Prime Ronaldo’s vertical is 31 inches, thats terrible 🤣🤣. Lebrons is 44 inches. There’s no comparison in terms of explosiveness especially when ronaldo is 75lbs lighter
I live in india , a country with 1.3 bn people ....man everyone here knows Cristiano Ronaldo ... And very few knows LeBron James .....but Jordan is also known by many ....so I think Cristiano Ronaldo and Michael Jordan are in same category ...but still RONALDO is bigger star and greatest athlete of all time 🐐
Hey that’s what I’m saying too like cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi have so much popularity, the entire planet knows who they are and what they have accomplish. You go to India or Afghanistan many people are not gonna know who lebron James is or Kevin Durant is. But you go to those countries like in the Middle East or Africa they will know who Messi is and Ronaldo.
@@kdonnn_123 Power: LeBron James has more arm power and Cristiano Ronaldo has more leg power but if we compare them Ronaldo's leg power is more than LeBron's shoulder power the guy can shoot the ball at speed of 117 kmph/72.7 mph. Physique: Having better physique is not being bigger but having overall well-developed muscles. Cristiano Ronaldo has every type of muscles - 6 abes, biceps, triceps, quadriceps, calves, etc whereas LeBron is too fat his abes aren't even visible. Coordination: We are generally much better with our hands than our foot that means doing things with foot is much more difficult than doing it with your hands. So, footeye coordination > handeye coordination. Cristiano Ronaldo is also has very good headeye coordination, he has scored 100+ headers in his career.
Anyone who thinks lebron is a superior athlete is deluded. Ronaldo the same age as bron and he runs around a football pitch for 90 minutes. An nba game is 40 minutes with 4 quarters and multiple time outs
That’s arguable I think Cristiano edges out Jordan alittle but it’s close. Jordan, messi, Cristiano, Jesus and Michael Jackson are in their own realm of popularity
bruh, athleticisn is not who is bigger in size, is who is more athletic. Athleticism main categories is speed, strength, stamina, agility, aerobic capacity, mobility, balance and coordination, mental resilience, and stability. I only see lebron beating ronaldo maybe in 1 or 2 of these categories. Ronaldo is faster, has better stamina, more aerobic capacity, way more agility and mobility, the coordination and balance is on a whole new level compared to lebron, he is pretty strong too, but I think lebron just edges him in this. If you guys think athleticism means size that means thor bjornsonn is more athletic than lebron. American biast I see by the tyt sports guy who don't know what athleticism means.
Exactly, ronaldo covers around 3 times more distance, at same average speed, with more sprints, more changes of direction and with only one resting interval. This is always ignored by people who only watch american sports- where there is massive breaks and players can rest on the bench and come back on and then take another break and come back on. If ronaldo was skilled at almost any other sports (tennis, basketball, cricket, etc), his physique would allow him to play at the highest level (6ft 2in 185lbs), lebrons wouldnt outside of american football.

😂😂 look how pissed Americans get when we talk about their sport … now y’all know no sport can ever be compared to football.. and thats world football not American football .. the court lebron james runs on can fit on a football field 8 times .. lebron is athletic of course but definitely not as much as CR7
Difficult to compare, but athleticism is so much though. In terms of popularity btw don't think Lebron even can be compared. He is pretty big in the western world, including Europe. But in the eastern and southern world he is nowhere near as known. You'd literally find small villages in Africa with kids knowing who Ronaldo is, and maybe some of his jerseys too. You've to remember football is a worldwide sport, while basketball is a lot more western. The NBA finals for example does not even get higher viewership than multiple normal Premier League season games, which can't compare to the Champions League and national tournaments. Honestly I'd probably say Lebron is below Neymar too worldwide, and maybe some more players too.
Ronaldo 6’1 jumping higher than an average NBA player. Imagine if he was 6’8 like Lebron and trained his vertical to suit NBA and trained like an NBA athlete. I think Ronaldo would boss basketball in some way. Can’t forget how fast Ronaldo is too 🏃🏽♂️ 💨 . If it’s the other way round I don’t see a 6’1 Lebron raising the bar in football.
The average in the nba is bad because of the big centers who can’t jump high. No one 6’1 at even the college level jumps nearly as low as ronaldo. He has a 31 inch vert which is terrible when compared to people his size
I hear that, that’s why I said imagine if he trained like an NBA player his 31 vertical would be higher. Also the average NBA player is way taller than Ronaldo and he’s jumping at their level already. If he was their height he’d be crazy.
@@juiceoftheblock1935 that's vertical in basket ball you think you ronaldo couldn't do that if he trained for half as long as you have the guy can jumps so high it looks like he's floating and he uses his head aswell intend of hands to reach the ball not a good comparison
@@tyronelorenzovalentio3414 Nope he isnt. Playin at al nassr doesnt mean he is finished. If you are comparing him then when ronaldo was 35 the same age messi is now Ronaldo was at Juventus scoring 100 goals. So he is not FINISHED
Ronaldo has more insta followers than every NBA player combined 😭 World Cup final gets around 3billion views btw. The most viewed nba finals was MJ’s last game with the bulls that got 30mil views. Football is simply bigger, but you just can’t argue the fact that Lebron is a more complete athlete
They need to watch CRISTIANO RONALDO TESTED TO THE LIMIT here on CZcams. Classic Americans living in a bubble, thinking it was all hate to Lebron, not knowing that soccer requires a lot more physical strength, speed, coordination, stamina etc. There is not a single NBA player that will ever come even close to Cristiano Ronaldo as far as athleticism goes. Even Kobe Bryant (RIP) who loved soccer said on a few interviews that soccer was a way more "physically demanding" sport than basketball.
Football is way more difficult to play than basketball with all due respect to basket ball 🙌 I've played both sports ... football needs much more atheletisim than basketball guy's
Hey you’re not wrong there neither. In football there’s more running, there’s more time to play much more time actually, there’s more transition, and above all else there is more physical contact when controlling the ball and it’s way more difficult to keep it on your power.
The guy said he didn’t know about ronaldo or even football but has the right to say the NBA is more physical where is his stats or research coming from if he doesn’t know what he’s talking about.
The guy on the left just has to keep his mouth shut when he talks about football, because saying that he doesn't know anything about it is an understatement
To be a superstar in football/soccer you need to be a generational talent and compete against the whole world, litterally, to sign for a top 5 league team and then perform at the highest level. No means to disrespect but in football you need to be an absolute complete athlete, basically a combination of every physicall attribute you can imagine. In basketaball you only need strengh, height, speed and good coordination with a bit of stamina.
"Only" Damn than in football u need all that + what? U just listed the 3 things that make an athlete complete, speed, strenght hight + a good coordination and lemme tell u, Basketball takes more stamina that football, In basketball everybody plays both defense and offense. In football each player only need to cover a specfic erea on the pitch. Deal with the facts
@@LOL-ro9ef NO, there’s a lot more stamina involved in football than basketball, a lot more, some players can run up to 15 or 20 km a match, and half of it at full speed. Not to mentione that you don’t have constant brakes like in basketball and the field is 20x bigger, so no, you can’t compare the stamina output.
Dude i watch basketball and football as well. But you can’t compare basketball to football. Football is huge and gold. Everybody can play basketball but footballs will take your life.
Basketball is definitely the easier sport though, as someone who plays both, football requires soooo much more skill and training and athletic ability.
As usual Americans are living in their own bubble not realising how big Ronaldo is and how hard it is to play football. No disrespect man, in my eyes and many would agree that Football is a harder sport compared to Basketball. And the amount of preaaure football players have is enormous and they gotta play with the people around the world and they represent their countries in many leagues too. There is a matter of national pride. NBA is just an event and there are several teams and the players themselves have change their teams based on the offer they get.
I’m sorry you guys are too biased 💀💀💀💀💀💀💀 ronaldo is completely clear in sport trophies he’s done it all I don’tser micheal jordan or lebron running about for 90 minutes doing over head kicks getting paid 100 of millions of dollars a WEEK
The basketball vs football contraversey starts in American schools. Idk how many basketball players me and my mates have pissed just by playing soccer during free day haha. They would take our balls and kick it just because they would "claim" the entire gym for themselves.
The basketball court is the size of the penalty box, ronaldo run over a 100 yard field for 90 minutes, with only one break in between the two halfs, ronaldo doesn't drink or smoke, i cant say the same for LeBron
A basketball match is only 48 minutes long, split into 4 quarters and no player plays a full game. One half of football is 45 mins with no breaks and most players play the entire 90 mins.
I'm a Messi fan and I admit Ronaldo is a better athlete, Football demands a lot from your body than Basketball does. Ronaldo's athleticism was so impressive that he had to be tested. czcams.com/users/results?search_query=cristiano+ronaldo+tested+to+the+limit Unless we have a scientific video that showcases LeBron's athletic ability under various tests, Ronaldo takes the cake.
Ronaldo literally jumps higher than your favorite basketball players wtf u talkin bout 💀💀 They literally put him in a lab to find out what makes his body this capable
The comparison between these two stars can be done in two different ways. One is athleticism and the second one is popularity and marketability. If we are going to compare them in terms of speed, flexibility and body strength I believe Ronaldo is better. Jumping higher than an average NBA player is so huge because Ronaldo is a football player not a basketball player. And the second one is popularity, marketability and ability to influence the world.....again Ronaldo is not only the most popular athlete but he is the most popular human being on this planet with over 500 million followers across all social medias....the most google searched athlete and definitely more marketable than Lebron. All in all Ronaldo is bigger.
My mom has never heard of LeBron or Tom Brady either (she's Australian), but she knows Michael Jordan. He was a worldwide brand that everyone knew in the 90s. Also, when that guy said "On a basketball court, if you want the ball, you get the ball" he was referring to getting it from your teammates. And how even if Messi's teammates have the ball, he may not get it because there are so many players on the field. (A football pitch is also much bigger than a basketball court) He claimed that LeBron wasn't asking for the ball (much) during that match.
No sports can compete with football I don’t want to explain that that’s a long way to explain only one thing I will tell is ronaldo play 45 min straight and 45 min straight for 90min a game and NBA player take 10 min breaks each games u can see different level of power between them
I play both soccer/basketball also I'm a LeBron/Ronaldo fan and man i gotta say it Ronaldo is the Best athlete short answer play soccer and you'll know, long answer LeBron can run in small Field back and forth he can fly not only jump and yep he got strength and that's it while Ronaldo does the same yet in a bigger field for a longer time with no stops and breaks only half time, so the question is if Ronaldo can jump and over speed average NBA players so what LeBron can do as average soccer player ? Answer is nth actually because LeBron is built to be boxer or basketball player while Ronaldo can literally become pro at any sport period
@@giovannirodriguez4444 fan of American soccer or European football? Put a basket ball player on a football pitch and see if they will be able to handle 90mins of jumping to deal with headers, having to evade slide tackles, sprinting up and down a 100 yard pitch to stop counter attacks, chasing around teams that just keeping possession of the ball, having to defend against physical players like ibrahamovic, and then agile players like messi and Neymar or fast players like mbappe or traoe. I'm pretty sure a basket ball player would much rather prefer to stay playing basket ball.
@@thelordisthespirit who the heck watches American soccer??? I meant European football you clown 🤡. And you really think just because the football pitch is big and players have to run a lot means it takes more athleticism to play??? That’s false. In a 90 minute football match running constantly doesn’t happen every single minute of the match. You should know that if you actually watch a full game. In basketball you actually need to move pretty fast.
Ronaldo is the greatest athlete because he worked his ass off his whole life never once did he take a break never once did he Quit there’s no debate but yes lebron is great
This is the most fanboying shit ive seen Lmao. Ronaldo is an above average athlete, thats it. He aint even close to being the best athlete at hos sport so lets not compars him to Lebron athleticly wise.
The video they’re watching doesn’t seem to be about athletic ability, but more about who is the bigger athlete. Who’s more famous and who’s more rich. Stuff like that.
One thing people should know is that the reason why most of the people bought the Jordan shoes is not because of MJ,its mostly the shoes we're also cool
Imagine you play more than 90minute not including added time yet. The whole field is bigger than American football. The stamina of football player is just crazy(Soccer) No debate Ronaldo is better athlete at his Prime. Lebron The best Athlete in America Ronaldo The best Athlete in World.
@@tyronelorenzovalentio3414 it’s true more consistan by far😂 has challenged himself in different environments the man has tested himself in every singe way messi hasn’t just the truth
You guys are talking about soccer without watching a single game of it. It's a whole different game of sports, you have to run with high intensity throughout the 90mins ( ~10km/90min) and more physical than NBA. With no offence, in basketball big giant guys have to jump and score and try to defend by doing the same but in soccer there are so many things that you can only understand after watching a whole game. Footballers are more athletic than NBA stars.
Ronaldos the best athlete because he’s joined the best league in the world and is doing good. Most people retire at his age, not go to the best league in the world and dominate it
This vid is 6 years old they ain't hating they just stating the facts as they were back then, doesn't really make sense to react to an argument 6 years ago if u are gonna compare it to today's world
if you break down athleticism speed - Ronaldo, not even close stamina - Ronaldo, not even close agility - Ronaldo, not even close jumping - LeBron, but only marginally strength - LeBron. not sure how its even a debate
Speed - Lebron is faster, especily young Bron would dominate him Stamina Lebron - Lebron plays both defense and offense and he does it for 40 mintues a game, Ronaldo plays only offense and all he does is wait in the Box era Agility - Ronaldo Jumping - Lebron by a huge Margine, Ronaldo doesnt even crack the 30 inch vert while Lebron is 42+ at his peak.

Basketball definetly requires a high level of athleticism but being that tall doesn't nessesarily make them nimble. Soccer players have to be good at everything except using their hands, that's why the look ackward throwing shit like baseballs and footballs but it's also hilariious watching a lot of NBA stars try and play soccer. Being taller isn't always better. It's better for certain sports. Lebron would looik and play completely different if he grew up playing soccer. His physique etc because of the differences the two games require. Obviously the guy saying that is an American sports stan as he even admits it. I'm American and grew up playing all 4 sports. Soccer was by far the hardest when it came to skill, it was also very physical but American sports media loves to find negative clips and put bullshit in peoples brain about the sport... they all have great athletes, baseball, etc. It's how well they can add skill and consistency that makes them stand out. In the end I look at it this way.. There are more athletes on the field in soccer as they all have to be.. You can get away with not being athletic in other sports depending on position. That doesn't mean they aren't skilled though or non productive.
Raah Americans no nuttin about football, Ahlie if your from the uk u kno dem man just chatting hella wass for no reason they forgot they talking about Cr7. That’s a joke ting
Nobody is considering the fact that nba games are played with like a day break or even two days in a row a team plays. And football has like one week for teams to play another match
Yh but if Lebron joining and leaving teams decides if there good or not it shows how good lebron is aswell as how stupid basketball is and how much easier it is
Ok, those guys you all are watching sound confused and the only group of people that can confirm who is more athletic are actual scientific sports analysts .But from my opinion nba is a one nation sport competitive wise meaning I have never heard of lakers,warriors or heat going up against franchises from europe or anywhere else competitivly and basketball can only be played internationally at a cometitive level at the olympics which is still not taken seriously by many other countries due to the fact that America is the only country thats takes basketball that serious. Becuase no country regarding football takes football in the olympics seriously becuase of the world cup, a competition where its only about football .So Lebron is not tested countinously like Ronaldo becuase Ronaldo plays like 50 to 70 games in a 11 month period and gets a month rest afterwards.And lets admit it the only reason why anyone would compare the two is to gain attention for basketball becuase although it is well watched globally it is still NOTHING COMPARED TO FOOTBALL
Easiest way to compare imo is to see how many people are trying to become the best in the world in the sport they are playing. Football is easy the biggest sport in the world, which makes Ronaldo the better athlete. Messi is the GOAT though
Let the basketball players have at least 4 tournaments in one season (league cup, league, champions league, world / European championship elimination, nations league) then let's start talking. Goalkeepers sometimes run more than basketball players.
SPORT CENTER!!! Y'ALL REALLY NEED TO REACT "Ronaldo tested to the limits" for a deep analysis of CR7 style of football n he's athleticism. On god that shit long but you'll be hooked n amazed
even michael jordan isnt even close to ronaldo and messi in terms of the greatest athlete of all time football (soccer) is a so immensely much bigger sport than any other that the top 5 greatest footballers of all time are in the top10 greatest athletes of all time. and messi and ronaldo is topping both these lists.

😂😂 look how pissed Americans get when we talk about their sport … now y’all know no sport can ever be compared to football.. and thats world football not American football .. the court lebron james runs on can fit on a football field 8 times .. lebron is athletic of course but definitely not as much as CR7
Difficult to compare, but athleticism is so much though.
In terms of popularity btw don't think Lebron even can be compared. He is pretty big in the western world, including Europe. But in the eastern and southern world he is nowhere near as known.
You'd literally find small villages in Africa with kids knowing who Ronaldo is, and maybe some of his jerseys too.
You've to remember football is a worldwide sport, while basketball is a lot more western. The NBA finals for example does not even get higher viewership than multiple normal Premier League season games, which can't compare to the Champions League and national tournaments.
Honestly I'd probably say Lebron is below Neymar too worldwide, and maybe some more players too.
Lebron is not big in the western world apart from America and Canada unless you think only 2 countries make up the whole western world.
CR7
@@markjohnson3196 🤣🤣🤣
"They biased." But you guys are also so biased on LeBron James, even when comparing against Michael Jordan.
I watch both sports and Ronaldo is by far a more complete athlete
Ronaldo 6’1 jumping higher than an average NBA player. Imagine if he was 6’8 like Lebron and trained his vertical to suit NBA and trained like an NBA athlete. I think Ronaldo would boss basketball in some way. Can’t forget how fast Ronaldo is too 🏃🏽♂️ 💨 .
If it’s the other way round I don’t see a 6’1 Lebron raising the bar in football.
The average in the nba is bad because of the big centers who can’t jump high. No one 6’1 at even the college level jumps nearly as low as ronaldo. He has a 31 inch vert which is terrible when compared to people his size
I’m not the very athletic by any means but after my first couple years of playing basketball I can jump higher than that 🤣
I hear that, that’s why I said imagine if he trained like an NBA player his 31 vertical would be higher. Also the average NBA player is way taller than Ronaldo and he’s jumping at their level already. If he was their height he’d be crazy.
Also leg training in basketball is taken more seriously compared to football and yet Ronaldo still can perform to those lengths. It’s impressive
@@juiceoftheblock1935 that's vertical in basket ball you think you ronaldo couldn't do that if he trained for half as long as you have the guy can jumps so high it looks like he's floating and he uses his head aswell intend of hands to reach the ball not a good comparison
Did he just say messi is more popular than Ronaldo?💀💀
@@Hassan-bq4ht but he dont so your point is invalid this isnt fairy land where you can imagine everything
@@Hassan-bq4ht buh he doesn't 💀, Ronaldo has 88 million more followers than messi 💀
@@umarrabiu6719 dosent matter ur idol is finaihed
@@tyronelorenzovalentio3414 Nope he isnt. Playin at al nassr doesnt mean he is finished. If you are comparing him then when ronaldo was 35 the same age messi is now Ronaldo was at Juventus scoring 100 goals. So he is not FINISHED
Ronaldo has more insta followers than every NBA player combined 😭 World Cup final gets around 3billion views btw. The most viewed nba finals was MJ’s last game with the bulls that got 30mil views. Football is simply bigger, but you just can’t argue the fact that Lebron is a more complete athlete
MORE COMPLETE ATHLETE???? WHAT
More complete athlete is false, look at a couple comments that talk abt this and you’ll see
He ain’t complete
Chelsea fans don't get opinions
They need to watch CRISTIANO RONALDO TESTED TO THE LIMIT here on CZcams. Classic Americans living in a bubble, thinking it was all hate to Lebron, not knowing that soccer requires a lot more physical strength, speed, coordination, stamina etc. There is not a single NBA player that will ever come even close to Cristiano Ronaldo as far as athleticism goes. Even Kobe Bryant (RIP) who loved soccer said on a few interviews that soccer was a way more "physically demanding" sport than basketball.
Mfs said “yea he’s taller so he’s a better athlete”
Football is way more difficult to play than basketball with all due respect to basket ball 🙌 I've played both sports ... football needs much more atheletisim than basketball guy's
Hey you’re not wrong there neither. In football there’s more running, there’s more time to play much more time actually, there’s more transition, and above all else there is more physical contact when controlling the ball and it’s way more difficult to keep it on your power.
Not necessarily
The guy said he didn’t know about ronaldo or even football but has the right to say the NBA is more physical where is his stats or research coming from if he doesn’t know what he’s talking about.
If you put an NBA player in a 90 min+ match they would clock out around 40. But a football player like ronaldo can run a whole NBA game.
The guy on the left just has to keep his mouth shut when he talks about football, because saying that he doesn't know anything about it is an understatement
Mr fish lips don’t know shit neither do the rest, they’re biased towards football
Ronaldo is more athletic then LeBron James bro hating on football does so called experts don't even know what there talking about
To be a superstar in football/soccer you need to be a generational talent and compete against the whole world, litterally, to sign for a top 5 league team and then perform at the highest level. No means to disrespect but in football you need to be an absolute complete athlete, basically a combination of every physicall attribute you can imagine. In basketaball you only need strengh, height, speed and good coordination with a bit of stamina.
"Only" Damn than in football u need all that + what? U just listed the 3 things that make an athlete complete, speed, strenght hight + a good coordination and lemme tell u, Basketball takes more stamina that football, In basketball everybody plays both defense and offense. In football each player only need to cover a specfic erea on the pitch. Deal with the facts
@@LOL-ro9ef NO, there’s a lot more stamina involved in football than basketball, a lot more, some players can run up to 15 or 20 km a match, and half of it at full speed. Not to mentione that you don’t have constant brakes like in basketball and the field is 20x bigger, so no, you can’t compare the stamina output.
bruh hahahaha all the panelists are americans who we know think the bigger something is, the better it is, typical american
Dude i watch basketball and football as well. But you can’t compare basketball to football. Football is huge and gold. Everybody can play basketball but footballs will take your life.
Exactly this, don’t know if anyone can play basketball but yeah, football is much harder and demands more skill.
Basketball is definitely the easier sport though, as someone who plays both, football requires soooo much more skill and training and athletic ability.
As usual Americans are living in their own bubble not realising how big Ronaldo is and how hard it is to play football.
No disrespect man, in my eyes and many would agree that Football is a harder sport compared to Basketball.
And the amount of preaaure football players have is enormous and they gotta play with the people around the world and they represent their countries in many leagues too. There is a matter of national pride.
NBA is just an event and there are several teams and the players themselves have change their teams based on the offer they get.
You say it’s delusional when they say something wrong about Lebron but everything they said about Ronaldo was dumb
Cr7 is by far the most popular athlete in the world and one of the most known humans if not the most known human in the world.
Ronaldo 🐐
I’m sorry you guys are too biased 💀💀💀💀💀💀💀 ronaldo is completely clear in sport trophies he’s done it all I don’tser micheal jordan or lebron running about for 90 minutes doing over head kicks getting paid 100 of millions of dollars a WEEK
There’s not even a debate here before watching this video I’m telling you Cristiano is the greatest athlete of all time
Bro these guys are watching a video which is 6 years old. They are not hating, 6 years ago lebron did not do so well
how the fuck can yall compare football player and a basketball player?. Ist like Comparing chocolate and fish

@@rajtimilsina100 LMAO
The basketball vs football contraversey starts in American schools. Idk how many basketball players me and my mates have pissed just by playing soccer during free day haha. They would take our balls and kick it just because they would "claim" the entire gym for themselves.
The less athletic you appear the more impressive it is to be playing at the top level. Great footballing ability > Great athletic genes
That’s fax and that’s why Messi is the goat
@@harrecis1015 messi had awful genes and used drugs to play football lmao but he still amazing
@@AkulaPluto mate u have no proof tha he used drugs. Tf are u saying
@@Gooooaaaaalllllll I have proof
@@AkulaPluto hgh growth deficiency 😂😂
The basketball court is the size of the penalty box, ronaldo run over a 100 yard field for 90 minutes, with only one break in between the two halfs, ronaldo doesn't drink or smoke, i cant say the same for LeBron
what does it have to do with drinking and smoking lmaoo, its not like if you drink 1 glass of alcohol ur performance decreases by 50%
A basketball match is only 48 minutes long, split into 4 quarters and no player plays a full game. One half of football is 45 mins with no breaks and most players play the entire 90 mins.
Just because LeBron is bigger physically doesn't mean he's the better athlete, Cristiano definitely have better cardio than him
I'm a Messi fan and I admit Ronaldo is a better athlete, Football demands a lot from your body than Basketball does. Ronaldo's athleticism was so impressive that he had to be tested.
czcams.com/users/results?search_query=cristiano+ronaldo+tested+to+the+limit
Unless we have a scientific video that showcases LeBron's athletic ability under various tests, Ronaldo takes the cake.
We call it football 😂😂😂
Ronaldo literally jumps higher than your favorite basketball players wtf u talkin bout 💀💀 They literally put him in a lab to find out what makes his body this capable
The comparison between these two stars can be done in two different ways. One is athleticism and the second one is popularity and marketability. If we are going to compare them in terms of speed, flexibility and body strength I believe Ronaldo is better. Jumping higher than an average NBA player is so huge because Ronaldo is a football player not a basketball player. And the second one is popularity, marketability and ability to influence the world.....again Ronaldo is not only the most popular athlete but he is the most popular human being on this planet with over 500 million followers across all social medias....the most google searched athlete and definitely more marketable than Lebron. All in all Ronaldo is bigger.
My mom has never heard of LeBron or Tom Brady either (she's Australian), but she knows Michael Jordan. He was a worldwide brand that everyone knew in the 90s.
Also, when that guy said "On a basketball court, if you want the ball, you get the ball" he was referring to getting it from your teammates. And how even if Messi's teammates have the ball, he may not get it because there are so many players on the field. (A football pitch is also much bigger than a basketball court) He claimed that LeBron wasn't asking for the ball (much) during that match.
It's embarrassing that's guy left especially doesn't do any favours for himself
He the dumbest of all of them lool
I'd love to see him play football to show us how good he is and how easy football is
If you think Ronaldo is better than Messi, you dont know nothing about football.
@Dank Waifu its not even a debate brother.
Cristiano n Messi are the goats... It's the end of era man... Enjoy their games
@@ansumannefati2472 don’t compare farmer league trash to the true goat of the sport.
It’s funny how someone doesn’t agree with the 3 of them and they start to panic 😂
Lebron is popular in the USA, Ronaldo is popular everywhere on this planet
Facts
Even Messi and Ronaldo rivalry is so big and has had such an impact in the world that has become more popular than the MLB and NFL combined.
No sports can compete with football I don’t want to explain that that’s a long way to explain only one thing I will tell is ronaldo play 45 min straight and 45 min straight for 90min a game and NBA player take 10 min breaks each games u can see different level of power between them
this guy saying they have never seen a game of basketball when he hasnt seen a game of football himself and talks 100 times more bs than he does
I play both soccer/basketball also I'm a LeBron/Ronaldo fan and man i gotta say it Ronaldo is the Best athlete short answer play soccer and you'll know, long answer LeBron can run in small Field back and forth he can fly not only jump and yep he got strength and that's it while Ronaldo does the same yet in a bigger field for a longer time with no stops and breaks only half time, so the question is if Ronaldo can jump and over speed average NBA players so what LeBron can do as average soccer player ? Answer is nth actually because LeBron is built to be boxer or basketball player while Ronaldo can literally become pro at any sport period
Being taller literally has nothing to do with it at all
This is a dumb argument, it takes way more athletism to play football than basketball
No it doesn’t and I’m a football fan.
@@giovannirodriguez4444 fan of American soccer or European football? Put a basket ball player on a football pitch and see if they will be able to handle 90mins of jumping to deal with headers, having to evade slide tackles, sprinting up and down a 100 yard pitch to stop counter attacks, chasing around teams that just keeping possession of the ball, having to defend against physical players like ibrahamovic, and then agile players like messi and Neymar or fast players like mbappe or traoe. I'm pretty sure a basket ball player would much rather prefer to stay playing basket ball.
@@thelordisthespirit who the heck watches American soccer??? I meant European football you clown 🤡. And you really think just because the football pitch is big and players have to run a lot means it takes more athleticism to play??? That’s false. In a 90 minute football match running constantly doesn’t happen every single minute of the match. You should know that if you actually watch a full game. In basketball you actually need to move pretty fast.
@@giovannirodriguez4444 are u American?
@@thelordisthespirit I played u16 England national team and basketball is a harder and overall more exhausting than football
Please don’t talk about football when u know nothing about it
Ronaldo is the greatest athlete because he worked his ass off his whole life never once did he take a break never once did he
Quit there’s no debate but yes lebron is great
This is the most fanboying shit ive seen Lmao. Ronaldo is an above average athlete, thats it. He aint even close to being the best athlete at hos sport so lets not compars him to Lebron athleticly wise.
The video they’re watching doesn’t seem to be about athletic ability, but more about who is the bigger athlete. Who’s more famous and who’s more rich. Stuff like that.
Stop these show u guys don't know nuttin about who's the boss lmao
One thing people should know is that the reason why most of the people bought the Jordan shoes is not because of MJ,its mostly the shoes we're also cool
Imagine you play more than 90minute not including added time yet. The whole field is bigger than American football. The stamina of football player is just crazy(Soccer) No debate Ronaldo is better athlete at his Prime.
Lebron The best Athlete in America
Ronaldo The best Athlete in World.
Ronaldo the most clutch athlete no one has dominated a sport like he’s done for so many years more consistent in his sport than any other athlete
Delete this
@@tyronelorenzovalentio3414 it’s true more consistan by far😂 has challenged himself in different environments the man has tested himself in every singe way messi hasn’t just the truth
You guys are talking about soccer without watching a single game of it. It's a whole different game of sports, you have to run with high intensity throughout the 90mins ( ~10km/90min) and more physical than NBA.
With no offence, in basketball big giant guys have to jump and score and try to defend by doing the same but in soccer there are so many things that you can only understand after watching a whole game. Footballers are more athletic than NBA stars.
Ronaldos the best athlete because he’s joined the best league in the world and is doing good. Most people retire at his age, not go to the best league in the world and dominate it
he doesnt dominate anymore, look at where united are now. ronaldo should have chosen city
He didn’t dominate the premier league at all😅😅
A Footballer can play any sport and do it well, a Basketball player can’t
This vid is 6 years old they ain't hating they just stating the facts as they were back then, doesn't really make sense to react to an argument 6 years ago if u are gonna compare it to today's world
if you break down athleticism
speed - Ronaldo, not even close
stamina - Ronaldo, not even close
agility - Ronaldo, not even close
jumping - LeBron, but only marginally
strength - LeBron.
not sure how its even a debate
Relative to height ronaldo is better when it comes to jumping
Speed - Lebron is faster, especily young Bron would dominate him
Stamina Lebron - Lebron plays both defense and offense and he does it for 40 mintues a game, Ronaldo plays only offense and all he does is wait in the Box era
Agility - Ronaldo
Jumping - Lebron by a huge Margine, Ronaldo doesnt even crack the 30 inch vert while Lebron is 42+ at his peak.
Strenght - Lebron
Power - Lebron
Why are u such a fanboy?
@@NotMe-el3hg Omg get of Ronaldo nuts. Thats like saying Reltive to weight Lebron is better when it comes to jumping 😂 Lebron jumps 42+ inch at his peak, Ronaldo doesnt crack 30 inches Lmao

Basketball definetly requires a high level of athleticism but being that tall doesn't nessesarily make them nimble. Soccer players have to be good at everything except using their hands, that's why the look ackward throwing shit like baseballs and footballs but it's also hilariious watching a lot of NBA stars try and play soccer. Being taller isn't always better. It's better for certain sports. Lebron would looik and play completely different if he grew up playing soccer. His physique etc because of the differences the two games require. Obviously the guy saying that is an American sports stan as he even admits it. I'm American and grew up playing all 4 sports. Soccer was by far the hardest when it came to skill, it was also very physical but American sports media loves to find negative clips and put bullshit in peoples brain about the sport... they all have great athletes, baseball, etc. It's how well they can add skill and consistency that makes them stand out. In the end I look at it this way.. There are more athletes on the field in soccer as they all have to be.. You can get away with not being athletic in other sports depending on position. That doesn't mean they aren't skilled though or non productive.
Raah Americans no nuttin about football, Ahlie if your from the uk u kno dem man just chatting hella wass for no reason they forgot they talking about Cr7. That’s a joke ting
Americans will always think they're the best but they forget theres an entire world aside from them
Nobody is considering the fact that nba games are played with like a day break or even two days in a row a team plays. And football has like one week for teams to play another match
there is usually 2 games per week in football as teams arents always just in one league. Football def requires more athleticism.
I honestly believe yalls IQ are 90 combined. This isn't even a debate. Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi are both much bigger than Jordan and Lebron.
100% Ronaldo is the better athlete, dude on the right so upset 😂😂😂
Yh but if Lebron joining and leaving teams decides if there good or not it shows how good lebron is aswell as how stupid basketball is and how much easier it is
Looool I’m happy you lot are triggered for a few mins this is how we feel when the guy on the left talks about football 👀😂
Ok, those guys you all are watching sound confused and the only group of people that can confirm who is more athletic are actual scientific sports analysts .But from my opinion nba is a one nation sport competitive wise meaning I have never heard of lakers,warriors or heat going up against franchises from europe or anywhere else competitivly and basketball can only be played internationally at a cometitive level at the olympics which is still not taken seriously by many other countries due to the fact that America is the only country thats takes basketball that serious. Becuase no country regarding football takes football in the olympics seriously becuase of the world cup, a competition where its only about football .So Lebron is not tested countinously like Ronaldo becuase Ronaldo plays like 50 to 70 games in a 11 month period and gets a month rest afterwards.And lets admit it the only reason why anyone would compare the two is to gain attention for basketball becuase although it is well watched globally it is still NOTHING COMPARED TO FOOTBALL
I gave y'all a link like 5 times of a video that would end dis debate of messi and Ronaldo but y'all ain't biting🤷♂️
Lebron is great but dont even compare him to cristiano fucking ronaldo
Easiest way to compare imo is to see how many people are trying to become the best in the world in the sport they are playing. Football is easy the biggest sport in the world, which makes Ronaldo the better athlete. Messi is the GOAT though
Let the basketball players have at least 4 tournaments in one season (league cup, league, champions league, world / European championship elimination, nations league) then let's start talking. Goalkeepers sometimes run more than basketball players.
And Ronaldo is way more popular than Messi btw
SPORT CENTER!!! Y'ALL REALLY NEED TO REACT "Ronaldo tested to the limits" for a deep analysis of CR7 style of football n he's athleticism. On god that shit long but you'll be hooked n amazed
The title is who is the better athlete not who is more athletic
even michael jordan isnt even close to ronaldo and messi in terms of the greatest athlete of all time football (soccer) is a so immensely much bigger sport than any other that the top 5 greatest footballers of all time are in the top10 greatest athletes of all time. and messi and ronaldo is topping both these lists.
Lebron's fitness alone vs CR7's is enough to say Ronaldo is the better athlete lol
More height doesn't mean more athletic lmao
Football is more famous and better than basketball. Both Ronaldo and messi hit billions dollars . Messi =Ronaldo > Michelle Jordan > LeBron
I'm not sure LeBron can run 90 mins 15 miles a game.
