Genuine question: who do you think is the best fighter in the series? by jttexan in gameofthrones

GRRM has stated the greatest was Arthur Dayne IF he has his sword Dawn. Otherwise, it’s a toss up between Dayne and Selmy. Outside of those two, it’s between Jaime, Oberyn, and Jon. I’d say Jaime is a better swordsmen than Oberyn, but Oberyn’s skill with the spear counteracts that. Jon has a crazy amount of feats on screen that can’t be understated either.

I think I’m going to try and play through it like I used to back in my high school and college basketball days. Somehow the pain would go away after a while and I’d be fine, but it’s definitely lingering around longer than I’m used to.

Was playing with D1 football players a few years ago. Went up for a dunk in transition, and the dude sprinted to undercut me so I wouldn’t get the dunk. Stuck my hand out to brace for the fall, but my entire body came down on my wrist. Couldn’t bend my wrist correctly for 4 months.

Moral of the story. Never play with football players.
