re: How fast is LeBron?

i highly doubt lebron would/could ever crack a 4.5 40. probably in the 4.6 range

AI in his prime could run 4.3 easily

i just don't see a 245lb lebron james beating percy harvin, pat white, etc in a 40 yard dash. but maybe he is just a freak athlete and can run a sub-4.5 40

see vernon davis.

LeBron is the best athlete on the plant, any sport considered. I say 4.48 at 265 lb

IDK. That is a pretty damn strong statement.

I don't know a shite ton about soccer, but they have some elite ones. Also all the Olympic decathelon guys. I do believe he one of the best though, but that is strong. What about a guy like AD or Vernon Davis?

There's a reason sprinters aren't usually above 6'5, taller people generally have better top speed due to longer stride length but slower acceleration. Plus, I think basketball players on the whole tend have to train for endurance (as opposed to say, football) due to the nature of the sport, which requires you to move around constantly for extended periods of time.

That being said, Lebron is an absolute physical anomaly, so i say he runs mid to low 4.6s with a bit of training (with the speediest)PGs in the league running around low 4.5s to high 4.4s).
