Better athlete in their prime relative to their size... LeBron or Dwight?

[72-10]

How high you can jump isn't even that important. What's important is how quickly you can explode up and Dwight had all time great explosion. Before his back injury if he was anywhere near the rim it was an automatic dunk or foul.

also, Dwight's the strongest player to play

he can out-bench and out-squat anyone

LOL...

Lebron James in his physical prime (23-29) was more athletic than Dwight.

When I look at athleticism I look at,

Speed
Quickness
Strength
Explosion
Athleticism that adapts to other sports.

I'm willing to bet Lebron has/had more arm strength to throw a football than Dwight. Willing to bet Lebron throws a fast ball better too. There was a play in 2009 where Dwight went up for the dunk, lebron blocked it, caught it and ran the break and then got a layup on the other end weaving in and out of traffic.

Dwight's not doing that....
