That's what I don't like about these "analyst". Some of these guys that are talked about for being "great", are actually better athletes and than they are football players. They may be great athletes, but that doesn't make the great football players. You get what I'm saying? These people see speed, they see a star. Maybe they're getting something that I'm not, but I sure as hell don't what they see

Precisely.
Again, I'm really not trying to rag on LeBron, or anyone else for that matter. I just think there's more to it than "this guy's a freak athlete and has all the measurables and a will to win--no way he WOULDN'T be a star!" Just so much more to succeeding at the pro level in any sport than that. Most of it, stuff that us casual (and even the hardcore) fans never can and never will be able to see and/or appreciate.
But hey, if you can play, you can play. Some folks are just rare like that.
