Jon Jones Makes #18 On ESPN's "2012 Cross-Sports Athletes Of The Year" (LIST INSIDE)

[EricSpider]

Being a great athlete isnt just about physical atributes, isnt just about who is stronger or faster. A great athlete has to have great intelligence, vision of the game, tecnical skills, has to know what is the right thing to do at the right time, has to have the abillity to score, assist and make plays in his sport.

Plus being the #1 in soccer is more difficult them being #1 in any other sport.

That said, Lionel Messi is the best athlete in the world right now.

But yeah, Lebron is a better cross- sports athlete for sure.

And talking about great athleticism look at this:

Cristiano Ronaldo running 96 metters in 10 seconds

Americans, or at least the Sherdoggers, have a very strange obsession with "athleticism" and a strange definition of it as well.

BTW: Very impressive run by Ronaldo.

lol, yeah that is really precise.

And in real races, they actually start from a dead stop. They don't have a running start. You know how much faster a sprinter's time would be be if he could run towards the starting line and then they time them from that?

Ok man, this makes Ronaldo's run totally unimpressive.

Sprinters dont have a running start and also dont play a soccer game at a high pace before start a run.
