OH10;2155243; said:AI've never seen an athlete like Lebron James when you take into account his strength, speed, leaping ability, and coordination. It's unparalleled in my lifetime.
Jaxbuck;2155360; said:It's a shame you aren't old enough to have watched Bo Jackson in his prime then.
Bucklion;2155381; said:Not for nothing, but Jim Thorpe also says hi to this thread.
BuckeyeMike80;2155387; said:Jim Thorpe
Bo Jackson
Jesse Owens
and to be honest I'd put Deion Sanders in that category as well...not to mention Jordan.....
OH10;2155455; said:On pure God-given athletic gifts, I disagree with all of those. Lebron James is 6'8", 240+ pounds. Deion and Jesse were faster, but Lebron is fast. Jordan was more skilled and mentally stronger (which doesn't even count in this discussion), but Lebron is skilled. Bo Jackson was probably faster and more powerful, but did it in a much more compact frame and the cooridination it takes to play running back isn't even in the same league as that required for the game of basketball.
Jim Thorpe was a jack of all trades in an era where the athletes are nearly as specialized as they are now. And, quite frankly, it is hard to judge someone's athleticism without seeing them in action. And there is very little film of him.
If Lebron had even half of the mental toughness of Jordan or Kobe, he'd be the best basketball player we've ever seen. Hell, if he had half of their mental toughness, he'd still be in Cleveland and have multiple rings by now. I think hate blinds us to his superior physical gifts.
