Message: [QUOTE="OttoMets, post: 3243869, member: 716"] [B]No, I don't. [/B]That's a clear example of Cooney's physical superiority. [U]But I do think it's close[/U]. Beyond the wide-open dunking, I don't think the advantage is that great in a basketball context. Cooney had a very limited sort of athleticism - he could jump some, but only on the first leap and not in traffic. He was kind of quick, but not in a way that allowed him to get past a defender or get a shot off against a physical opponent. Essentially, his abstract athleticism didn't translate very well in a live game. [/QUOTE]
