    First person thats comes to mind for me is lebron, he is a freak of nature.

    Other person is Usain bolt, that guy is unhuman, he's scary good at what he does.

    Gay beat Bolt. So any non-gay male can beat him pretty much.

    Honestly, I think Nate Robinson is more athletic that LeBron. He just doesn't have LeBrons size.

    in the NBA, I gotta go with LeBron and Dwight Howard.

    In the NFL, probably Chris Johnson or Adrian Peterson.

    a couple names come to mind

    LeBron
    D Rose
    Josh Smith
    Gerald Wallace
    Russell Westbrook
    JR Smith

    all those guys are freak athletes.

    other than the NBA, usain bolt, michael phelps, and pretty much every soccer player in the world that's not on the U.S. team.

    Sure he can jump 6 feet straight up but I dont think he has as much natural talent and skill as lebron.

    As far as today's athletes, Bolt. Anyone that shatters two world records (and I think he broke his own in the Olympics) for fastest human of all time gets my vote.

    Neon Deion in his prime would trump all these guys.

    I'm sure he could played basketball if he wanted to also. The guy was an all around athlete.

    Now I'd say Josh Smith.

    I thought we were talking raw athleticism. Nate Robinson ran a sub 4.4 40 in high school and played CB in DI football. I think hes more athletic than LeBron.
