Ok ok true that

but based on freakish athletic abilities Tim Duncan, Nash and Dirk do not fall in that catagory.


Although they are superior smart players im talking about RAW athletic ability

US is good for two reasons. one is that we import a lot of athletes. we give them money and they come, so they are kinda american. the second is that we are a ton of different nationalities which mixes up the gene pool and allows for greater extremes in both ways.

its not that americans are better, we just are a mix of everything else.



my pillars of gaming: kh, naughty dog, insomniac, ssb, gow, ff

i officially boycott boycotts.  crap.

dude we got so many more golds

1. Bahamas could have won just 1 medal and still been on top. Im baggin that list it doesnt count.

 

I agree with you on this

That table proves nothing

I watch basketball & football (Not fucking soccer, okay?) Nigeria have tons of freaky athletes, no way they are that low

Also you cant de-merit the US and China because they account for 95% of the words pop.
