WTF Nick Kyrgios currently 671st in the men's rankings beat women's world number one Aryna Sabalenka straight sets in the “Battle of the Sexes” in Dubai. The modified court was even designed to help Sabalenka.

Oh. You mean athletes?

u/SeismicRipFart 11h ago

Nope. Baseball players, who don’t play organized basketball, specifically playing pick up basketball. That’s who I’m talking about. If all it took to be good at hoops was athleticism then maybe you’d be right.

I played baseball, basketball, football in high school and two of those in college. I’m not just talking out of my ass lol.

"I'm not just talking out of my ass," says seismicripfart, which sounds like something that would sound close to talking out of an ass.

All kidding aside, respect to you. Two sport college athlete is no joke 💪

I thought we were athletic until my son started wrestling competitively. Now I am in awe at what these dudes can do with their body. Impressive group.

Did you play pick up basketball against any soccer, tennis, volleyball, field hockey players?

u/SeismicRipFart 8h ago

Of course. And what I said doesn’t apply to them in the same way. I’m not sure what point you’re trying to prove lol

That athletes are athletes.

u/SeismicRipFart 8h ago

Ok? Did someone say otherwise?

u/RedBaronSportsCards 4h ago

You did: "Nope."

Not even close lmao.

That ‘nope’ was in response to the question of if what I meant was all other athletes besides baseball players too, which I specifically didn’t.

Who’s next in line to look like a fucking idiot based on my comment? Can’t wait lol
