american pharoah never heard of him....

Hmm an NBA coach talking about the leagues best player...  How about  the Ballon dor awarded to the best player in the world all leagues all competition

You saw the former NFL safety who coached LeBron in high school listing him as one of the top 5 best receivers he's ever seen, right?  I mean he mentioned Jerry Rice ffs.  Do you know who Jerry Rice is?  Speaking of, I submit to you he's a better athlete at 52 years old than Peter Crouch is right now.   

[Krupinski]

Best athlete? This guy, of course.



Here's your facts:

Here's your facts:

I LOLed so hard at the HR during the Play off game on the 3rd pitch of the game.

You don't just lazily throw Mike Trout a 90 mph 4 seam fastball right across the plate and plan to get away with it.

[craz07]

Mike Trout is a damned good player.... who knows what he'll contribute to the game in the end, he's up there as one of the bests already

[craz07]

Cristiano is still better tho...

[Triton28]

Cristiano is still better tho...

Tell us of his athletic exploits outside of soccer. 

[craz07]

why should I he is the master of the most athletic sport on the planet, he doesnt need to do two sports, he's won championships with different clubs he's won the Ballon Dor twice, why waste your time on another sport when your completely dominating one...

[craz07]

I see Lebron with his legs soaking in ice water after basketball games... he'd probably be on a stretcher after a soccer game... try running 5 to 10 miles in cleats tell me how you feel after..

[DmonSlyr]

You got Roger Federer who has won 17 grandslams, has made it to 26 finals of grand slams, won wimbledon 7 times, is arugeabley the most mentally sound athlete in the world, and is currently still #2 in the world at the age of 33. In one of the most competitive sports in which doesn't involve teamwork or coaching. A soccer match is only 90 minutes long. Gland slam matches are pure sprints for 3-5 sets, most lasting 2-4 hours, and then have to play 9 other matches in 2 weeks Vs harder opponents. I just don't see how a soccer player could compare.

[craz07]

they wipe their face after every break in play, if you factor in all that time i wonder how much "sprint" their actually doing at the end of the day

[Triton28]

Soccer players get long breaks when one of the more dramatic ones fakes a severed spine and flops on the ground before walking off under his own power.  Although to be fair I've never seen your boy Peter Crouch or Ronaldo do that.

[craz07]

Peter Crouch is not my boy, I singled him out because he is the same height as Lebron and played international soccer, and never say someone can't do something because the way they look, if you ask me I wonder how the guy played international soccer but he did cuz he was good enough.  Who's to say he wouldn't be even better on the basketball court. 

And in soccer you don't get free throws, so if someone is going to be dogging you the whole game the ref's got to know about it.

And Cristiano is my boy because he dominates a more athletic sport than Lebron

[craz07]

Cristiano has more scoring titles than Lionel Messi so I consider him the better individual player

[morfiend]

 Greatest athlete was Jim Thrope!

  Played several sports and competed in track and field in the Olympics.


   Had his medals taken away because he made a couple bucks playing football.
