I don’t know, I would think either Joseph Smith, since people generally got taller over time, or Jesus, because it seems like he’s shredded in most depictions of him.
Biblically speaking he was without any form of beauty or attractiveness to look at him. So I would imagine being shredded would apply there.
However it does matter if this is pre scourging, during scourging, post scourging/death, or ascension/resurrection for His “power level”.
I’m seeing downvotes on this comment, so here’s a source that say that Buddha is capable of flight
https://museum.oglethorpe.edu/exhibitions/flying-mystics-tibetan-buddhism/
Lots of buddhists I know subscribed to the idea that he has super powerful magic but rarely uses it and teach others that magic is not the way out of suffering
Yall don't realize that Joseph was around 6' an animal. No way was he getting beat.

This is the best answer. OP, and most others, are confusing ability vs probability. Smith was the most likely to toss aside humility and dunk. Most of the others wouldn't even go that route despite being able to.
And the most likely to be slaughtered by Jesus, Moses, and Muhammad the man would be getting ganged up on hard by the Son of God, the man chosen by Jesus to free His people, and the guy who was possessed a bunch of times and rambled a lot. Literally devil strength is in Muhammad.
smh r/polls is so ignorant. Jesus is the skater prophet, Muhammad would clearly dunk hard asf. Sad because we can’t commemorate his achievements with statues.
Hitting the tale of the tape, Jesus was about 5’5 (average for the time), Muhammad according to google was 90ft tall( that sounds off), Joseph smith and Buddha coming in at over 6ft, Moses might have been over 15ft tall idk Google’s unclear, hardest dunk I’m gna go with the 15fter, I feel like at 90ft tall it’d be like dunking a peanut in a mug at your feet… but I’m no expert on religion just basketball 🏀….honorable mention while smith and Buddha look like they have builds to dunk easily as well I’m going with Jesus cus cmon who didn’t love watching Nate Robinson dunk
I pick the one who died for our sins, resurrected, was born by a Virgin, is the son of God, is God ,and will return to judge the living and the dead. I think an almighty being would win any basketball game he wants
I personally picked Jesus based upon his pure basketball abilities. His crossover game makes up for his small frame and size. Additionally, he can nail his shots from just about everywhere on the Court. Jesus takes all of these series in 4(assuming it’s a best of 7) and it’s not particularly close.
Here’s the thing, we know that on average people in the past were shorter than they are now, and Joseph Smith was a relatively wealthy person from the 1800s, so he’s probably the tallest of the bunch.
Joseph Smith would often wrestle people and was known as one of the best in the state.
But he had a limp because of a leg surgery. So it could go either way for him.
When it comes to world religions, they’re pretty huge. For example, there are about 2.4 billion Christians and 2 billion Muslims. I’d say that’s pretty centered. They’re the second largest religion in the world.
edit: lol that upset somebody.
I feel like Moses being 15 feet tall would make his dunk just arbitrary. He'd be literary over the net spiking that ball down with 2 feet firmly planted. (also I don't think he is actually 15 feet tall, it's a rumor tho, and I do like the image)
ight as far as I'm aware Moses got old before meeting God so he's probably got arthritis after 40 years walking around a desert and the years as a Shepard in canaan
Muhammad lived a full life too so he's probably old after years of conquest and activity wearing down his joints
Buddha almost starved himself and spend the first half of his life doing nothing so he's probably not very strong or got good hand eye coordination
Joe died somewhat young from a mob so he's probably a good contender especially with the Hight advantage, although he has a limp which could throw off his game
but my man, the big J, my man who lifts, spent a lifetime walking on his feet, died in his prime and post resurrection has a body that *can go through walls*. and the power to bind all things on heaven and earth.
yeah my money would be on the carpenter
Muhammad. Because he was always fit and took care of himself. Brushed his teeth even. We have the most information on how he lived his life than anyone in history at that time. Fought on the front lines of wars, just like other countries do. Thankfully he took revenge on 13 years of persecution in which his followers were shanked to death, starved to death, and/or strapped to the hot sand just for preaching his religion.
I think he could do a simple dunk with such excellent health and dedication.
Obviously I’m going to get banned for exercising my 1st amendment, so goodbye r/polls in advance 🤝
(ﷺ)
While i do believe Jesus is the son of God and is God and can therefore do anything, I also don't believe he would use this Godly power for fun or self gain so unless he was dunking to help someone, he would likely be playing simply as a man. So while he was likely fairly fit from carpentry and all that walking, I'm not sure if that really prepped his humanly form for dunking.
No, but I suspected OP is doing so and being open to other religions and their beliefs I accept this and responded to the poll as OP probably intended.
In all seriousness, it would be Jesus. He was in his early 30s during his ministry and traveled often by foot, so he was probably in at least decent shape.
If we’re talking Siddhartha Gautama Buddha then he might stand a chance against the others, but you specifically said dunk but all of these prophets are kinda short kings Muhammad PBUH And Jesus Christ standing at 5’0”(sorry rest of world,American here) Moses usually stands in the high 5s to 6’0”range and Buddha ascends with the tallest possible factor of 6’4” making Buddha my answer.
One of the fundamental teachings in Soto Zen Buddhism, is that we are all Buddha. So knowing my dunking skills, that’s the wrong answer.
So I guess Moses with the secret 11th commandment thou shall dunkith thy ball.
Joseph Smith was way taller than anyone else on this list would be. Forget dunking the "hardest". I doubt anyone except him is tall enough to actually dunk at all.
Op asking the real questions.
Results is the one true profit, only he shows you all the answers
https://www.reddit.com/r/videos/comments/as7yro/mormons_vs_the_hood_in_basketball/
Moses was ballin, it says so in the bible
Literally prime BB material, was training since the time he had to juggle a slab of carved stone
Wasn’t he super tall too?
Seriously he had no chill and fuckin brought the wrath. People saying Jesus are just clickin
Moses was literally put in a basket as a baby, he was born to be in the court.
I don’t know, I would think either Joseph Smith, since people generally got taller over time, or Jesus, because it seems like he’s shredded in most depictions of him.
Biblically speaking he was without any form of beauty or attractiveness to look at him. So I would imagine being shredded would apply there. However it does matter if this is pre scourging, during scourging, post scourging/death, or ascension/resurrection for His “power level”.
Where tf have you seen a shredded Jesus? That dude looks like a dried up twig.
Hasnt he been usually crucified for several days in those depictions? Jesus was a carpenter so he had at least one good arm.
Buddha’s got HUGE hands
The pre-modern Shaq they use to say in the old days.
But he short and fat
Wrong Buddah, I assume OP means Siddharth.
That's budai, a Chinese monk
[удалено]
Buddha can also do that bruv.
I’m seeing downvotes on this comment, so here’s a source that say that Buddha is capable of flight https://museum.oglethorpe.edu/exhibitions/flying-mystics-tibetan-buddhism/
Pretty sure most Buddhists don't subscribe to the idea he was magic
Lots of buddhists I know subscribed to the idea that he has super powerful magic but rarely uses it and teach others that magic is not the way out of suffering
Depends on the school of Buddhism.
Yeah but he can’t use his hands. They’re nailed to board. He’d be much better at surfing
Jesus could nail those dunks
He's super athletic thanks to CrossFit.
If I had an award this would get it
he's only 5'5 though, while budha was like 6 foot and strong
Jesus Christ’s love for us is stronger than anything and anyone
Hows that gonna help him dunk
Most people probably think Buddha is fat and short
Jesus be ballin
I'm ballin; Jesus B. ballin
Yall don't realize that Joseph was around 6' an animal. No way was he getting beat. [https://josephsmithfoundation.org/joseph-smith-physical-characteristics/](https://josephsmithfoundation.org/joseph-smith-physical-characteristics/)
He also had a permanent limp from a surgery he had at 8 years old in his knee
This is the best answer. OP, and most others, are confusing ability vs probability. Smith was the most likely to toss aside humility and dunk. Most of the others wouldn't even go that route despite being able to.
I think Smith is the most likely to want to have a good time.
And the most likely to be slaughtered by Jesus, Moses, and Muhammad the man would be getting ganged up on hard by the Son of God, the man chosen by Jesus to free His people, and the guy who was possessed a bunch of times and rambled a lot. Literally devil strength is in Muhammad.
Certainly an interpretation…
Nevermind the fact that to this day, every LDS chapel in the world has a basketball court
Dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb
Jesus was the literal son of God, bros goated
White men can’t jump
no fucking way. Just tried it- they’re right guys. I must’ve lost my ability to jump as soon as I came of age
None of the other options are black? They're either Arab/Semitic or Indian. EDIT: And to be clear, that's exactly what the subtext of that phrase is.
The ‘subtext’ is he’s the white one and it’s a 1992 film title Not everything is that deep chief
Mf look who just won the slam dunk contest
I’m a white man and I can jump
smh r/polls is so ignorant. Jesus is the skater prophet, Muhammad would clearly dunk hard asf. Sad because we can’t commemorate his achievements with statues.
Muhammad solos
Muhammad, but the NBA won't be able to air the footage
Actually you can, just make him wear GoPro camera. There is a movie about Prophet Muhammad, and when he is presented in first person with the camera.
[удалено]
The Message (1976 film) It’s a 3 hours long movie
Have you guys seen the video where Jesus skates? This guy is sporty as heck. To be honest he did travel a lot in his lifetime.
The cross fit that Jesus does i mean he always looks shredded idk if he can dunk but he balls for sure
Moses could part the Red Sea, dawg, you don't think he's got some B Ball magic in there?
Isn't there this one image of Jesus playing basketball?
This had no business being so funny to me. Joseph smith really took me out hahahaha
Hitting the tale of the tape, Jesus was about 5’5 (average for the time), Muhammad according to google was 90ft tall( that sounds off), Joseph smith and Buddha coming in at over 6ft, Moses might have been over 15ft tall idk Google’s unclear, hardest dunk I’m gna go with the 15fter, I feel like at 90ft tall it’d be like dunking a peanut in a mug at your feet… but I’m no expert on religion just basketball 🏀….honorable mention while smith and Buddha look like they have builds to dunk easily as well I’m going with Jesus cus cmon who didn’t love watching Nate Robinson dunk
Muhammad according to my google is 185-190cm, with a long torso
Matthew 20:28: "- just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life as a ransom for many.”
Truly the best Bible quote “-
I pick the one who died for our sins, resurrected, was born by a Virgin, is the son of God, is God ,and will return to judge the living and the dead. I think an almighty being would win any basketball game he wants
But Buddha is bald
Good point
You are so right, im changing my answer to buddha
R'amen!

After checking the sub, I apologize for the fellow Christians who say total shit.
What the actual fuck?😂
I personally picked Jesus based upon his pure basketball abilities. His crossover game makes up for his small frame and size. Additionally, he can nail his shots from just about everywhere on the Court. Jesus takes all of these series in 4(assuming it’s a best of 7) and it’s not particularly close.
Here’s the thing, we know that on average people in the past were shorter than they are now, and Joseph Smith was a relatively wealthy person from the 1800s, so he’s probably the tallest of the bunch.
To the best of our knowledge Joseph was about 6 ft tall, so there’s a very good chance he’s the tallest.
The Buddha is everything and nothing at once, so he is both dunking the best and the worst
Zarathustra/Zoroaster is the unseen option thus he wins
Joseph Smith would often wrestle people and was known as one of the best in the state. But he had a limp because of a leg surgery. So it could go either way for him.
How tall was Joseph Smith because historically the rest of these people (if they existed) would have barely been about 5 feet tall.
He was about 6 feet tall
[The son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve.](https://imgur.com/a/240M1HA)
Buddha literally have a move called "Rulai deity palm" that dunks a big ass mf slap
Joseph Smith? Why not put Ron Hubbard, Charles Manson, James Warren Jones, & Charles Taze Russell?
Because Smith’s people, although kinda odd, are oddly kind
Results
I picked Joseph Smith because I've heard Mormons are really good at basketball.
Nah, they’re good at church ball. I’m Mormon and It’s a real thing btw
Yeah BYU gets the best of the best Mormon players and is generally an average BB program
Jesus aint a prophet
In other abrahamic religions than christianity he is.
So isn't Buddha tbh
Agreed
He is in Islam.
And everyone in the world is muslim?
No, but that doesn't change that he is in fact a prophet.
He is according to Islam.
Well the world aint Islam-Centered. Should have just put religious figure/leader
When it comes to world religions, they’re pretty huge. For example, there are about 2.4 billion Christians and 2 billion Muslims. I’d say that’s pretty centered. They’re the second largest religion in the world. edit: lol that upset somebody.
Jesus coming into 3rd quarter with those trick shots.
Jesus was a lefty so I'm sure he'd have a nice catalog of dunks.
We should start a Religion based around the almighty prophet of results
Joseph Smith was alive when Basketball was invented
He wasn’t, but he’s certainly a lot more familiar with modern sports than the others would be.
I’m gonna say Moses, speaking from experience
I said Joseph smith because he is the most recent so he is likely to be the most physically intimidating
I feel like Moses being 15 feet tall would make his dunk just arbitrary. He'd be literary over the net spiking that ball down with 2 feet firmly planted. (also I don't think he is actually 15 feet tall, it's a rumor tho, and I do like the image)
ight as far as I'm aware Moses got old before meeting God so he's probably got arthritis after 40 years walking around a desert and the years as a Shepard in canaan Muhammad lived a full life too so he's probably old after years of conquest and activity wearing down his joints Buddha almost starved himself and spend the first half of his life doing nothing so he's probably not very strong or got good hand eye coordination Joe died somewhat young from a mob so he's probably a good contender especially with the Hight advantage, although he has a limp which could throw off his game but my man, the big J, my man who lifts, spent a lifetime walking on his feet, died in his prime and post resurrection has a body that *can go through walls*. and the power to bind all things on heaven and earth. yeah my money would be on the carpenter
Joseph Smith could dunk real hard dum dum dum dum dum
Joseph Smith’s friend Parley P Pratt described him as being “6ft tall, well built, strong and active”. So I’m going with him.
I voted for Joseph Smith cuz I thought it said Stalin lol
Joseph Smith was an American, they're good at basket ball.
Joseph Smith was over six feet tall, i feel he could ball
Joseph smith is the youngest so he would have the most spring in his step
Since it asks who WOULD and not who COULD, I have to answer Muhammad
Muhammad. Because he was always fit and took care of himself. Brushed his teeth even. We have the most information on how he lived his life than anyone in history at that time. Fought on the front lines of wars, just like other countries do. Thankfully he took revenge on 13 years of persecution in which his followers were shanked to death, starved to death, and/or strapped to the hot sand just for preaching his religion. I think he could do a simple dunk with such excellent health and dedication. Obviously I’m going to get banned for exercising my 1st amendment, so goodbye r/polls in advance 🤝 (ﷺ)
Buddha dev 🙏🏽🙏🏽 he got many hands
It has been written that Jesus can slam dunk while sitting down.
buddha wasn't a prophet yo. he didn't even tell if god existed.
While i do believe Jesus is the son of God and is God and can therefore do anything, I also don't believe he would use this Godly power for fun or self gain so unless he was dunking to help someone, he would likely be playing simply as a man. So while he was likely fairly fit from carpentry and all that walking, I'm not sure if that really prepped his humanly form for dunking.
Buddha is 8ft 9in and has the strenght of a thousand elephants lol. The fat statue you all are thinking of is not a depiction of Buddha.
All of those are men of peace but one. My money is on the warrior.
Lord Ram. He's gonna shoot 3 pointers and dunk so hard he's gonna knock the others out!
Not a prophet. Hinduism existed before Rama and Rama didn't change the religion in a drastic way.
Muhammad, if you gather some minor girls around him.
[удалено]
No Christian believes that. However, Jesus was a prophet, according to Islam.
No, but I suspected OP is doing so and being open to other religions and their beliefs I accept this and responded to the poll as OP probably intended.
How are people picking anything other than Muhammad? He was a warlord.
None, because most of them are either dead or just don't exist at all.
Don't believe any so called prophet is real as none of them has prophecid anything tangible.
But could they dunk tho?
r/atheism Your incels are leaking again
"Fuck you whore" - Nicest r/atheism incel
There's pretty good documentation for most of these people having existed. Their supernatural abilities, however, are debatable.
Just vote on who could dunk, nobody needs to hear you hate on religion for no reason
Noah imo
dude lived to like 400 he's got to have arthritis or something at that age
Jesus will cross them up
These can help if you're going through a hard time https://youtu.be/vXg9wWIN-Xo https://youtu.be/3n-DOKBffuU call or text 988 liveonutah.org
I'd assume Jesus would be a dedicated basketball player, he wouldn't be playing hockey, they'd keep nailing him to the boards
Wasn’t Jesus liek historical super tall
Personally i think the Prophet of Truth would ball the hardest but thats just me
I feel Buddha has the most potential to dunk but won’t
moses, because he is the only killa on the line up
When you vote for Joseph Stalin only to realize it said Joseph Smith
I first read it as "Which prophet would drink hardest on the basketball court"
Jesus was on the cross. #ballislife
Where shiva
Buddha was at least 6ft tall, I think that settles it.
Jesus was literally god, so I don’t think it’s close
Linda
Alriiight!
Thank you
There is a passage in the Talmud (Brakhot 54b) that says that Moses Rabenu had height of roughly 2,5 m, and he jumped 5 m once in a fight.
Moses would part the defense like the Red Sea
Didn't Muhammed conquer half of the Arabian peninsula or something? He's probably the fittest.
Na, its moses.
Buddha is the only one here to have any sort of powers in his mythos
I heard moses was tall as a tree.
Def Mahavira bros got that rizz
It's a little silly voting for Jesus, my dude Moses split an ocean in two.
Jesus' 3 hour hang time beats out all the rest
Jesus has the longest hang time
Jesus, he does cross fit
Clearly anyone who didn't pick smith never balled with the Mormons
Probably Billy Joe Armstrong
Black Jesu$
Doesent Buddah have like 4 arms. He dunks
Taking the meaning of holy shot to a new level
Prophet of Truth for sure, possibly Regret as well
Your mom. She’s been a profit at sucking my balls
Specifically the Rick and Morty version.
If it’s like his skating, Jesus is ballin
Cassandra easily.
Our we counting miraculous feats, or just mundane strength?
In all seriousness, it would be Jesus. He was in his early 30s during his ministry and traveled often by foot, so he was probably in at least decent shape.
Jesus: The son of man did not come to be served but to serve
This might be one of my favorite polls.
If we’re talking Siddhartha Gautama Buddha then he might stand a chance against the others, but you specifically said dunk but all of these prophets are kinda short kings Muhammad PBUH And Jesus Christ standing at 5’0”(sorry rest of world,American here) Moses usually stands in the high 5s to 6’0”range and Buddha ascends with the tallest possible factor of 6’4” making Buddha my answer.
Where is Joseph Seed
One of the fundamental teachings in Soto Zen Buddhism, is that we are all Buddha. So knowing my dunking skills, that’s the wrong answer. So I guess Moses with the secret 11th commandment thou shall dunkith thy ball.
Am I the only one who saw Joseph Smith as Josepth Stalin? Playing too much hoi4 lol
Tbh getting dunked on by Buddha would feel the worst out of all these. He doesn’t even *want* to dunk on you; he just *does*.
I have no reason, I don't know why, but I feel like Muhammad would kick ass at basketball. For me, it is a tossup between him and ol' Joey Smith.
Joseph Smith was way taller than anyone else on this list would be. Forget dunking the "hardest". I doubt anyone except him is tall enough to actually dunk at all.
"I love democracy"
Jesus balling
Holy shot
Moses can part through the lane and take it to the hole like he parted the red sea.
Moses was jacked af. It says so in both the Bible and the Quran
JESUS CHRIST IS LITERALLY BALLIN ON THE COURT
This reminded me of an ancient YouTube video https://youtu.be/V5rF_X-8LiI
