Joe Rogan: fighters are lucky Lebron plays basketball

Until the a/c goes out:

physically he could do it. but what about mentally? being a fighter isn't just about physicality. if you are not okay with consistently getting hit in the face for a living, no amount of strength or size is going to help.

No. Being able to dunk is the perfect basis for fighting.

Rogan was saying if Lebron starting fighting from the beginning. Not Lebron just jumping in now. It's a "what if he was always a fighter and already had the mentality, how would his physical abilities do" pretend scenario.

Yes because soccer players who collapse when someone brushes against them would fare well in MMA.

Good point. But they still are high level athletes.

Someone like you always talks slick shit when black athletes are praised. Don't think your coded bullshit does not stick out.

What? How did you get this?

 

[Flex Plexico]

would like to see him take on

SNYDER

Fighters are lucky Dustin Johnson plays golf.

This statement is equally as stupid.

There is no telling how an athlete from one sport would have performed in another.

 

[Takes_Two_To_Tango]

Just because Lebron is a freak athlete in one sport, doesn't necessarily mean it will translate well in a different sport ie. MMA.

I am 6' 3'', 250 pounds of muscle and I can dunk in a way Jones couldn't. When I was younger and thinner, I could dunk like crazy. That's some A++ level shit right there.

MMA wishes it had an athlete like me.

I don't think most shertards actually listen to the interviews posted. They just read the thread title and start commenting lol

Shawn Kemp was a bad Motherfucker

lol

Lebron James is a bitch

 

[CoreCanyon]

I think Russell Westbrook would be scarier.

IMO, he may be the best athlete across all sports. He isn't as good at basketball as LeBron is.

Most gifted athlete ... IN THE WORLD? James?

Let him run 90 minutes with Cristiano Ronaldo pace and you'll see your most physically gifted athlete in the world...

Don't get me wrong -he is a hell of an athlete, but most gifted? Not even close.

Would be dope though to see him in a combat sport.

When it comes to athletes -I would love to see someone on a Michael Phelps level of athleticism.

Why is running at a high pace your benchmark for elite athleticism? Athleticism is typically measured kn explosiveness and strength. Very rarely is a sport concerned about an athletes long distance duration. Football and basketball - the two sports that are highly regarded as having the most athletic talent pool, have little regard for stamina. Not to say it doesn't matter, but it's definitely not what defines an athlete.

Lebron flops too much to be good at MMA - he's no Ronaldo

 

[IIIIIIII]

yeah, i get that. i was meaning that even as a teenager, he would still need the mentality to do it. i'm not sure he has that kind of mindset. but who knows.

Deion Sanders was a very good baseball player.

Yes he was. But he's a hall of fame football player. Baseball is the A-level of sports.

You're going to get blasted by the uncultured US sherbros for suggesting someone who doesn't play an American sport nor is black as the most gifted athlete.

Fighters are lucky that Lebron doesn't want to make peanuts whilst getting CTE.
