Most aspiring tennis players look up to Serena tho. I don't understand why you say she isn't widely liked. Almost every up & comer cites Serena as their favorite player.

im not going to get into an argument about eras right now not in the mood. Atheticism means what. Tim duncan and chris paul have never had much athletic ability and what does that mean. They are still better players and have been then russell westbrooks, or dwight howards.

Plus modern athletes should be better athletes considering people have been training since middle school and have the benefit of "modern medicine."

He's speaking more to appeal and marketability. Of course all basketball players look up to MJ. All golfers look up to Tiger. All tennis players look up to Serena.
Steph is just EASIER to market.

You would think so. In MLB though pitchers are much more frail in today's game then pitchers of the past. Even with bullpens and closers modern pitchers seem to get hurt at a higher clip and are much more protected pitch count wise.

I still don't see the racial argument by DC about Curry/LeBron. I seen Black Twitter roast them both.
I would argue that Kobe was accused of raping a white woman and he is still more universally liked than Curry and LeBron due to his legacy. Dude still selling out his kicks and jerseys more than Curry and LeBron.

This has proven true for sprinters. I think the slowest guys at the olympics were still faster than the best were 20-30 years ago. Hypobaric chambers have helped too. Not sure if anyone in the NBA uses them.

Naw bro, you didn't know the entire Warriors team was awarded Co-MVP trophies once Westbrook started hog tying Steph in the WCF?
If they had suspended McAdoo that would be the excuse for the Warriors losing game 5, because he's so valuable.
Dude I was talking to the other day defended Curry saying he doesn't have to put up big numbers because their bench is so deep.
So in other words Curry is being carried by the team, yet he wins the MVP unanimously?
And these are Golden State fans telling me this nonsense

She was hot. Stephens and Bouchard are the hottest right now imo.

I was listening to a radio interview a couple weeks ago. It made an interesting point: if you adjust for changes in the running surface, Jesse Owens would've been almost as fast as Bolt.
This whole notion that athletes now are superior is slightly overblown.
