Michael Jordan or Lebron James?

Can't forget about Iverson either. He was an insane football player but I doubt he'd be able to be a QB in the NFL. Lil Nate Robinson is said to have serious game as a DB too.

I'm with BB... I wouldn't even say "only". There's nothing that says James could play in the NFL. One thing that's very clear in the NFL. The most athletic guys aren't necessarily the best. Some really underestimate how hard it is to be a pro in ANY sport.

I just personally don't get how you have two wildly athletic guys like the two of them and say that one is more athletic than the other. If Michael Jordan decided he wanted to play football as a career, you'd have a hard time convincing me that he couldn't do it if he trained for it. People act like LeBron can just show up to Cowboys mini camp tomorrow and make the squad.

Anyone who answers LeBron just doesnt know basketball.

Let's not go nuts now.

Jordan any day

Jordan easly and until Lebron wins a ring, I would also take Duncan and Kobe before him. Why? Multiple championships.

I'd take Darko Milicic over either of them.

I would have to say Mj. Reason being, his college experience, and performing in a big game. I would know both have great talent, but I think during the interview sessions, Mj's maturity and hunger would reveal itself, while a young Lebron only performing on a high school level would need more time finding himself. So Mj would be my selection.
