is wiggins as athletic as pre-2012 lebron?

[Rose'sACL]

wiggins looks pretty fast so i was trying to get your opinions about how athletic is he? i am a lebron fan so i might be biased and that is why i am asking you guys.
my friend is a wolves fan and he thinks that wiggins is as athletic as young lebron.
jt123/dragic alts, budadii alts etc should not answer this.

Fvck no

[Velocirap31]

Strength wise, no. Leaping and quickness, I guess.

[Cocaine80s]

His vert is pretty close

Everything else is probably a notch below. Crazy as **** too since Lebron probably outweighed him by 40 lbs

[Trollsmasher]

LeBron did everything apart from two feet jumping better at 50 more pounds

[hahaitme]

Nope

Is strength not a factor in athleticism anymore?

[Budadiiii]

I don't think anyone in history has the mixture of strength, speed, size, power, and agility that LeBron has.

He should have been able to pass MJ as the GOAT but didn't quite measure up in the mind. Wiggins isn't as athletic or big or strong as LeBron but I like his mental make-up better.

If you want to talk about genetics, the mind is genetics. LeBron may impress some people but he's never maximized his potential IMO. Being calculated and passive impresses people because they look at his career and say it's worked out fine. In reality, if he was more ruthless and demanding, he would easily be the GOAT. Just my two cents.

I don't think we will see an athlete like LeBron anytime soon.

Wilt is another guy who lacked the intangibles and winning attitude.

Bill Russell was a better leader and threw up before his games because of how much pressure he put on himself to lead his team to victory. He held himself to a very high standard the same way you see with MJ and now Westbrook and Durant.

Lebron looks a lot more explosive than Wiggins is; he was lightning fast on the break and had a killer first step

[RoundMoundOfReb]

No. Not even close. Kobe was a better athlete than Wiggins too. LeBron was insane. Heck I think he is STILL more athletic than Wiggins.

[dubnation]

No way. People have such short memories... same thing happened with Kobe (although he started off in a lower tier of athleticism) with people believing that he was never an athletic player and relied only on skill.

Kobe's combine numbers are on par with JR Smith's numbers.

Kobe's combine numbers are on par with JR Smith's numbers.

Combine would tell you that Reggie Jackson is a better athlete than Russell Westbrook. Irrelevant.
