[QUOTE="WesterveltVictoryCigar, post: 1238781, member: 3734"] I would tie explosiveness most closely with leaping ability, particularly being able to leap with little to no run-up. And that's where I think Tupper was going, too. I agree being explosive is different than athletic, there are many aspects to "athleticism", could be raw strength, speed (Dee), agility, etc. And yes Bertrand is explosive, sure. Even by your definition, he was i.e. when he took over the Braggin Rights game. He just didn't do it very often. It seems like your definition would be more along the lines of people saying someone has a "high motor", i.e. they give extreme effort more regularly then many players. I'd also say someone can take over a game as an "explosive scorer" but that wouldn't necessarily cause me to call them "explosive". For example, Andy Kaufmann. [/QUOTE]
