Me thinks you folks doubting Mikesell as an athlete might need to understand what being an athlete really means. So if Mikesell ran faster than a young Paxson (very easily might have), jumped higher than him (Mikesell can get up), could hit a baseball better and farther, could play shortstop better than Paxson (Mikesell a heck of a baseball player), throw a football better, play golf better, play tennis better, etc. would Paxson still be a "better athlete" than Mikesell or maybe, just maybe, a far better basketball player? You need to decipher exactly what athleticism and what being an athlete really means and not get caught up in all the slobber regarding ESPN top ten dunks...
