Reminds me of the time I had an argument with a guy who said if he had 10 tries to get a basket on Jordan in his prime he would get one. I was like, dude, you wouldn't even get a shot off.
Always cracks me up when people try and say Alabama could beat the bears or UConn could beat the Pistons. Shows a complete lack of understanding just how elite these guys are.
When I was in HS my town played against a running back named Keith Elias. He went to Princeton on scholarship and had a cup of coffee with the Colts. He ran for 5 TDs and well over 200 yards. The guy was so much better than anyone else out there. It wasn't even close.
