Let us not forgot that the OT contains the greatest collection of athletes ever assembled.
I am confident we could field a Champions League quality side with the prowess of the OT ballas.
For real though, soccer is so much more than just pure athleticism. I know it is totally different, but think about baseball where the pure athletes are not always the best. Soccer involves a high level of skill and technique (unless you play the last reign of Stoke).

I agree that there are some athletes overlooked soccer because of its lack of prominence, but people like Lebron, Garnett and others would probably not make it. They are too tall, which would make them clumsy on the ball. If a soccer player is 6'4, he's considered a giant. The players in other sports that are likely to be good at soccer are undersized point guards, wide receivers or cornerbacks. Even if they played their whole lives, with the way we teach technical skills, they would probably be middling pros.
Soccer is a game of skill and technique. That is in addition to all the other natural athletic talents that separate good players in other sports from average players. If you aren't good on the ball, I mean in the top 1%, you probably aren't going to make it. Even if you can control the ball, if you don't have the athleticism required for big leagues, like endurance, speed, strength, you probably won't make it.
