    LeBron James is a great athlete. Why couldn't he play tennis? There's big dudes like Del Potro, Zverev, Isner, Kyrgios. All top players. Tennis isn't even that demanding on the heart. If it were, matches would never be that long, like 4 hours +. It's more about muscle fatigue, lactic acid build up. Like with any other sport, you just have to train. I'd say basketball is more taxing on the heart.

    He would get clowned on the court. If that's the case I could easily say Kryrie Irving wold be nice on a tennis court.
    Doncic is a beast.

    Of course if you place Roger right now in a basketball court he gets clowned, and Kyrie gets clowned in tennis. That goes for anyone who plays with pros in sports they don't know. But you can't assume if they had picked that sport and trained in it they wouldn't be good. There's no evidence that they wouldn't.

    Try it, show any young teen or twenty a pic of Ali & they'd know him immediately. but a few years ago I was invited to a deal at the Ms Sports Hof Lots of sports stars attended including Floyd. Everyone knew the other stars but when asked if he knew Floyd the kids answer was. " He was the little dwarf guy that fought the Big Show on WWE wasnt it" He didnt even know Floyd was a boxer ROFL

    I think that he is referencing the fact that different body types are optimal for different sports and having the perfect build for one sport could disqualify you from being great at another. Take Michael Jordan for instance, greatest basketball player of all time. But when he tried to play professional baseball he had a strike zone a mile wide. The very thing which before was an asset, his height, had now become a handicap in this other area.
