re: LeBron James is the best athlete to ever live

I've been saying this for years. Nobody has ever been that fast, with that explosiveness, and that change of direction at that size. I use to think he could have been the best TE, WR, or DE who ever played if he had dedicated himself early.
And I used to swing from his nuts like nobody's business. But I pretty much can't stand him now. He has his head so far up his own a-hole, it's nauseating. I heard a clip today and it was nothing but "I" "I", "my home court," not one "we" or "our." And it's just so ungenuine. You can tell he doesn't even believe his own bullshite, but he's so insecure that he has to say it to try to convince himself.
He's weak. He showed it in the Celtics series one year, but then it was obvious as he totally went ghost in the Finals that first season against the Mavs. He's a great, great basketball player--one of the best 5 or so who ever lived. I still (somewhat begrudgingly) pull for him--I've been on that train too long to bail now. And I still think he's the best athlete who ever lived. But I don't think he has the mental makeup to have played in the NFL.

The RB from Georgia who wore #34 was pretty damn good. Perhaps you should talk to your old man and ask him why didn't he nail your maw in the back seat of that Oldsmobile sooner. That way, you could have seen him play

You are the greatest troll thread ever.
5'1" 290 lbs. Never will get laid. So is your life.

Coming from an Auburn fan, this means a lot. I've long considered Bo to be hands down the best athlete to walk the Earth. But Lebron sees Bo's athleticism & raises him 6 inches & 30 lbs. Anybody that can't see this rudiculousness has no idea WTF they're looking at.
And I don't want to take anything away from Bo, but its just undeniable

He already doesn't finish through defense at the rim anywhere near as easily as he used to and has started to make clear adjustments to his game. He's played as the roll man in the PnR way more this year than he ever did before and is insanely effective in that role. This bballbreakdown video covers a lot of that.
That along with hopefully re-discovering his jumpshot will keep him relevant going forward.

As a LeBron fan I shutter to think about how pathetic it will probably be as he falls off. Nothing about his game gives me much hope towards the end, at least from a scoring standpoint. He could turn into a 10 ppg, 260 lb Jason Kidd though, which I would gladly take.

It takes heart to be the best athlete ever...not just size and skill.

Usain Bolt's athleticism is ridiculous too.

It is crazy if you think about it. I would expect only short guys to win the high jump just like I would expect only 7 footers to win limbo competitions.

besides Jacob Hester you mean

NO. Is he up there sure.
Dion Sanders played two Major League Sports
Shaq in his day was crazy athletic and he is 7' and 300lbs
Bo Jackson has already been said, Hershal Walker was ok.
Dave Winfield had offers from all three major sports and he chose MBL
Ted Williams went to war twice - He first enlisted in the Navy to serve in World War II in 1942 and did not return to baseball until 1946. Then, at the age of 34, he was recalled to active duty in the Korean War. This time he served as a pilot in the Marines and received an "Air Medal" for a heroic act in battle.

Tedd Williams is definitely at top of a list that must include Jim Thorpe, Jim Brown and Jesse Owens

Wilt is the GOAT & I agree ,but he was more 240ish at Kansas & bulked up later on in the NBA.

Bo isn't in the conversation.

I think it's a toss between Deion and and handful of GOAT discussion NBA players
Besides NBA basketball playing cornerback in the NFL requires the most athleticism of any position in any major sport
I probably give the nod to Deion because I'm willing to bet he could've played in the NBA had he dedicated himself to that sport. He already played MLB and was the best cornerback to ever live. I doubt ANY of the GOAT basketball players could've played corner in the NFL.
ETA: and correct, no running back is in the convo. Corner is the toughest position to play in all of sports.

Alistair Overeem is a better athlete at a similar size to Lebron
