LBJ has game changing athleticism. He is athletically superior to any of his opponents.
Better ATHLETE Michael Jordan or LeBron James?

LeBron is a freak of nature. He is the most athletic player in the history of the NBA.
Michael is just simply a better and the greatest basketball player. That's the difference, point blank.

It's all subjective.
But to me it's without a doubt LeBron James.

In terms of pure physical ability, Lebron's combination of size, strength, speed and quickness far surpasses MJ, and any probably any other basketball player, hell, maybe any player in any major sport.

Lebron is the better athlete between the 2. People sometimes forget this man could've easily went to the NFL and had scouts salivating at the mouth at the potential prospect of Lebron suiting up...
Jordan is the better ball player (for right now) though in general due to his sheer dominance in his era and consistent NBA championship wins during the 90's. He was a marksman in the clutch to hit game winning shots, and had the heart of a lion on the court to take over games if/when needed which adds to the legend of Michael Jordan. In his early years, Jordan's aerial acrobatics was unparalleld and STILL remains that way to this day....
But as far as who is the stronger and faster athlete, Lebron James is that guy hands down. Time will tell if Lebron evolves into the dominant force that Jordan was in his later years in the league. If Lebron can consistently impose his will to win games and DOMINATE every game like it's his last...I can easily see Lebron being the best basketball player to ever suit up in the NBA as well.....and that's hard to say for me, cuz I grew up in the golden era of the NBA as a big time Bulls and Jordan fan.

On another board somebody (He is about 32) said that Bo Jackson and Deion are the best athletes he ever saw. I think the majority of that was due to the fact that they were good in more than 1 sport. You think those dudes > LeBron?

LeBron and its not even close. He's the first of his kind, the NBA has never seen anyone as athletic as James. He beats MJ in every category athletically.

stop it son. ATLEAST half the dudes in the nba are around lebrons height or taller. yeah dude is a lil more buff than most. but thats only because he trains that much harder than the next cat in the league.

wrong.
lebron is good because he practices and wants to be good. whats so hard to understand about that? he went to the heat, get over it. nobody ever talks about the cavs owner bashing him the second he left. obviously there relationship wasnt all that if he was so quick to to throw dirt on his name.

Jordan is more agile, while lebron is stronger.
So depends on what u mean with
athletism.

Bron is just as agile as MJ but he is more muscular and powerful so his agility doesn't look as smooth. But those reverse layups and shifting moves in the air that he does against multiple defenders shows his agility and body control.
