be decent in any way usually did some form of bully ball...holding, fouling, shoving

ya but swole dudes would knock your twink ass out with 1 punch. is that athleticism?




100 yrs of basketball fights, nobody ever got slept with 1 punch. i remember when ron artest ran into the crowd and threw a 10 piece combo on some couch potato and the punches just bounced off the random dude. Ron Artest was supposed to be some feared enforcer too. JFL



basketball players are weak twinks. they have no power.

I killed my back at the gym last night and everything is tight, stiff, and heavy.
If i tried to play now, the shots would be off and the muscles to heavy to move quickly and feel the shot.
You can be too big except in football where pushing is key.
There is an unspoken thing, we are iron brothers and sisters, we are to support each other and...It is our duty to support our brothers and sisters in the iron game!

It's similar to soccer where you need athleticism and workouts geared towards performance. The more muscular you are, the less nimble you tend to be because they don't do any sort of full ROM stretch work. That's why so many of those guys also tend to tear their ACLs or tear muscles when they start playing because they aren't used to the applied forces, explosive movement in directions, and their muscles are not strong through extended athletic motions, etc. It would be different if they did athletic work every workout or constantly played hard every day while also lifting.

They're basically like walking blockheads.
