100 mph fastball.  I could play college baseball!   I'm sure some NAIA or Div. III team would have me.   

[MLB 51]

I went with the 4.4 40. I'm too old for contact sports, but I could still run track.

Maybe I should have voted for Golf.

[Big Red 40]

Golf is the only sport I could still make money at, at my age . Lol

[JJ Husker]

Thanks for leaving me no choice. I have to go with the 100 mph fastball since I can already do the other 3

Definitely the 4.4. Short golf game doesn't help me when I've only played the game once (i.e. it might take me 10 hits to get the ball on the green). Dunking doesn't help me when no one watches the WNBA. Throwing a baseball 100mph could be handy but I'd have to convince someone to let me play. I'm guessing a minor league team would take me.

The 4.4 is versatile. There are a lot of Olympic sports I could try to do, and it'd be in the news because I'm ancient for an Olympian.

4.4 for me.  Hell, I'd even take a 7 second 40.

I changed my vote to short game.  I could get down to a low single digit handicap!

I don't understand why more people aren't picking dunk a basketball. If you're a golfer, then I understand picking the short game. Makes sense. But I'd pick dunk and it isn't even close.

Been there, done that.  When I was a freshman in college I could take two steps from the free throw line and jam it with both hands.  So there's that.

Short game.  I have no use for the other 3.

I would say since most people can’t run the length of a basketball court full speed 50 times a game without dying , can’t play defense , or make a high percentage of any other shots . I don’t think dunking  alone would get anyone a paycheck from the NBA . 

With Reasonably accurate  drives,  and a great short game you could make good money in tournaments  . You could do it til you were 80 too .

Fair point. I understand your reasoning. I feel confident in saying you are in the minority though of people on this board that can or could dunk.

I'll give anyone that picked golf the benefit of the doubt.

 

Maybe I'm in the minority, but I didn't pick mine based off money. I just based it off of what would be cool to brag about. You could play pickup basketball into your late 30s or early 40s. It didn't specifically say you could dunk over someone, but it didn't say you couldn't either. Dunking on someone in a pickup game would give you more "street cred" among your friends than any of the other three.

For the sake of full disclosure, I'm about 40 lbs heavier now than I was then.  Even with a running start,  I doubt if I could jam a tennis ball with one hand now.  #GravityWins
