I agree that it might seem that way, but if you want a great example of a seriously tough athlete, watch a whole bunch of Dwyane Wade highlights. That guy is freaking ridiculous. He's 6'4", 220 - the same size as a big, bruising defenceman in the NHL - and he's jumping at full speed into guys who are 6'8" to 7'0" tall and outweigh him by fifty to sixty pounds.
He goes into the lane, gets knocked around, hits the ground, then gets up and does it again, and again, and again.
I HATE the Miami Heat, but I love watching Wade play basketball, the guy is just plain good.
