Who is a better ATHLETE: Lebron James or Cristiano Ronaldo?

[Ghenghis Kahn]

that right there tells me how good you were at it

keep thinking soccer players are more athletic than basketball players.

and you bring up ocho cinco as an example? a washed up big mouth wr?

give me a fukking break pal.

[importmoon]

whoever got a bigger paycheck...

[OGUCCI-SBR]

yeah soccer players are the most athletic.

they only use half of their bodies pal.

i've played all sports in my life and basketball takes the most athleticism.

/thread

lmao. /thread indeed.
What the FCUK did I just read. Care to elaborate which ONE HALF OF THE BODY it is ?
Big part of football is played ''in the air'' fighting with shoulders/head for the ball.
Plus many goals are headers. I have seriously never heard a description of football this stupid before.

as far as I remember he was still playing at high level for Bengals when he went for the tryouts...and what is his big mouth has to do with anything here?

I decided to include an example of a soccer player who can play in NBA ...now I can't edit a post? ...jeez man this conversation is going to nowhere really fast

[Ghenghis Kahn]

you are clueless.

i'm just trying to prove to the soccer lovers that it takes more athleticism to play basketball than soccer.

let's put it this way. lebron james is considered the most athletic nba player ever but allen iverson could've been a great soccer player with his "athleticism". do you get the picture?

you like to embellish things. that's all. anyway, keep thinking soccer players are more athletic...

it will make you stop if I say I get the picture?

Wow, ok.
I get a sense that you think people are born fully skilled. But they are not. Right ?
That being said and understood I'll give you an example - Yaya Toure.
He is 6'3'' and 195lbs and Steve Nash is pretty much the same. And since Nash being 6-3 /195 is one of NBA greats I can't see why Toure can't be. To add, Nash grew up playing football and THEN DECIDED to focus on basketball and look how that turned out for him. Do you get the picture ?

The original question was who was most athletic, not who would be better at the other's sport. In every sport there are some who are extremely gifted and could have probably excelled at another. This has been studied, and most physiologists, other athletes, etc. all agree that professional basketball requires more overall athleticism than professional soccer. Doesn't mean any one individual is less or more so than another.

YOUNGBUCK
messi isnt a top 50? hahahaha some idiots talk about what they dont know anything. Messi is the best player in the sport, so far. His stats are more than enough to prove it. And if you saw him playing, youd be saying otherwise.

Are you dumb??? For the Second time this thread is not the best Soccer player it says ATHLETE... Messi is Ab 5% the athlete Ronaldo is

[pavyracer]

name one soccer player that could've played in the nba. ronaldo? pele?

Name one NBA player who can play for Real Madrid?

[Pan43]

I think Ronaldo. Basketball players have more breaks, soccer players up and down for 90 minutes, tip top shape, players sliding to hurt him. I agree with Drake

Ronaldo is not up and down for 90 minutes, just up . And soccer players don't have all those physical battles and jumping is draining a lot of your energy.

[Ghenghis Kahn]

Name one NBA player who can play for Real Madrid?

i already did. if allen iverson played soccer he could play for real madrid.

if you're gonna bring up nba player with a soccer background, go with hakeem olajuwon.

wow

[OGUCCI-SBR]

I was mainly referring to the size comparison of both players.
I would've agreed with you completely if your whole debate was about how every nba player can be a decent goalkeeper. No doubt about that, they all tall, athletic. If you appr 1,80cm to 2,05cm I can't see a reason why not. But when I think of LEBRON playing 90 minutes in MIDFIELD or even DEFENSE. Imagine Bron defending a last minute one on one vs Messi or any fast prick, the little guy would go full football ankle-break on him and fly by him like a tree.

[The iron sheik]

kind of hard to answer since the attributes required for their respective sports are so different. One thing is sure though, if there's a who's the bigger idiot contest and ghengis is taking part in it, he's definitely a huge favorite

what an absolute clown

Rocket your not posting anymore in soccer.

Rocket theres a Latvia game today, it looks suspect. Rocket make some calls.

[onemoregoal]

Please...

Ronaldo... aint even close

This was answered correctly with the first reply.

I'm from Latvia.
Jelgava are missing a few players today but nothing too serious, Metalurgs is a totally different team from what it was a few months ago, now only youngn's and locals playin there but somehow they managin. Jelgava will defo not want to lose this one. From what I see the starting odds were 1,40 on Metalurgs and have now jumped to 1,90 which actually seems more reasonable. Thing is Liepāja don't need this one as much as Jelgava does. If anything dirty happens in this one then it should go in Jelgava's favor.

[onemoregoal]

Yeah I know Liepajas arent the side they were last season,
but Jelgava need the points badly and with Liepajas not getting euro football - then i thought good chance for "friendly" points to Jelgava to help them avoid relegation.
Unless they are big rivals are something...
