Better athlete: Giannis vs Lebron

[Bronbron23]

Not just was LeBron the better athlete in his prime, his hand-eye coordination was also much better...

Smooth athleticism.

Giannis can look clumsy and relying on straight lines or space.

Not sure what Vragrant is smoking.

You had me until smooth athleticism. Lebrons a beast but hes far from smooth and graceful out there.

Lebron at 24 could score faster in the halfcourt.

You won't possibly find an athlete better conditioned and coordinated than LeBron at that size and strength.

LeBron can hop step, twist, spin, behind the back dribble, split doubles and he does it all in efficient movements.

If you watch 2017-18 LeBron you will see the epitome of grace and smooth.

You wouldn't get it anyway, though.

Lebron at 24 could score faster in the halfcourt.

Definitely. Lebron was easily the better athlete.

I also think if you put lebron in multiple sports he could do more than giannis.

Soccer
Football
Volleyball
Baseball

Cant teach that hand eye coordination.

Giannis

Wild to me that some are saying LeBron is stronger.

Not sure if we have ever seen Bron back down players like Blake Griffin and others and just dunk over them like Giannis does regularly. He bullies some really strong players. Bron definitely is known for pinballing people once he gets in the lane, but sheer strength and just moving people to get to where they want, I think Giannis does a better job.

LeBron is the greatest athlete of all time.

Giannis isn't.

Neither of them are

LOL what a disrespect to giannis.

This is not even close

Freak >>>>>> libron

[Manny98]

LeBron is faster, stronger and WAY more agile

Giannis is just taller and doesn't have close to the same fluidity in his movement to LeBron

And for Wilt.

1. There isn't enough full game footage to truly gauge how athletic Wilt was in comparison to today's athletes

2. Anyone can look like god when 50% of the NBA were milkmen and plumbers back then. would Wilt really look like a athletic phenomenon amongst today's athletes?

[Bronbron23]

Honestly, I feel like Giannis might be the better athlete all things considered.

Giannis' skills at this point are definitely more raw than most of or maybe all of Lebron's career yet Giannis is impacting the game at an all-time level.

Just watching him, he is a freakin giant and just takes like 2 steps into the paint, turns, and dunks like it's nothing.

Idk if Giannis would even be in the NBA if he was under 6'4.

easily lebron. Stronger, faster, more agile jumps higher and more natural skill. You could make an argument that greeks athleticism is more impressive because of his height and length but lebron is easily the better athlete

[Boarman1]

That would be fun to watch a 24 year old Giannis vs a 24 year old LeBron

I'm going with LeBron, he looked like a freak coming out of high school

Giannis has length and height, but he had to hit the weights hard to look like what he is today
