I know all too well that he is not popular here, but I could make a case for Lebron. Size, straight line speed, power, explosion, hand-eye coordination. It's all there. He is the greatest athlete of his era (and arguably all time--Wilt and Shaq are the only legitimate contenders) in the professional sports league with the most ridiculous athletes overall. I think we can extrapolate from the success of Antonio Gates, Jimmy Graham and other vastly inferior power forwards-gone-tight end that James likely would have been the greatest tight end in the history of the game if he had pursued it. I can't imagine that he would have been anything other than the greatest soccer goalie of all time, if he had pursued that. I would think he could've been a decent hurdler/high/long jumper if he had focused on that.
