I was thinking about this in class today and thought it might be an interesting discussion topic (of course I could be wrong).
I’d like to see how strong a lot of these guys are, but Shaq gets my vote. I think it’d be fun to watch a 300+ 7+ foot tall player bench, squat, deadlift, power clean, etc.
I worked as a player liason at a tennis event in 2001. Serena played and it was my job to take her to practice.
On the way to the courts she was tired and seemed like a huge effort to put one foot in front of the other whilst walking.
The second she hit the court, she trained like an animal. The intensity she had on the court was amazing. I don’t think that same intensity can be witnessed in her practice today though.

I’m totally with you, any top level sprinter, some of the strongest and obviously fastest athletes in the world for their size, remarkable. I’d like to see especially Asafa Powell, after running 9.77 twice this season and most sub 10s in a season, I’d love to see what exactly he does throughout a week of training.
