Is LeBron The Greatest ATHLETE of All Time?

[@Alexpelletier10]

The way he evolves his game every year to fit the league is insane

[@fc7596]

I have to disagree with you here, he really hasn't evolved his game. He's still the same player, raw power and great passing ability. What sets him apart is his longevity. He added a 3 point shot a bit but still isn't a really consistent. The biggest thing he hasn't evolved is his free throw shooting, it's actually gotten worse. The crazy part is how everything else makes up for what he's lacking

I think that Wilt Chamberlain has to be talked about as the greatest athlete ever. Not only was he one of the greatest basketball players of all time, but he was also a legendary volleyball player as well as being extremely proficient in all aspects of track and field. He was extremely strong yet extremely quick around the court, and his productivity only declined because he needed to sacrifice his scoring volume to get his teammates involved. Wilt’s early years around the time where he averaged 50 ppg and over 20 rpg were the only times he was fully committed to utilizing the most of his abilities, and even then, he barely put in any effort at all and still dominated the league. Furthermore, despite his freakish traits, he chose to shoot more fadeaway jumpers because it was too boring for him to dunk over everyone on each possession. LeBron has been incredible, but Wilt is just on another level regarding overall athleticism.

But we if we compare what they were like in thier primes wilt could block shots far higher, dunk with far more power, have equal speed, also last thing wilt was able to dunk from the free throw line while in college which is why ur no longer allowed to do that, as wilt in college would take 2-3 steps back from the free throw time take of and dunk and I think k we can all agree no one else in nba history can do this nor snatch balls up to 12 feet-13 feet above the ground or block sky hooks at its apex.

Answer: Not even close Greatest athlete (at least since 1900) is Mr James Francis Wathohuck Thorpe, or Jim Thorpe, bro imagine only playing 1 sport, Thorpe played 3 and won Olympic gold in the decathlon, which is 10 events. One time, he punted a ball and returned his own punt for a TD (punts were like kickoffs back then). Also Jackie Robinson too, HOF baseball player and played CFB at UCLA, and was on the college all-star squad in 1940. Muhammad Ali also. Bo Jackson played two sports and was dominant in both. Jim Brown is one of the greatest football players ever but is also a Hall of Fame Lacrosse Player. I rest my case.

[@wakojako512]

[@juicyohs3073]

[@carlomontes4128]

People saying MJ jumps higher and is more 'agile'....Lebrons early days he flowed and was more fluid. Lebron can do EXACTLY the same thing MJ did. Lebron has the ability, he is capable. His movement in his later years and now is stiff becuse of his size and weight. Dude is beefy and that is why he doesnt look as nimble as MJ. BUTTTTTTT if you are talking about points in the paint or even dunking, Lebron is more efficient and has more points. I bring that up because of Jordans ability to fly in the air and finish at the rim (which i assume his stans are talkin about when it comes to his vert and acrobatic finishes). Wanna take it further? Lebron has a better percentage at the 3 point line with more shots. His shot selection has had, and even more now, includes fadeaways, mid range shots and even deeper threes. Look at his younger days and he was flying on the dunks too. The only thing you can knock lebron in is his freethrows, and even lack of defense (today with his old ass), yet somehow with his style of play, doesnt get as many freethrow attempts as he should. But its like saying Zach LaVine is the goat because he floats in the air. Its impossible to say who even the goat is because every single NBA player is talented. But only few impact the game like these two did. Its like having jordan play a game of horse with anyone in the nba. People are able to mimic his play and do things he can do, why arent they mentioned in the debate? Accolades? Ok MJ is the "goat" to yall, but say he only played for like 5 years got injured and retired. Will he still be in the goat debate today? Or not even close? He's still MJ right? Shouldnt his talent alone supposedly be enough for the goat debate or is it cus his rings? (Which he needed help to obtain). Another example, tom brady has a shit ton of rings and is considered the "best" but put him against some other qb's side by side, he lacks talent and speed and strength and agility. He aint no Lamar or Wilson. He has good vision a decent arm and was on great teams but hes the goat cus of team rings. Whos to say LBJ isnt the goat? MJ fans refuse to believe it is closer than what they prefer. He leads the league in a bundle of stats, surpassed the greats and people wanna knock him cus he complains too much (which is todays game). Dont forget he even played mid 2000's with the older type players. He dunks and blocks guys(with a full head of steam) bigger than him. He is a PASS FIRST FACILITATOR ALL AROUND PLAYER with a crazy high IQ for the game. He passes MJ in points with LESS shot attempts and LESS free throws made with a better true shooting percentage and a less usage rate percentage (somehow). Lebron knew the gane since he entered the NBA at his young age. He didnt need Phil Jackson (who helped even Kobe win all his rings and Jordan refused to play in the NBA for) tell him that there are other players on the team too. They also made the MJ comparison when homie was in the womb. Not him... the world. Give him his credit man. If only homie had decent teams or the same championship style team when he won the rings, homie would have had more than 6 rings. Imagine if he had PRIME Wade and Bosh with even Allen for those 10 finals appearances. The stars didnt align for him i guess. Most scrutinized player of all time.
