Wow, impressive, but nothing will ever beat AI's high school football highlights.

bah, based off of youtube clips alone I'd definitely take the Nate mix over what I've found on AI.

Both guys are impressive -- some of their high-school highlight videos seem to suggest that they were more talented all-around athletes than even some football players who went on to star in the NFL at that age. I mean, AI has led the league in scoring 3 times and Nate Robinson has won the dunk contest thrice as well - you'd sort of have to be a 'freak' athlete to accomplish what either of those guys have done at their size.

Apparently, the average life expectancy of an NFL athlete is 55 years old, and for a linebacker it's only 52; an obvious advantage of being a professional basketball player as opposed to a professional football player in the NFL is that it would most likely be a lot less strenuous on one's body. That, plus the fact that the NBA season is much longer. 82 games compared to a 16 game season where someone is likely to get hurt almost every game just seems like a win-win situation to me...
