no, i'm talking about my cousin the ballerina.
how much do you think that bitch can pull for, is what i want to know?
she's a fat bitch, but it's not weak fat, it's strong fat. i know she can snatch at least 140kg, and that's pretty deez.
this dyke squats 300 fo' reps ATF nigga, ATF!! she eats pakis for breakfast.
also, i like to call her a 'he' because she shaves more than i do.
now, hit me with a number. btw, she's taken.

Most bball players are weak. 7'0 Dirk Nowitski is a giant bean pole and is afraid to drive in against stronger, bigger players like Shaq. If he gets whacked, he gets shy to go to the basket. I'd drive that bitch right down their fucking throats. That's the confidence strength gives you.

shaq is functionally stronger than probably anyone on this board.......maybe not now because he's getting old and somewhat crickety, but he's still a very strong man. Weight room strength and functional strength are not necessarily conjoined. Shaq is an enormous wingspan, so I doubt his bench is all that impressive "FOR A MAN HIS SIZE".......but I bet he still benches alot. I know he can curl 150 pound dumbells for reps, so in some lifts he is really strong. You cannot forget what "leverage" a man his size has. No, he's not going to step up and squat or dead 800 plus pounds.

haha man that was a retarded post.
Well considering that if you are a pro in any sport, it's manditory to lift weights, so going by how much Kobe can squat (400+lbs...we'll just say 400 for argument sake) deadlift for him should be around 500+, and he's around what--6'9" I believe-- so with Shaq having much more height and weight than ex-teammate Kobe, I'd have to say Shaq should be able to deadlift around 600-700 lbs--maybe 800 if he wasn't as old as he is now.

All I can say is that I sure as hell would not want to piss him off. I've seen him a couple times in the audience of big MMA events so I'd be willing to guess that not only is he huge, moves good, but that he also has some rudimentary knowledge of MMA.
I know I might get flipped shit for this, but imagine him in his prime up against Mat Hughes now. If he has any kind of fighting ability at all, his sheer size, strength, and athleticism would make him very dangerous.
I'd be willing to bet he could take a guy out like Matt Hughes if he had some rudimentary skills. I mean how the fuck does a world class amazing champ at 185lbs like Hughes take on a basically 7' tall, 300lbs athletic guy like that? You can kiss anything, but ab punches good bye. No way a guy like Hughes could pick up Shaq and slam him like he does guys that weigh the same as him. I love hearing these freakish strength comments about the guy in MMA fights. Full body picking u pa guy that weighs the same as me is a joke. Last time I wrestled a guy I popped him into the air so fast it was funny. So you see what I'm saying? All you got left is take down's and ground and pound/submission.
Once again, if Shaq had some minor skills it would be extremely hard to take him down. If and when you got him down you'd have to keep him down and a 185lbs guy on him is like a fly. If you think not you've never wrestled/grappled seriously before. 20lbs is a big difference let alone 115lbs. Anything less than a full arm bar with everything you had/both legs maxed on his arm would not make him tap out.
Sounds totally dumb, BUT their is a reason you just don't fuck with certain people.
As for basketball players being weak? UM, NO. Maybe compared to football players, but basketball players on average are the leanest sports players, have the highest vertical leap, are over 6' tall and over 220lbs. They do lift weights. I'm pretty sure that alot of pro basketball players could put a serious beating on people. They are fast and explosive and in fighting and sports that generally means more than pure brute strength.
A nice example would be Michael Jordan. Ya, he's not gonna win any lifting contests, but he's fuckin fast and powerful and if you think not what besides genetics constitutes a great vertical jump? Power generation in the legs and hips. If he can steamroll and leap over guys that big and athletic, imagine what he'd do to an average joe or gym lifter.
Let's not even go into a guy like Lawrence Taylor rushing at you.
As for how much Shaq could deadlift. Unfortunately he has his huge height disadvantage even though his structure for his height is excellent. I'd guess around 500-600lbs. Consider just how far he has to pull that weight. Twice as far as the average joe?
Reminds me of a guy I knew that played football. 275, 6'7" senior in high school lineback. His deadlift and squat were "ok". He could bench his bodyweight once. His arm span was HYOOGE and he knew how to use his size and weight. I don't care if you could deadlift twice as much as him and outbench him by 100lbs you wouldn't get passed him.

No it's not dumbfuck. Isaish Thomas was a little dude, much smaller than me but he had the mentally of a warrior. He would drive the ball to the basket no matter who was in there. I didn't say I could kick Shaq's ass, only that I'd not be afraid to drive to the hoop. I was a collegiate running back. You can't be afraid to lower your shoulder and bang with the giants. Some of those bball players are not very tough.

It however, doesn't give you basketball skills, so you'd be sitting on your ass wondering why your pathetic attempt at a shot was sent into the rafters.

ooh ok aaron carter.
go ahead and play runningback in a basketball game and see how far that gets you. ah fuck it I'm not even gonna bother arguing with you, all I know is you can charge in there all you want against the Diesel, you'll see how many baskets you'll make...or charging fouls

My point was that I wouldn't be afraid to take it to the hole. Tough men aren't afraid. Some players are afraid of the contact. And last year in the finals, Jerry Stackhouse (100 lbs lighter than Shaq) knocked him on his big fat ass and he went sprawling across the floor with his legs spread apart and was embarrassed. That's what I'm talking about by payback. That big bastard takes a cheap shot at you, and you take one back. I can't help it that some of you boys are pussies.
