Better athlete maybe Bo Jackson.
Ginobili is smarter than LeBron on the court (If you don't agree, Larry Bird then). Ronaldo off the court.

why do people refuse to admit that Lebron James is a flawed athlete?

I'm not even talking about his mentality or lack of competitive spirit. I'm talking pure and simple mechanically he's a flawed athlete, especially for basketball. Lebron James is probably one of the fastest player in the league when he's at full stride in top speed, but his acceleration or first step is pedestrian at best. This kid needed a pick and roll as soon as he got into the league because he never had the blow by first step of a guy like Kobe. Kobe in his 13th season in the league relied less on pick and rolls than Lebron in his first.

Lebron also has a blocky and bulky bodytype similiar to Dwight Howard. Both lack the natural fluidity and coordination of someone like Kobe or MJ. If you watch this kid's footwork when he's in iso, it's literally like he's shuffling them and trying to remember which step to take like he's in Salsa Dancing for beginners. This is why every jumper he takes he seems to be off balance and he's never been able to have a effective pull up game.

I just never have been impressed by his athleticism. He's also a terrible two foot leaper that's why he never wanted to participate in the dunk contest

Jordan was not more athletic nor did he use his business savy to make a billion before he retired. LeBron will be a billionaire before he retires from the NBA.

It's a different day & age.Shyt is promotion & marketing crazy.

Bron should thank Jordan for that.They all follow his blueprint.He's the one that caused this shyt to explode like it has.

I get what you're saying.

Michael Jordan was a more graceful athlete.

It would be like comparing the Hulk(Bron) to Spider-Man(MJ)

For all the "Athletic specimen" talk, Bron's game has never been all that aesthetically pleasing.He's a bit clunky and rugged.

Shyt, prime Vince Carter>>>>Bron IMO
