It seems like most people in general equate leaping ability with athleticism. I don't really get this though. Athleticism to me is more than justleaping ability. It should factor in someone's speed, quickness, agility, body control, strength, etc. Case in point, people saying Vince Carter/JasonRichardson is/was more athletic than somone like Kobe Bryant or Allen Iverson. Vince Carter is/was a better leaper than Kobe Bryant. That's about it. Kobeis quicker, faster, stronger, more agile and has better body control. Yet it seems like it's generally accepted here that Vince is more athletic.Iverson isquicker, faster, more agile and probably has about the same vertical leap as J-Rich, but I think most people here would say J-Rich is/was more athletic.
