Dr. Pat Davidson joins Combo’s Court for a wide-ranging conversation on sports, athleticism, training, and human performance. Dr. Pat breaks down Michael Jordan’s extraordinary athleticism, his transition from basketball to baseball and back, and the MJ vs. LeBron debate from an athletic perspective. They debate LeBron vs. Bo Jackson, which sport produces the best athletes, and what makes legends like Wilt Chamberlain, Bill Russell, Dominique Wilkins, Dennis Rodman, and Bo Jackson such physical outliers.
The conversation also dives into whether analytics have helped or hurt basketball, how elite players can beat the numbers, Steph Curry vs. Magic Johnson, and how analytics have changed both basketball and baseball.
Dr. Pat also discusses the science of athletic longevity, whether athletes can continue building muscle later in life, how training and body-fat standards have evolved, bodybuilding vs. strongman training, and why simply playing more can sometimes be essential for athletic development.
Plus, Combo and Dr. Pat get into Ronnie Coleman’s incredible career, Ronnie vs. Arnold Schwarzenegger in the bodybuilding GOAT debate, how Coleman became dominant while working a full-time job, the evolution of human performance, and more!
From Jordan, LeBron and Bo Jackson to Ronnie Coleman, analytics, longevity and the limits of human performance, this episode of Combo’s Court goes far beyond the typical sports debate.
