the top 5 most theltic guys in the world

[New England]

Rik Smits was 7'4.

......but he had a 2" vertical

were his feet shodden or clogged?

He played in clogs with a Swoosh on the side.

According to Steve Kerr on 2k13 lebron is the greatest athlete in the history of sports.

I think the best athletes in the world are ball players anyway there just so much going on at once that requires pure athleticism it's crazy

[TensionKiller]

messi might be as good at soccer as anybody is at anything right now. he's not the best athlete, but he's the best player in sport. he's the best in the world at the most popular sport. he's the best player.


the best pure athlete in the world is lebron james. speed, strength, size. that's what athleticism is. that's all it is. it's basically an evaluation of movement.

he's 270 lbs and he's 6'9". you foreign guys don't even understand size like that. he moves/runs like an animal, and i mean that in a good way. it's completely effortless. from basket to basket he's the fastest man in the nba. he can jump out of the building. he's one of the league's best passers. and he's 6'9" and 270 lbs.

He is a choker. Put him on a single player sport and watch his mental game break down.

He relies on team mates.

Best athlete in the world are Tennis players who are fit and play 5 hours of tennis a game if needed. They play 5 or 6 games to win a title.

They play tournaments every 2 or 3 weeks.

They have physical strength to hit a ball at 130+ MPH.

Have quick reflexes to return balls.

Have agility to run and change direction in an instance.

They need to be very fit and have extreme stamina.

They need to have decent durability because Tennis strains the legs, knees, shoulders and arms a lot.

They need huge mental strength because it's all down to them.

larryx is more theltic than PB and burner. He would beat both of them at one time.

[Kbmunro]

im inclined to agree ronaldo is probably the most athletic person in sports atm. dude is unreal, 36' vertical, 100 meters in roughly 10 seconds, 6'2, about 95kgs. pretty special

Id have to find the source again but i read somewhere that Andy Murray runs 40 meters/yards as quick as Usain Bolt.... Seems wrong to me but Bolt isnt the greatest starter and Tennis players have to have crazy acceleration? damn impressive if true.

Will try find source

Edit: ok it was over 10 meters and it was his own trainer that said it. Ill take that with a pinch of salt. Point is tennis players have very good acceleration.

[Tom Cruise]

Soccer players will always be at a disadvantage with 'best athlete' talks because 90% of being a good footballer is about mental aspects. Being able to process information, touch, judging distance, reactions etc. A running back in Am Football gets picked on some of those things, but a lot more on physical athleticism.

The Bothton Theltics?

You're thuch a thilly Billy, thilly panth....

[2shameless]

1) Christoiano Ronaldo- just watch tested to the limit. He out jumps most NBA players, would outrun all NFL playrs, and his agility is greater than both NBA and NFL combined.

2) Gareth Bale-Dude is a C7 in the making. Only 23, has even better pace imo, if he works on his leaping ability for headers i think he could equal ronaldo.

3)Novak DJOKOVIC-Dude literally slides aroun d on hard courts, with incredible endurence. Beat Murray in a 5 hour eopic then beats nadal in a 6 hour, beat that???

4) Wladimir Klitscko-Guys a freak. 6 ft 7, moves as a light heavy. His co-ordination when he throws his righ hand is incredible and his biceps are colossal.

5)Messi- He may no be as Atheltic as Bale or Christoano ronaldo, but with the ball no ones got quicker fit, hes a bullet when hes dribbling.

Honourable mentions are GEORGE SAINT pierre and ronnie olsulivan.

He might be top 5 theltic in the world



but he's not on the same planet athletically as guys like LeBron James, Kevin Durant, Cristiano Ronaldo, Aaron Johnson or Rafael Nadal.
