Lebron

[mjj_2K]

I think LeBron has the highest skill level of any player I've seen. What's funny is that I think he truly is a Jim Brown caliber athlete. I really believe he could've played 2 sports at a high level and could've been great at any sport he wanted to be great at. I mean if he started young playing soccer or football good could he be now? Ito untelling. He's so big, fast, and coordinated that he would be unfair any almost anything. Agreed or disagreed?

Mostly agree.

The last adjective you used is what really separates him- coordinated. That's what really makes him a unicorn. There are and have been guys as big as LeBron, there are and have been guys with as much raw run/jump athleticism as LeBron. Not many, especially with that combination, but some. None of them have or have had the skills that LeBron has, and that's because he's so coordinated. It's just incredibly rare for guys over 6'5" to be legitimate threats to beat anyone off the dribble, from any spot on the court, but LeBron is, at nearly the same size as Karl Malone in his prime. LeBron would be a very, very good basketball player even if he was 6-8 inches shorter- which tends to make you think that he'd excel at any sport he tried.
