Blake vs LeBron in random tests of physical ability

[Living Being]

Blake is 1-2 inches taller, but they are about the same weight (260-270lbs), and seems to be similarly proportioned.

http://i.telegraph.co.uk/multimedia/archive/02270/team-usa_2270673b.jpg

We know LeBron is faster and more coordinated, has better skills in just about everything, but who is more of a physical beast?

They are both unstoppable at the basket, but LeBron is better at driving to the basket and finishing tough layups.

Is Blake possibly a slightly better leaper and a bit stronger?

Who would win in the following:

Bench press
100m dash
Arm wrestling
Furthest thrown football
Most powerful punch
Most powerful kick
Most flexible
Reaction time
Boxing match
Most silverback gorillas slain in 5 minutes
Fight to the death

[DurantFor40]

LeBron wins in everything. Best athlete on the planet.

[RRR3]

I don't think Blake would beat LeBron in anything tbh.

[piusbovis]

In the fight versus silverback gorillas category- are they being provided with expert hand to hand combat training before the fights?

[BuffaloBill]

Kobe would win

[The Real JW]

Bench press - Blake, more brute strength.
100m dash - LeBron, he's faster.
Arm wrestling - Not sure.. both have some guns. I'll say LeBron because I think his arms are longer.
Furthest thrown football - LeBron probably.
Most powerful punch - LeBron I suppose.
Most powerful kick - Blake, he has hops.
Most flexible - LeBron.
Reaction time - LeBron.
Boxing match - I take Blake because of the height advantage.
Most silverback gorillas slain in 5 minutes - Both die before killing any.
Fight to the death - Blake, he has ginger rage.

IMO.

[LikeABosh]

Lebron in everything. Not taking anything away from Blake, but Lebron is one of, if not the greatest physical specimen this game has ever seen.

[Faptastrophe]

Kobe would win
haha. Only person who Kobe would win is this chick http://images.ibsys.com/2003/0730/2368531_200X150.jpg

[Dictator]

Lebron has better reaction time and he's quicker and just a little faster. Blake is actually pretty fast but he has horrible stamina. Blake better at everything else.

[arifgokcen]

Lebron is 265-270lbs
Blake 250-255lbs
considering lebron is 2' shorter and his body fat is ridiculously low lebron is stronger
Besides these two ridiculous choices lebron is better than blake at everything

Most silverback gorillas slain in 5 minutes
Fight to the death

[novocaine]

that team usa outfit is goddamn ugly

[Swaggin916]

I'd Lebron at almost everything except bench. I think he arm wrestling wouldbe a draw and in terms of a boxing match I have no idea that has a lot to do with mentality. Lebron seems like he would be more of a mayweather fighting type and Blake a more aggressive type but neither are boxers so who the hell knows.

But Lebron is a better athlete. Blake is always falling down but Lebron never falls. He has better stability and better balance which is very advantageous in many sports and just things in life in general. It's why he would be a great football player too.

[BGriffin's Dad]

Lebron is 245-250lbs
Blake 250-255lbs

ftfy.

lebron isn't 270

[upside24]

that team usa outfit is goddamn ugly
Yep.

[StateOfMind12]

considering lebron is 2' shorter and his body fat is ridiculously low
I'm really not sure if Lebron has ridiculously low body fat.

Anyways, I think except bench press, fights, and possibly vertical leap that LeBron would win in everything. Lebron is too nice of a guy to fight.

I guess you didn't see Cleveland LeBron. Dude was arguably the fastest from end to end. And he's still one of the fastest in the league. His quickness is nowhere near the same though.

Lebron came into Heat camp last season at 5.1% bodyfat. Wade at 3.8%...

If that's not low, I don't know what is.

I think the only thing that Blake might beat Lebron at is bench press, even then I'm not sure due to Lebron being slightly older and hitting the weights longer.

I have a hard time any of those BF's numbers are even true. Most of the time those numbers are completely exaggerated and off by a decent amount.

I don't believe that is 5.1% body fat or even close to it for that matter.

Isn't that from when he was still a Cavalier? :confusedshrug:

[gyu]

LeBron's physique is very overrated IMHO. His body fat is NOT ridiculously low, I'd say it's pretty average for an athlete (key word: athlete). Not saying he isn't a beast but there are guys with better physiques in the league. Blake is one of them.

If his body fat is ridiculously low, his abs would be way more apparent.


Blake would be better in anything strength wise while LeBron would be better with speed/quickness and balance/stability.

From the websites I've seen it says 4.7-5.3 lol and yeah that picture is pretty outdated

It was from 2010-2011 in his first season with Miami. He looked a little bit leaner in 2012 but not that much.

All I'm saying is that the body fat thing is always exaggerated in the NBA. Aaron Brooks was like listed at like 2.7 body fat which is not even healthy for a human.

Here is a thread that talks about the myth of NBA body fats.

If I had to take a guess LeBron has 8-10% body fat.

Nope. the fact that lebron doesn't have these full draft stats and he always dodges the question when he is asked about his weight is because he wants to add to the myth of his abilities.

Lebron's on some human growth hormone stuff. You can clearly see that protruding gut.

When you naturally work out....your stomach should be sucked in not those protruding 6 pack abs.

So you think lebron is just an average athlete :applause:

So ou think lebron is just an average athlete :applause:
Where did I say that? The lower the body fat does not correlate to a better athlete. :facepalm

Am I talking to an anorexic chick or something?

[lilgodfather1]

LeBron weighs more, is stronger, faster, and better balancing. He can jump higher, and is generally better at every thing than Blake other than pushing off of a defender to make himself appear that he is higher in the air on an offensive foul that somehow turns into an and 1 opportunity.

Pictures often don't do it justice.

I've had several bodyfat tests done, and I came to be at a 10.6% average over 3 different tests.

There is not a chance in hell that Lebron is the same bodyfat percentage as me like you stated him being 8-10%. Dude is ripped as hell.

BAHAHAHA at Kobe saying this team can beat the DREAM TEAM.

[Richesly]

Why do people think Blake is stronger than LeBron?

[eliteballer]

Griffin might be stronger and he's probably is little more explosive but the rest goes to LeBron

[Eat Like A Bosh]

Bench press Griffin
100m dash LeBron, better all around athlete, much faster
Arm wrestling Griffin
Furthest thrown football LeBron
Most powerful punch LeBron
Most powerful kick Griffin
Most flexible LeBron
Reaction time Griffin
Boxing match Probably LeBron
Most silverback gorillas slain in 5 minutes This again? Both get slain instead.
Fight to the death LeBron

[OldSchoolBBall]

Blake easily wins two-footed leaping and possibly strength, but that's about it.

[Wally450]

Blake would beat LeBron in Slam Dunk Contest appearances

[kurt_rambis]

blake looks waaaay heavier than lebron, can't believe they're both listed at ~250. bg has a bigger upper body and much bigger legs, plus he's taller. something is afoot

bench press, blake would win....lebron has said he doesn't even go really heavy in the weight room. arm wrestling too close to call, they'd both kill 10 silverback gorillas, everything else lebron would win

[DTreats]

Griffin could MAYBE take out one silverback gorilla if he had 20 minutes or so.

LeBron I think could take out an entire tribe if he was motivated, we forget how stupid gorillas are and the fact that they are peaceful animals and would rather take punishment than hand it out. LeBron could easily sneak up behind all of them and snap their necks before any of them even knew what was going on.

[Sarcastic]

This looks like around 5-6% body fat. Below 5, your veins are exploding through your skin. My guess for his weight is 240-245.

Call lelbron and shop brons happy face into a ninja about to assassinate a gorilla

[eriX]

you guys realize that body fat % below like 5% you start losing muscles instead of fat... I doubt LeBron ever work on his abs, i say his around 7-8% if he worked on them it would be more defined...

[bmulls]

That is no where near 5%. At 10% you have a full six pack. He's somewhere between 10-12%.

These numbers are exaggerated all the time and most people don't have a concept of how lean 5% body fat truly is.

This dude is a true 5%. He is also water depleted, but you can obviously see the difference.

Ok, so? 5% bodyfat is 5% bodyfat.

Question!!!!

Do you actually think you need to take steroids to get to 5% body fat

[bmulls]

Question!!!!

Do you actually think you need to take steroids to get to % body fat

No, but 99.999% of people would need to take steroids to maintain that level of muscle mass at that low of a bodyfat. They would also need a near perfect diet and lifting routine. Most people would end up looking like this by the time they hit 5%:

On the arm wrestling, the shorter arms would be an advantage.

n the arm wrestling, the shorter arms would be an advantage.

Throwing a football, then longer arms would be an advantage, as well as in boxing.

Lebron's not 5% and will never be if you are competing in a sport of basketball that involves strength and explosiveness.

The lower your body fat is .... the weaker you are.

Bodybuilders have their bulking phase where they lift heavy and eat as much as they can. This is when they are at their strongest.

When it comes to competition...they will start dieting and start to cut the fat to show more of their vascular body, which they will be at their weakest due to lack of food.

Why do you think there is a buffet of food in the lockerroom after every game for these athletes....because they need to grub after all that energy they are exerting.

[ripthekik]

Bodybuilding is a show sport. It's not about lifting as much weight as you can, or being as efficient as you can athletically.

I don't know why some of you are posting bodybuilders in comparison to Lebron to show fat difference. Everybody is built differently to be efficient for their job in sports, and bodybuilders are there to show off every muscle.
