So Bo Jackson (All-Star in 2 professional sports, Heisman trophy winner, man who told 2 professional sports leagues what he would play and when he would do it, man who literally has legends and folk lore about his athletic talents from when he was young until when he ripped his own hip out of socket due to his strength and speed) is second to Lebron because Lebron is considered the greatest basketball player of HIS GENERATION and was offered college scholarships in another sport....that is some amazing logic you have there.

Just because Lebron said he felt he could play for the Cleveland Browns a few years ago doesn't mean he could have been an NFLer, much less dominate the game. His size and speed on a basketball court mean nothing on 100 yards of turf. Do you also feel Stockton would have been a HOF quarterback?

I think being non-injury prone is one component of being athletic.

Bo Jackson isn't a HOFer in the NFL or MLB. Lebron will be a HOFer in the NBA, without a doubt.

If that's all it takes I nominate Allen Iverson. By the OPs logic AI is tied with Lebron.

One of the best basketball palyers in recent memory. Check

Was a multi sport star in high school and was offered a football scholly on top of Basketball. Check

He was fast and can jump really high. Check

Pretty low standards to crown someone the best athelet ever.
