Jordan comparisons are all wrong. They had longevity, Jordan didn't.

Lebron James - Tiger Woods, Jerry Rice, Willie Mays, Wayne Gretzky, Muhammad Ali, Fedor, Roger Federrer, Usain Bolt, Hulk Hogan/Ric Flair

More accurate.

more like happy gilmore, nichole bass, bob sapp, ben johnson, marion jones, jose canseco, doris burke

[GimmeThat]

not sure how it can be compared when they don't even have the same/comparable commissioners

[SouBeachTalents]

How the fck is Kobe like Randy Moss? They’re legitimately nothing alike

[ShawkFactory]

Barry bonds AND Mark Mcgwire? Completely different styles of hitting and baseball in general

[FultzNationRISE]

Lebron is basically a rich man’s hybrid of Ali, Jim Brown, Tom Brady, Usain Bolt, Michael Phelps, and Ronaldo.

MJ is Tanya Harding.

Barry bonds is there for the same reason that lance is, lol.

Stone Cold Steve Austin has to be on there somewhere. I think placing Roman Reigns in with Lebron is perfect. RR is a manufactured champion and no one likes him.

[Overdrive]

Kobe Bryant & Colin McRae. More hyped over their marketability than their actual skilllevel - both greats nonetheless.

Yep. Derek Jeter is the MLB equivalent of Kobe.

Terry Bradshaw for football

Terry Bradshaw for football

This is really good. Maybe a little more unfavorable to Kobe than I would be, but nothing to get upset over
