i’m not talking entire sports (cough, golf, cough), but rather individuals that, for whatever reason are much more athletic than their physical appearance would let on

a post on the nfl thread made me think of warren sapp, but i’d also but charles barkley in this group

i’m sure there are others

While obviously not athletic, it has often been said that Tayshaun Prince was always one of the strongest players on his teams.

Messi is one of the greatest players of all time and he's a midget.

prince is a good one

made me think of when durant got drafted and it was reported that he couldn’t bench press 180, or something like that

Shaq is probably one of the top guys on this list.

Ok fine. Old Shaq.

Even when he was a big guy and all of that, he still had some incredible athletic feast.

Put him in a T shirt in that pic, and he would look like he was there to give you an estimate for siding replacement.

I thought the point was guys who ARE athletic but don't LOOK athletic.

Not guys who are unathletic but managed to play a professional sport.

You're retarded. He's 5'7'', plays soccer, and is a 10. He's a perfect specimen for the role.

Charles Barkley was not unathletic until age and injuries caught up with him. Check out the first half of this video and bear in mind that he was 6’4” and change:
