Lebron James

1300+ votes, and Messi is winning here

And bigray says they two never get mentioned together lol

Come to Europe or Asia and you'll barely even hear about Lebron James lol

[Trimss]

Cristiano Ronaldo is more athletic. Faster too. No competition here

That's from 2012, not that it really makes much of a difference and some dude just wrote that article, you can probably find another 100 articles about them with different opinions.

I am just saying that they're saying Lebron is basketball's Messi. There is no article that says that Messi is football's Lebron

[classthe_king]

"Messi can take over a game far more, in the sense that there are 3-4 goals a game in soccer, and he usually has an impact on 2-3"

just the difference of sports.

Soccer is literally just who's the quickest with their feet. Basketball has so many other factors going on and to try and act like Messi is comparable to Lebron is a joke. Yeah Lebron isn't going to be bigger in Europe or Asia because he playsin fucking America. No shit, Lebron is still a better athlete than him

[classthe_king]

There's more to athleticism than speed? Or else we'd just declare Usain Bolt the best athlete and move on

[SajN]

OP isn't asking about who's the better athlete tho.
Only if anyone else is mentioned in the same conversation as Lebron, and the answer to that is of course, yes. Plenty. Messi is definitely one of them. You can say no all you want, but it's the truth. But as I said, Americans... they don't know what's going on other places anyway

I am not gonna post more. What's the point? I don't care that much lol. I'll worship Messi, you can go and worship Lebron.

Strong knowledge of football.

Jumps, speed, endurance, those are all part of athleticism. Cristiano Ronaldo jumps really high, he runs way faster than Lebron could ever dream of and a football game requires more endurance than a basketball game.

Cristiano Ronaldo is thus a better athlete.

Speed, quickness and endurance...yeah

Horrible logic when you account for how much bigger Lebron is and what he's doing at his size is far more impressive :''''''(

Plus Lebron is stronger than him in every aspect and strength is also a part of athleticism

sorry

Lol but you were the one comparing sizes and weight and saying they don't compare right and downplaying football players? Now I should not take sizes into account because Lebron is bigger?

Actually, Cristiano is smaller and he still manages to jump over the goalpost which is impressive for a footballer. So what he does with his size is more impressive.

Cool, Lebron won at one aspect which is strenght (which could be debated anyway, since Cristiano has more strenght in his legs than Lebron)
He can't compare to Cristiano man take the L

[Trimss]

I bet you guys think soccer is a harder sport to play than hockey?

That's another debate.

[classthe_king]

what lol


I was comparing sizes to show how they aren't even in the same league as Lebron

A 6'1" 180 pound player vs. a 6'8" 250 pound player? It's not even a comparison

Being smaller helps you to jump higher lol do you even physics

L <----This is yours

[Trimss]

I bet the big show from wwe is more athletic than all of those soccer players you mentioned.

Ignorance at its finest bro.

Being big mean athletic for you? Or does being able to fight mean athletic for you? Define being athletic. Football players have more endurance or speed than most of the players you have mentioned. Even more than Hockey players. Football players run more than 10km a game on average, do you realize how much that is?

Lebron has the most well-rounded athletism. His physical attributes are unreal, he's like a superhuman.

Ronaldo is easily faster and has better endurance for sure.

Overall though Lebron is a better athlete, he's fast, agile, and strong all in a great balance making him a force unlike like any other. Unearthly skills.

Ronaldo is definitely one of the best athletes in the world though.

But so is Cristiano. He's fast as fuck, really agile (you seen his jumps, you seen how easy he can play with the ball, you've seen his acceleration) and you know how strong he is when he wants, and how hard he can shoot the ball and even push his opponents when he wants to.

This debate is pointless and won't lead us anywhere but I don't think Lebron is the best athlete in the world. I don't think the best athlete in the world can be a basketball player because basketball, while being a beautiful and really good sport, doesn't require as much physical activity as some other sports.
