Combine Athletic Test Results

Small hands can only mean one thing.

It means he most-certainly doesnt have cancer, seeing as his face is probably much bigger.

I bet he has a small ***** too.

You are thinking of the shoe size correlation.




I wear a size 14 in case you are wondering.

And don't forget Kevin Durant had zero bench press reps as well. Interesting for bigs, but for wings there are more important factors than benching 185 lbs.

just wondering, do they do 185 or 225?

It's 185lbs. It is still embarrassing that some guys can't bench 185 even though they are suppose to be some of the best athletes in the world. Especially since they know it is going to be part of the evaluation. A player's strength is important especially when the playoffs come, however I would agree that bench pressing isn't the best way to measure overall strength or is even the most important type of strength.

yea most players start lifting early in high school. i'd assume with five or six years of strenght training most would be able to do atleast one rep but agree its not a real important test.

I think the combine would be funner if they had the combine numbers on some lighted board and they had some type of elimination like survivor or some other cheesy reality show. The losers would have to go to the Clippers

185. I know, weak, right?

Poor Kyle Singler probably would have been a lottery pick last year. Only 30" max vertical leap can not help his cause.

Carlos Boozer's "push in the back" rebounding technique would disagree with you.

Do they ever test how well a player can yell or moan? If so I'll bet Boozer killed it on that one.

Hands are more important for big men because it helps them catch and control the ball. For guards it doesn't really matter that much. It is supposedly a detriment to Rondo's shooting.

It's always been quoted as saying that John Stockton's huge hands helped him quite a bit. It's different for everybody obviously, I'm just picking an example close to home for us.

Small gloves?
