Baseball is only marginally a sport, which is why steroids can actually improve the performance. Basketball, hockey, soccer, and boxing are the pinnacles of athleticism, so you don’t see too many roids.

As for Lebron, I like him, but unless he wants to dunk on Bush because of his immigration policy he is just misled.

You can’t be for real. Go try hitting a baseball thrown ummmm, lets say thrown 85 mph. Then go kick a soccer ball, throw a free throw, ice skate and throw a punch. I guarantee that even without meeting or knowing you that you will fail at the first one I mentioned many times and you will be successfull at the other ones much more often.
Athleticism is over -rated.

I played baseball through high school, hockey through high school, soccer and tennis through college (varsity) and continue to box competitvely. I was on the all-star team almost every year in baseball, but I don’t really consider it a sport. It is more of a hobby/game. It also happens to be populated by the biggest bunch of a-holes of any of the sports.

As for “athleticisim is overrated”, this is “athletics” I am talking about, played by “athletes”.
