    I actually have no real problems with the list. I expected to see a horse or a golfer on there, but minus that nothing really stuck out at me as ridiculous.

    I'm thinking the same. The only thing that rubbed me the wrong way was the user comments about mayweather lol

    Why Lebron Jasmes on there ? Dont get me wrong in a few years maybe but right know I think there are better NBA players that should be on that list maybe Kobe Bryant. Even thoiugh I hate Kobe Bryant he should have made the list. What about Tiger Woods he just won the U.S. Open on one leg.

    If A-Rod is #10 on the list with no other baseball players ahead of him, shouldnt that make him THE most athletic baseball player? Not 'one of the most athletic' as they worded it?

    Im not sure if this list is as much based on skill as pure athletics. Lebron is an athletic specimen.

    Because the list is "best athletes," not "best sports players." Were it the latter, LeBron would be nowhere near this list. (In a just world, anyway. He really should play for Detroit, he's a bigger fraud than that entire roster.)

    Yeah I saw he was #10. If they are basing it on pure athleticism my vote goes to Gary Matthews or Torii Hunter.

    Haha, you think Arod is more athletic? We are talking about the same guy who was moved to 3rd base because he got too big for SS right?

    Haha, actually Im a Torii Hunter fan. Got the chance to meet him quite a few times when he was with Minny (they train in Ft. Myers where Im from).

    Gary Matthews is just a freak of nature and has the most wicked hops Ive ever seen for a baseball player.

    Hard to not like Hunter.

    If GMJ's bat would just match his athletic ability he'd be well worth the 10 mill the Angels are giving him...He is fun to watch in the OF though.
