New thread, new thread, bring it in.

I can only assume that previous thread chose to compare Lebron James
to Alex Nord because, Nord is one of the best & most athletic players
in our sport right?

Now I posit this question:
Is Dave Popiel of not a more athletic ultimate player than Alex Nord?

I would say Popes is faster. Debate accordingly.

I would say Popes is 1 inch taller (Dave=6' 5", Nord according to
Sockeye website is 6'4"), & both weigh 180-185lbs. Not really open
for debate.

I would also say Popes can jump higher & or plain ol' get higher,
however Nord might have advantage as far as reading the disc.

Now granted Nord's throws are better, along with field smarts &
experience (ie, knowing when to cut etc), but that is not the issue, I
am just talking pure athleticism.

Would I be too far off base to say that Popes is also faster than Beau
Kittredge? Beau is definitley quicker, but what about a 40 race?

This is definitely the gayest I have ever been on rsd, good for me.

I didn't bother reading your post since it's too long and stupid, but
judging by the title I'm going to have to go in this order:

Lebron
Bo*
Pope Jon Paul (in his prime obviously)
Nord
Pope Bendict


*I would have put Coy and Vance lower, but put Luke even with Lebron.

I think I would be remiss in omitting Chase Sparling-Beckley from this
argument, so lets add him in making this thread: Popes vs Lebron vs
Nord vs Beau.

While we are at it, who would win in a fight Popes & Beau vs Chase &
Nord? I'd pay to watch that.

Yes, Popes is fast. Beau if hands down the fast person in ultimate.
The only person to be remotely close in the game is probably Zip.
Both are great players but Beau is an athlete of another kind. But
Popes is however a better thrower. Luckily we didn't have to choose
last year. We could have them both.

Chase would probably win in a fight, but if your talking the ability
to go up in the air, I'd have my money on the other 3 before him.

Hensley? He drives real fast, and he's kind of a tramp. That must
count for something.

Metaknight? Way too slow.

My fantasy Smash Ultimate team:

Sonic - Probably good at running puke.
Falcon - Fast, tall, good ups. Might get handblocked a lot for
announcing "Falcon FLICK!" before throwing.
Pit - Someone to bring down the floaty garbage.
Link - Probably the best breaks, given all his boomerang practice.
Ice Climbers - There are two of them. Probably pretty handy in a cup.
DK - Stifling mark, huge throws.
Ness - Psychokinesis, need I say more? Plus you need a token hat-
wearing player (baseball cap, not racing helmet, angel wreath, elf-hat
or parka hood).

Discuss.

You need more speed...maybe zelda/sheik. And psychokinesis is a
spirit foul.

Ted, you're bullshitting here. No way I take Chase in a fight, he's
too good natured and soft. I don't think Beau would fight you, but if
you cornered him I assume he'd be dangerous to handle. My vote is on
Beau. No clue on how Zip gets when he's angry, maybe we need Deb's
imput on that...

I see your point. I'll take Ryan Carrington over the 4.

Just ask Dusty
