LeBron beats him from what I see of him at his current size. LeBron has ALL the attributes needed to challenge Usain. He has tremendous explosiveness into his gate. Just tremendous. He has excellent turnover once he gets going. And finally, he has the mass/agility combination that would be hugely benefical in Track and Field. Even @ 260+ lbs, LeBron runs about a 4.45, right? He's somewhere around there.
I easily see him being a sub-4.3 guy 45 lbs lighter.
What ya'll think?
Nobody could truly be this stupid.

Re: True or false: If LeBron was a deticated sprinter, could he challenge Usain Bolt?
I agree with LeBron is one of the best athletic players of all-time. I still think VC was the most athletic ever and is still a beast if given the chance but LeBron is just a beast once he gets moving. As for the 100m, Lebron could be a GREAT sprinter, but Usain has it down to a fine art in terms of explosiveness and more importantly, strides. I think LeBron may have issues there. Just a legit matter of 'what if' I suppose....

lebron james could not be a great sprinter. lebron james trying to explode out of the blocks would be a joke. people that no nothing about the sport of track & field seem to think that because usain is "huge" that every other person that's big would be successful. what those who actually followed the sport before the olympics last year is that usain has been at this level since he was 17 thats why he's so successful. like i said earlier...lebron would have a hard time beating the US #1 female sprinter (allyson felix) before he ever got near usains level. and running 11.0 as a dude doesn't even allow you to be a walk-on at powerful t&f D1 uni's.

LeBron would not be able to make a D1 college team in the 100/200m.

Re: True or false: If LeBron was a deticated sprinter, could he challenge Usain Bolt?
Also, people saying "if Lebron were 40-50 pounds lighter" forget that part of the REASON he is so fast at his current weight is that he has a TON of muscle in his legs. Lebron's body fat % is already very low, so to drop 40+ pounds, he'd invariably be losing muscle, which would hurt his speed. He also doesn't have an elite amount of fast-twitch muscles in his legs, which is what gives explosive movement such as in sprinting (out of the gates) or first step in basketball.
Bolt's ratio of fast twitch to slow twitch fibers in his legs must be INSANE. On top of that, he's 6'4" but has legs of a 6'6"+ person, making his stride length enormous. And as noted, his leg turnover is phenomenal at any height, much less on a guy that size.
