"I'm probably the best overall athlete, all sports, on the team," Pritchard said, per NBC Sports Boston. "... (Jaylen Brown) might think he might be. (Derrick) White and them, Sam (Hauser), we have some good ones but I think through all sports I think I get it, for sure. It's not confidence, it's the truth."

The question itself was raised after the Celtics spent a chunk of their training camp time bonding over some non-basketball activities such as walking football, wiffle ball, handball and speed walk baton pass.

Best overall athlete sure I'll take it. Can't wait to see more action from him.

At first I thought he meant he's the best player on the team I would've fell off my chair

Just based on the average heights of athletes for other sports, I can see it. We have some freak athletes on the team, but in some cases their height is a serious disadvantage
I'm bitter.

Same way Danny Ainge was probably the best one in the 80s.

Sure, I just don't want to go through the effort of confirming it.

Athlete in terms of different sports I can see.  Athlete in terms of running, jumping, etc. I  cannot.
