You'll Never Find A Better Athlete On Planet Earth Than This Big Fella Playing Badminton
Let's just all be honest with ourselves for a moment here. When you close your eyes and try to picture the prototypical badminton demon, chances are you're thinking of some tall, slender fella from China who glides across the court like water. Badminton isn't a game for units. The big boys always have so much mass to move around, and it's difficult for them to start and stop with the insane amount of quickness the game requires.
But every so often in life, a unicorn comes about. An elegant beast so unique and mystifying that he defies logic and common convention. Big Tasty over here shouldn't be the best badminton player on the planet. It should be possible for him to pull off half of these shots. But as the late, great Kevin Garnett once said, "anything is possible". And sometimes the only way to believe it is to see it in action.
He has lightning fast hands. He has the power of an ox, but the touch of a feather. The moment you try to test his athleticism, you're a dead man walking. You'd think an offensive lineman wouldn't be able to get to a drop shot when he's back at the baseline, but think again. Not only is he going to get there, but he'll get the next shot from his knees too. Just like every meal he's ever had, he doesn't need a partner to share the court with. He'll take care of the whole damn thing himself.
