Two similar players in my opinion, freak of nature athletes.
I think down the road, Blake Griffin's athletic peak will surpass LeBron's.

Re: Better athlete: LeBron James or Blake Griffin?
I'm pretty sure Lebron is superior in almost all aspects of athleticism except maybe strength since Blake is bigger.
Lebron is quicker and more agile. He also has a higher vertical and better body control.

Re: Better athlete: LeBron James or Blake Griffin?
Blake is probably on par when it comes to leaping, power and explosion but in no way has the full LBJ package of agility/quickness and body control.

Re: Better athlete: LeBron James or Blake Griffin?
They might be similar as athletes but lebron possesses skills that very few people of his size and athleticism have: that is he can dribble phenomenally in the open court, has great court vision, and he can slash to the hole and finish with the best to ever play.

Re: Better athlete: LeBron James or Blake Griffin?
I question Blake Griffin's durability. Lebron has remained super athletic and durable at the same time. He rarely if ever gets injured, unlike Blake Griffin.
But, no, Blake isn't a better athlete than Lebron.

Re: Better athlete: LeBron James or Blake Griffin?
They are numbers 1 and 2 in the league right now in athleticism.
But Lebron gets the nod because he has better coordination in terms of dribbling, shooting, etc.

People who think this is a dumb question are pretty retarded. It's actually pretty close.

Re: Better athlete: LeBron James or Blake Griffin?
People are vastly underrating Blake's dribblings skills. But of course, LBJ is still the #1 athlete in the league.
