on the basketball court. Doesn't matter what they would do in soccer or a marathon.

Dr J, Lebron, MJ, Durant, Westbrook

Well yeah. But this is ISH.

Was curious to see if people would rank Durant last, although he is definitely a very good athlete.

Ah, so difficult. If this were pure athleticism it's easy, I would go LeBron, Westbrook, Dr J, MJ, Durant.

If we're going by raw athleticism then I'm gonna take Westbrook first, then MJ, Dr J, KD and LeBron...

LeBron is literally an Olympic sprinter, Olympic weightlighter, and Olympic marathon runner rolled into one.

^i'm gonna guess you've never powerlifter? bron is strong by ball standards. durant couldn't do 185 at the combine and most awkward of this group.

So does that mean current Westbrook is more explosive than peak athletic Jordan was?

i don't know why that's a face palm, MJ was smoother and more fluid but westbrook is more explosive. athleticism does not equal excellence.
