LeBron the Greatest NBA Athelete ever?

[abeautifulhaze]

My pops might be one the biggest MJ fans in the world. Jordan was like a religion and I was a forced disciple...For years I thought that MJ was the peak ofbasketball greatness...the pinnacle.
The greatest, most atheltic, most dominant guard that the game could ever see...Kobe comes close but if MJ was 1A....Kob is like 1C/1D. Magic or Oscar would be1B. If you like domination by scoring its MJ...passing, its Big O or EJ
But this kid they call Lebron...

His talent and athletism if off the meters...he's like MJ on steriods, with Magic's passing ability and Big Os versatlity

Amazing.

Look at how he destroys Defenses by his lonesome....



We really are witnesses.

Damn, you must be fantasizing about when LeBron goes to NY huh

This guy is a freak of nature.
If he develops a good jump shot in the future, it is over for the rest of the L G
ive him 2 more years and he will be the best in the L, but I still think Kobe is #1 today

[gunna get it]

Best combination of size strength and Speed Ive ever seen on a basketball court

 

[nychiphophippo]

MJ on steroids?

Magic's passing ability??

Lebron is going to be top 10 at least when he's done, but he doesn't have MJs game so u cant really call him that. He definitely can't pass likemagic, which isnt me knocking him. He's a great passer, but magic is on a different level.

And you can't really say he's the greatest athlete ever. Bo jackson and wilt give him competition in that department, and i'm sure there are otherpeople i left out.

What about Shaq in his younger years?

 

[bigmike23]

i feel like people make these types of threads more to hype up their favorite athletes, instead of actually wanting to inspire a good discussion


not only that lebron Fans are become worse then kobes both great players but they come off saying off the wall crap and it brings hate

 

[mben32]

dude is ill. i always liked lebron..never been my favorite player or none of that..but i give respect when its due...and lebron is not only a sick athlete buthe is a few more performances from last night away from being the best in the league...i still say kobe is by far, but i see lebron stepping up on defense latein the games and taking on the opposing star which is what always seperated him and kobe, but now that seperation is closing

Definitely not worse than Kobe's. Saying that he's more athletically gifted than Jordan isn't as bad as saying that he's a betterplayer than Jordan, like Kobe extremists have mentioned so many times before.

and DoubleJs, Shaq was maybe the strongest, but LeBron has been called a Shaq on the perimeter...

 

[allen3xis]

Allen Iverson.

And I'll always say that

 

[true 3 blue]

Seriously. I mean, SERIOUSLY?!

 

[gordon gartrelle]

Still waaaay too early to make a claim like that imo. Way too early.

well, since you already made the argument and answered the question yourself, i can't possibly argue. okay, Lebron is the greatest NBA athlete ever. sure.

I knew the hate would come out....

I'm not even a fan ofdude...but you have to pay respect to his ability...or you're just plainly hating at this point.

Look at the numbers and the video. Its right there in black and white and all over the NBA.com archives.

MJ on steroids?

Magic's passing ability??

Lebron is going to be top 10 at least when he's done, but he doesn't have MJs game so u cant really call him that. He definitely can't pass like magic, which isnt me knocking him. He's a great passer, but magic is on a different level.

Yes he does have MJs early attacking game on offense and defensive, except hes more emphatic and gets up higher...which is amazing.

And I think he can pass like Magic. He is really dominant with his passing at times. He carves up teams for quarters at a time without scoring much. Hecontrols everything on the offense for his team when hes on the floor. Hes really a pass first player that is asked to score like MJ.

And why are you talking at Bo Jackson...The title slearly says NBA...y'all just like to argue down cats on NT

What about Shaq in his younger years?
Double Js..i'm talking about guards....and IMO LeBron is a better athlete than Shaq at any point. Shaq is more dominant and imposing though.But as far as speed, agility, passing ability, leaping ability....its not even close.

Iono bout that. He's only gunna be able to play at this level for maybe 6-7 more years before his skill set starts declining

Allen Iverson.

And I'll always say that

I know you have your Hoya bias, but LeBron would mutilate Iverson.

Im not talking about careers....Im talking about purely athleticism and natural basketball ability.

Allen Iverson.

And I'll always say that


I can respect that opinon...but unfortunately God didn't bless Ivo with the height of LBJ. He just can't so some of the thing LeBron can. LBj can doeverything than Ivo can though...plus more

I swear they've been sprinkling hate in Americas drinking water lately.....everything is so passe and not good enough for the internetgenerattion.
Yeah there another post about him....You obviously came into this post just because of his name right? You just choosing to show negativityinstead of props or even commenting on what the thread is about.

If the net was around when MJ was coming of age...you don't think every post would be about him too?

What you expect?

Why come into the post if you tired of seeing the players name? Just move along to the next thread.

No problem dog, I do agree his combo of speed+size+strength is utterly ridiculous
