It's a long and boring summer ... so I'd give you all something to do!
For the past couple of years, it has been observed by many Celtics fans that the more "athletic" NBA teams _ Hawks, Bobcats (to name a couple) _ have been giving the Celtics team a harder time than expected. With the NBA teams' 2010 rosters almost set (including the Celtics' roster), how did the Celtics team do in terms of getting more athletic vis a vis the other NBA teams?
Did we get more athletic and would we match up better with the so-called athletic teams? Who are these so-called athletic teams?
a) How would you now rank our Celtics team in terms of athleticism _ top 5 (most athletic), top 10, top 15, top 20, top 25, top 30 (least athletic)?
--> Top 15
b) Who are the top 3 Celtics players in terms of athleticism?
1. Rajon Rondo
2. Kevin Garnett
3. Bill Walker
c) Who are the top 3 most athletic 2010 NBA teams who would give the Celtics a harder time THAN EXPECTED due to their athleticism?
1. Portland (i.e., young & athletic plus expecting an improved Oden)
2. Atlanta (i.e., still young & athletic plus a little more experienced)
3. New Jersey
Lastly, let's factor in BB skills & instincts together with athleticism:
d) Who is the most athletic Celtic player with the best BB skills and/or instincts?
--> Kevin Garnett
e) Who is the most athletic NBA player with the best BB skills and/or instincts?
--> LeBron James
f) Who is the most athletic NBA player with the poorest BB skills and/or instincts OR with still developing BB skills?
--> Dwight Howard (i.e., still developing BB skills)
g) Who is the least athletic NBA player with the best BB skills and/or instincts?
--> Steve Nash
And you choices are ....?
