Who is more athletic? Wiggins or Lebron

[ShaqTwizzle]

Definitly Lebron and I think the gap is fairly sizable even if we ignore the difference in size between them.

Even in terms of vert I think young Lebron could probably hit 44+.
A 6'8 man needs a 40 inch vert to get the top of his head at rim level and young Lebron could probably nearly get his whole head above rim level on a perfect jump.

Then again I haven't watched much footage of Wiggins so I can't say all that with confidence yet until I do.

They have about the same vertical. Lebron has much better acceleration because of his power. Speed is tough to tell because of conditions like court length and dribbling.

He was the greatest specimen the league had ever seen

When I see Wiggins do something crazy athletic, I think "Damn, that boy is built to run and jump"

When young Bron did something crazy athletic, I thought "ARGLEBARGLE hhhhhwut?"

Wiggins looks like he should be flying around like that. When Bron did it, nobody his size had really done what he could do.

Lebron and it's not close.

there's more components to athleticism than just jumping. and even that's close.

Lebron kills andrew in everything else.

How is it not close?

The only thing that sets Lebron apart is his strength.
Agility? Wiggins.
End to end speed? Even. Both probably 2 of the fastest players ever.
Jumping? Even or Wiggins slightly.
Strength? Bron.

I get that one factor could completely shift it to one side, but it is really close. Wiggins is extremely stringy and strong for his build.

Basically, I'm not sure who the better basketball athlete is.
