Two similar players in my opinion, freak of nature athletes.
I think down the road, Blake Griffin's athletic peak will surpass LeBron's.

not sure if serious.
Please stop. :facepalm
I'm pretty sure Lebron is superior in almost all aspects of athleticism except maybe strength since Blake is bigger.
Lebron is quicker and more agile. He also has a higher vertical and better body control.
Blake is probably on par when it comes to leaping, power and explosion but in no way has the full LBJ package of agility/quickness and body control.

Have you not watched BG play? :rant
They might be similar as athletes but lebron possesses skills that very few people of his size and athleticism have: that is he can dribble phenomenally in the open court, has great court vision, and he can slash to the hole and finish with the best to ever play.

No one has except Oklahoma or NBA pre-season fans.
I question Blake Griffin's durability. Lebron has remained super athletic and durable at the same time. He rarely if ever gets injured, unlike Blake Griffin.
But, no, Blake isn't a better athlete than Lebron.

They are numbers 1 and 2 in the league right now in athleticism.
But Lebron gets the nod because he has better coordination in terms of dribbling, shooting, etc.
People who think this is a dumb question are pretty retarded. It's actually pretty close.

How do you figure?

This.
As pure athletes they're probably pretty close, but Bron got PG like skills and Griffin doesn't.
People are vastly underrating Blake's dribblings skills. But of course, LBJ is still the #1 athlete in the league.
