Re: Better athlete?
Thank you for answers. Can you also tell in which categories is hard to tell who is better, for example wade is probably faster in the first steps but after some distance I think james is faster. Im also not sure about leaping ability between Wade and howard?........

Re: Better athlete?
I find this really hard to answer.
Who is more athletic?
- A 5'10" defensive back who can change directions, accelerate and decelerate in a split second and can run a 4.3 40
or
- A 6'6" 340lb defensive tackle who can dunk a basketball?

Re: Better athlete?
The defensive back is.
And the answer to this question is Lebron James.
When viewing athletecism, try to keep in mind that the bar is track and field stars and gymnasts. People like to put powerlifting in there since strength is a basis of athletecism but that is not the case. Strength is hugely visibile in track and field and gymnastics and it is FUNCTIONAL strength, powerlifting is not. Based on that, Lebron James may be the best all-round athlete the world has ever seen. He has the movement of elite athletes 1 ft shorter than him and 100 lb lighter than him. Its a combination of the ability to be agile, quick, explosive, fast, flexible, and strong. The more categories you're elite in, the more athletic you are.
