LeBron

Lebron... but westbrook has top 10 all time athleticism for his height.

[JohnFreeman]

LeBron had insane athleticism in 2009.

[tmacattack33]

Lebron's first step and burst was amazing.

If he was just 6'2 though would it be better than Westbrook's, or is it just amazing because we'd never really seen anything like it for anyone above 6'6?

Hard to say.

Yeah that's what I'm wondering.

Some of the plays Westbrook made lately made me think he was on LeBron's level in terms of athleticism but yeah, the answer was obvious after watching some LeBron clips from 08/09. My god he was something else. So much more athletic than 2014 LeBron. The vertical is still there but first step, quickness, and explosiveness just aren't the same.

[inclinerator]

um lebron is one of the greatest athletes in terms of athletic abilities period, i dont think u can put westbrook in that class

i will say westbrook is more wreckless tho, so he will attempt some crazy stuff that can showcase his athletic abilities

LeBron James.

He's extremely fast. His 1st step is lightning quick, and he jumps out of the building. I mean, Westbrook can do the same but LeBron is slightly better at those things.

I remember watching that live. That shit was crazy. That's from 2009-2010 though. He was pretty much the same athleticism wise that year, but 08-09 is just insane.

+LeCrybaby James We know you love Lebron, that's why you can't stop hating on him and are making comments on a video that's over 4 years old now.

Man that shot to the knee was just brutal.

[cos88]

lebron by far, even with all versions of westbrook that were. :confusedshrug:

[Le Shaqtus]

On a serious note, Westbrook doesn't even touch LeBron in athleticism.

Bron is some kind of generational super human.

Check where he jumps from

[Kukoc]

Lebron in 2009 carried a whole team to the ECF.

Westbrook needed the refs to get out of the first round

[Jlamb47]

Wow people just rides lebron so hard
Westbrook is probably one of the most athletic players i ever seen
EVER
dude is 5 inches shorter then Lebron so of course it looks like Lebron jumps higher
Westbrook be getting up there yal trippin
I would say Lebron slight edge but its close

[sd3035]

well, since Lebron has no discernible basketball skills, and he's still the 2-5th best player in the league, he is obviously a tremendous athlete

[Kukoc]

LeBron in 2009 was a beast

Westbrook still needs the refs today


If it was today i maybe take Russell

[DuMa]

LeBron also never had surgery on his knees. or any kind of a major injury.

he is god

[sd3035]

Lebron is a walking billboard for PED benefits

[Papaya Petee]

Westbrook isn't even as athletic as 08-09 Wade, never mind LeBron.

[Jailblazers7]

:oldlol:

OP literally made me LOL with the title. Thanks for the laugh.

[sejoon101]

As much as I dislike Bran, Brick is arguably the most athletic dude in all of sports... (srs)

The GOAT one leg jumper.
Only James White could at his peak be arguably better.

Agreed but James White doesn't/didn't have the power and speed of lebron

This dunk is crazy. He jumps from the free throw line so effortlessly that he doesn't even need to stretch out like Jordan, Dr.J, and others did. Plus, it looked like he could have easily taken off from a few feet further back if he wanted to.

[dc_chilling]

In response to Westbrook vs. Lebron, it isn't even a comparison.

Lebron is 6 inches taller, weighs 70 pounds more, runs faster, jumps higher, and is stronger than Westbrook. In 2008/2009 these differences in athleticism were even more glaring than they are now.

Hell, Wall and Rose are more athletic than Westbrook based on their combine results.

[AintNoSunshine]

Pound for pound WB is probably the most athletic ever, but plain and simple who's more of a physical specimen? Lebron by far.
