Of the big 4 sports: MLB, NFL, NBA, NHL who do you consider to be the least athletic person to ever make it to one of these leagues? They didn't have to be in the league for a long time, just made it on to a roster.

Some people confusing "fat" with "not athletic".

There are fat guys who are incredible athletes. Maybe even more than skinny guys when you consider that they do it all while carrying weight.


I'm thinking the best answers are probably going to be a few basketball players who made it from height alone, or maybe a tall pitcher who could do literally nothing else whatsoever.

Steve Balboni. Dude has been retired for over 25 years and his name is still used by announcers today as the euphemism for slow. He was even slow for a white man, having white announcers saying "gat dayum he slow!!"

He was so slow, he was the first player I ever saw teams not even bother having someone hold him at first worrying about him stealing. :heh:

I was 13 and knew in my heart of hearts I was faster than him. :mjlol:

John Olerud was possibly the slowest baseball player I've seen in my life.

Mark Jackson was also a pretty terrible athlete.

Tom Brady is also a horrible athlete. But dude can play (obviously).

Hockey?? I forget how to spell his name, but Jeff Beukeboom, old defense man who played on a lot of good teams but could barely skate. He was known for being big, slow and very physical.
