True or False: Was a prime Muhammad Ali 'ATHLETIC' enough to complete a Foul-Line Dunk?

Michael Jordan is the GREATEST!!!

because others said so, not because he said so.

Ali probably didn't have the ability to dunk from the foul line. He was 6-3, 210 in his prime, and was built more like a tight end at that time. I remember Vince Lombardi drooling over Ali's athletic ability. I'd consider him a pretty good judge.

On the other hand, could Michael Jordan take a punch from Joe Frazier -- one punch -- without being knocked out? Let alone go at least 12 rounds three times? Could he deliver a knockout blow? Could he fight for 20 years (including amateur)?

Ali probably would have been champion for about 10-12 years had it not been for the whole draft business. It's impossible to compare athletes in different sports fairly; let's just say they were both great and leave it at that.

MJ never shattered a backboard. They are different types of sport. Ask yourself, could MJ take a beating from George Forman and Joe Louis and still win the fight like Ali did? I think not.

MJ did shatter a backboard.

Also, KING, I know that MJ is the GOAT and i'm not going to debate that, but I think the way you try to go about in proving this is obnoxious. This is barely even a question, it's just you trying to prove how awesome MJ was. Why do you even feel the need to do it? It's just Yahoo answers, dog

Obviously, Jordan wasn't "athletic" enough to do it:

At 1:02, you can see his whole foot is in the lane..

Jordan never took off from behind the foul line and dunked. That's a myth.

Now that I've "shattered" the myth of the Jordan foul line dunk, let's see the link to him shattering a backboard in an NBA game...not on some European made crap backboard... Shattering a backboard only counts if you do it in an NBA game, on NBA regulation backboards.

Jordan SHARES (not holds) the record for consecutive scoring titles.

Ali was 10x stronger than Jordan... You think Jordan could hang 15 rounds in the ring with Joe Frazier? Even a glancing blow from Frazier would have sent Jordan to the canvas in many tiny pieces.

Was Muhammad Ali stupid enough to make Kwame Brown the #1 pick in the NBA draft? No. But I know who WAS stupid enough to do that. But I won't name names here.

KING - you're just upset because Jordan couldn't take off from behind the foul line and dunk it....and I just proved it.

And you're upset because Jordan ring total is DWARFED by Russell's! DWARFED, I tell you!

ESPN was paid by NIKE to name Jordan "the greatest athlete of the 20th century"... why do you think they never publicized their "criteria" for choosing the greatest?

The athletic skills required for boxing and basketball are very different. Who knows if Ali could have done that or not? I sure don't.

Well I'm not going to answer all of those questions but for the main question I would have to say that he would not b able to do it. Its not a matter of how athletic he is rather than what he trains for.

False.

I don't think so , Because you need to be pretty tall to do that

at least 6-6!

Dude, you're almost as retarded as them Kobe Bean-ers.

Nuff said.

*See Dude_27's comment for why you are retarded.

**To Dude_26, see why you are retarded by reading your own comments about Kobe.
