Mashup: Which NBA Player Would Make The Best Keeper?

Featured on MIASPORTSGUY.COM

In the first part of our Mashup series, we take a look at which NBA player would make the best soccer goalie.

Ideal Attributes : Incredible agility…Great hands…Reaction time…Wing span…Footwork…Vertical leap

Shawn Marion (Mavericks)

Size: 6′7″, 228

Marion is one of a kind. He is scary fast for a man of his size and doesn’t lose any speed when he changes direction. His agility is astounding. The Matrix was hands-down the biggest freak in the NBA from an athletic standpoint, until a boy named Lebron came into the league. There is no question he could thrive at most sports, especially soccer.

Lebron James (Heat)

Size: 6′8″, 260

Lebron is going to be in the conversation when it comes to any sport really. He is that sensational of an athlete. He is the perfect athlete. Can he be as agile as a guy like Marion at over 260 pounds? I would love to see him try.

Rajon Rondo (Celtics)

Size: 6′1″ 175

Rondo reminds me of a cat. He is springy, and accelerates at what I used to think was an impossible speed. He is shorter than the aforementioned players but makes up for that with his monster hands and condor wing-span. He would swallow the goal up with his feet.

Winner : Shawn Marion . He is the perfect combination of length, agility, and speed. Nobody would get the ball past the Matrix .
