I wouldn't disagree with your statement, but the comparison isn't a fair one given the fact that B-balls and spears are nowhere near as heavy as a shotput and spears are designed for travelling distance.
(Even given the fact that I've seen shotput throws that heavily outstrip basketball ones.)
True the sai doesn't weigh much, but the fact that the sheer force of it's impact into the gun berrel did what it did.... you don't through a toothpick throw a lightpole without some strength on ya.
In any case it's only one example of Elektra's strength, other would also support she's vastly strong..
Or maybe that's a bad way of putting it. She can do superhuman feats based on her ability to chi manip.
Stopping sams strength, moving faster than the eye can track 10 feat underwater with no leverage, blocking machine gun fire without spinning her blades, and even deflecting/richocheting gunfire with her bare hand... She simply has superior feats to Blade in every category aside from simply being a vampire. 😬
