Kevin Garnett is the prototype for the NBA player of the future. He's already one of the greatest players to have played the game.
Steve Nash is the most unathletic player in the league.
Kenyon Martin is the 2nd best player in the Eastern Conference.

Mick Jagger is in better shape than far too many NBA players. It's up in the air whether the same can be said of Keith Richards.
I was a skinny, scrawny guy. I stuttered horrendously, couldn't speak at all. I was a very shy, reserved player and a very shy, reserved person. I found a safe place in life in basketball.
