NBA: The All-Athletic Team

Found April 13, 2008 on rawsportsblog.com:
PLAYERS: Josh Smith,  LeBron James,  Jason Richardson,  Baron Davis,  Dwight Howard,  Jason Richardson
TEAMS: Atlanta Hawks,  Cleveland Cavaliers,  Charlotte Bobcats,  Golden State Warriors,  Orlando Magic

The other day I decided to start browsing through YouTube looking for some basketball videos. That's when I saw it, a video of Jason Richardson's best dunks throughout his career. As I watched, I realized how easy he made everything look, like he was dunking on a Fisher Price basket. Tons of impressive windmills and off the backboard slams, weren't enough. I wanted to see more. As I watched video after video, I started wondering, who are the most athletic players at each position? After giving my question some thought, my All-Athletic team was born. Without further ado, here's what I came up with: www.rawsportsblog.com

Brand, O'Neal, or Smith?

Via All Philadelphia Sports  |  April 13, 2008
Ed Snider said that in the offseason that they don't want to sign a superstar so I think that rules out Brand and O'Neal, but Josh Smith is a restricted Free Agent and the Atlanta Hawks already have a young power forward in Al Horford so they can get rid of Smith to free cap. The Atlanta Hawks can match any offer that a team makes to Smith but the Hawks haven't been such an aggressive...
