That answer has no in-depth thinking. Broaden the scope fellas.

I listed athletes like Wade, Vick, Hester, Bush, and Iverson because of their size and world class quickness and lateral movement. It'd be foolish and arrogant to think all of our NBA/NFL/MLB players would easily dominate because that will never be true. But imagine all these NFL RBs, CBs and NBA PGs grew up playing soccer instead of their respective sport. I don't think I'm crazy for thinking CP3 and Barry Sanders could be world class soccer players if that had been the only sport they played.

I still disagree. They were made for basketball. Maybe world class goalies.
