Shoebox,

there was this thing on sports science that showed Lebron's reaction to blocking a shot. It showed him sprinting from one end of the court to the other in 10 strides and 3 seconds flat and OJ Mayo layed it up, Lebron only had about a .2 second window to block the shot before it went in/was goaltending. Might I add that he running at full speed probably at least 15 mph to get to that .2 second window and still did it...

Lebron couldnt have played hockey - they couldnt afford the pads.

He belongs in the NFL to be honest. He would be a good fullback or tight end or rb or lb.

Lebrone needs to go play some NFL Bo Jackson style

Reacting to a basketball is one thing, reacting to a baseball is another. Size is different, Lebrone would be lost

Go Magic!

Shoebox,

Obviously, Lebron can't make it to the MLB now or maybe hit those pitches, but if he grew up playing baseball and stuck to it more than basketball, he'd be a great baseball player. Imagine if Lebron played hockey growing up. Are you shitting me? A 6'8 270 pound train that would be the fastest skater in the league coming at you full force? He would dominate those punks, they would try to check him and they would fall down.

This shows me you know shit all about hockey.

yeah rugby is tough. but do you know what would happen to a rugby player if they saw ray lewis coming at them? They would literally shit their pants. You have to understand that if nfl players didn't wear pads, they would all be paralyzed. A rugby player would stand no chance against the hit of ray lewis or any linebacker in the league. It's quite possible that lewis can paralyze them if he hit them at full force.

Lol yah but the NFL players have pads. You take those pads off and there is no way in HELL that they throw as much into a hit. Get real.

ray lewis has only murder in his mind cause he has been there. he wouldnt last long on a rugby field cause there is some discipline required and he would be lost at that stage.

I didn't even mention size, that whole paragraph was a demonstration of Lebron's hand-eye coordination with a 0.2 second ceiling.

**RobertPaulson** · 04-18-10, 02:08 AM

any nfl player cud get smashed by a union/league player as they have better tackling technique (coming at full speeds not a factor)....and sum of those guys wud b way smaller than ray lewis or lebron james but hit just as hard.

Obviously. Ray Lewis would literally put any rugby player in the hospital if he hit them full force, and nothing would happen to him. Not saying Lewis could play rugby cause yeah he isn't disciplined enough hes just a monster, but if they played backyard football for a day, no rugby player would get up feeling "fine" after a tackle from lewis, even if it was at half strength.

**RobertPaulson** · 04-18-10, 02:10 AM

i'd love to see them match up Vs each other....do it with pads and without and both sides take turns....now that wud be entertaining lol

Look up the blacks rugby team from 10 years ago, freaks!!

first of all, if lebron went into the nfl today without training, he would get buldozered by lewis. Rugby players have better tackling technique? WTF? I played rugby for 2 years in HS and the players were PUSSIES compared to when I played regular backyard tackle football wit my boys. Most of the time, I didn't even get tackled in Rugby, I would just get held.

It's true that anyone can pretty much tackle anyone. Any rugby player could tackle Adrian Peterson, but a rugby player trying to play RB in backyard football would get SMASHED by lewis. It would honestly feel like a train just hit them. Bro I used to get hit so hard by some of my boys in backyard football and rugby players were nothing compared to that.

The lack of physical exertion in ping pong eliminates it from any contention imo.

Badminton is ridiculous.

Ok soccer players have endurance homez, they're very skillful. Hockey? Hockey? HOCKEY?! You did not just compare players like Crosby, Ovenchkin, Nick Lidstrom, Zetterburg, to players in the NBA. Come on bro, these guys where pads and it's all about your skill with the puck and the way you skate.

Lebron is easily the best athlete in the world. He could have played in the NFL, MLB, NHL, and dominated all if he wanted. Were talking ATHLETICISM, not skill, pure athletes bro.

Athletes in the NBA have less body fat percentage than any other sport. You know Jordan was like 2-3% body fat at one point right? I bet Crosby and hockey players are at least 10+. Athleticism is a combination of strength, speed, and vertical. Hockey players probably can't even dunk. NBA Players dominate all those categories.

Goat, you forgot about boxing. Top notch boxers like Pacman, Floyd, Mosley and BHop are the fittest athletes when it comes to body fat...

this discussion is very entertaining lol. I don't see how you have hockey players as most athletic. Toughness and heart having nothing to do with athleticism. Hockey players are slower, weaker, less vertical, more body fat percentage (maybe not than NFL) than NBA and NFL so how can they be 1 on your list? What constitutes athleticism to you?

**lakerboy** · 04-18-10, 02:19 AM

Goat hockey players have incredible stamina and have you ever tried skating at that speed. Watch a hockey game form the 2nd row. Its stunning

**Pride** · 04-18-10, 02:20 AM

Hockey is unbelievably physically demanding.

**RobertPaulson** · 04-18-10, 02:23 AM

backyard football was regular tackle football without pads thats what I mean. I'm from detroit bro we don't fvck around there ain't know 5'8 140 guys playing with us lol.

Originally posted by shoebox

That's a skill, not a feature of athleticism. I've seen plenty of Wings games, never from the second row, that'd be tight. Guys I'm not disrespecting hockey players in any way. I know it's tiring as fvck to wear all that padding and skate at that speed, they do have great stamina. But come on, skating is a skill, stamina/endurance- yeah they're part of being athletic, but they're not in the major 3.
