Of course JD is an athlete. You don't have to be in shape to be an athlete.

Athlete: noun a person trained or gifted in exercises or contests involving physical agility, stamina, or strength; a participant in a sport, exercise, or game requiring physical skill.

Well said Schneed. I agree with you 100%. The guy has more talent then 99% of the world. Could you just imagine if he took his game seriously like Tiger? He would have been a legend. Just because someone is out of shape doesn’t mean there not coordinated or skilled enough to be considered an athlete. There are millions of skinny people out there that couldn't even jump a rope. Is someone more of an athlete because they might look the part more then someone like JD? I'll take the fat guy that can play on my team every time over some guy with a six pack that can't.
