Well when comparing Basketball and Hockey, you have to keep in mind that they are two different sports and athletes of both sports train differently, specifically for the sports. Basketball players train for massive amounts of leg strength, muscular endurance and speed while dribbling the ball, passing it etc. I know quite a bit of basketballers who are in good shape, there are some who aren’t...but that’s the same for every sport, you should never say a basketball player is unfit. I am not really sure about Hockey, it’s not very popular here, but I know for a fact those guys train hard for the sport as well. No player in the NFL could play in the NHL and vice-versa, this is because they are two different sports, the athletes train differently to carry out different tasks. The same goes for boxing, do you think Manny Pacquiao or even Mike Tyson can just quickly make the transition from boxing to MMA, also, do you think Chuck Liddell or Randy Couture can make the transition in boxing so quickly? I don’t think so.

King John you have NO idea what you preach.. which is why you said “he has a higher vertical” LMAO? Thats basketball.. do you need to jump in NHL? Plus we wouldn’t even know cause NHL players don’t train to jump on ice. You don’t see the body’s NHL players have because they wear so much padding and a jersey;
- I can’t find very many pictures of hockey players topless to show their physique BUT I guarantee that in no way is Lebron more Athletic then ALL of them.
McGRATTEN would fuck up lebron in a second.. so would Zdeno Chara and Ray Emery (and hes a goalie)
SHIT! Thats three players that used to play for one team! Now image the whole league? You got dudes like Staal, lindros, pronger, Cashman, GREIG etc..
Heck even Gordie howe was a better fighter then Lebron. But hey! How can we tell right? Lebron never fights! HAHA

^ This.
The whole argument here unfortunately is completely bias. King John never stepped on ice with a puck, padding and actually played a game. So he has no experience of what he preaches which is why his argument has failed from the start.

lol you think there a Hockey player more athletic than lebron James?
You need proof for statements like that. Not shirtless pictures.
lol, you’re telling me shit for talking about vertical leap(which is one good barometer to determining athleticism) when you’re talking about fighting skill? How does being a better fighter make you more athletic? Also I would take Dwight Howard, Shaq, Lebron, Ron Artest and many more NBA players in a fight over any player in the NHL.

If I told you to name a player in the hockey league who won the golden gloves boxing tournament 4 years in a row, you wouldn’t be able to name him. So how can I honestly take anything you say seriously? I mean.. its like listening to a chick tell me about how a penis and a vagina work. LOL its not going to happen bro, you sound like an idiot.
