Default Picking Teams (Greatest Athlete)

Something silly for a Friday.

If you were picking a team and you didn't know what sport it was for, which current athlete would you pick first?

I'll go first and a bit unconventional.. C.C. Sabathia.

A great High School athlete in football, baseball and basketball.

He would be good at all the strength events like weightlifting, shot put, discuss etc....

I'm sure even for his size he can run pretty fast.

And if he could skate, it would be either the greatest feat in 300lbs agility, or hilarity

I don't know who that is.

I'd pick Fedor Emelianenko.
He beats opponents before entering the ring.

LeBron James would be another good pick. 6 foot 8 and 250 pounds. He's an absolute monster athlete.

CC Sabathia would probably excel at lesser known sports, such as cake eating and napping.

I like the Chara idea.
The guy is a moster, so presumably he'd be pretty good at anything that requires strength.
Plus if there is a slim chance that hockey gets picked, at least you've got someone who can skate.

I'd imagine Chara would do better at basketball, than Labron James would do at hockey.

Or swimming! Is that racist, or just a gross over-generalization?

That's not racist.
As Daniel Tosh said, "We all know basketball players can't swim very well".

The only thing I see CC winning is a hot dog eating contest.

It pains me to say this but I would probably pick Terrel Owens.

cc sabathia? he would eat you. Does he even speak english?

I would have to choose iggy. it wouldn't matter what sport we would be playing, it would just be cool to hang out with him.

My cousin knows him from jr. high. He was always a good guy.

My 2nd choice would have to be Kiira Korpi.

Iggy was a great baseball player back on the day (I think most pro athletes are good at most sports)
