Korea 734 Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 I always wondered what and who people outside of the United States considered the best athletes in the world...For myself, I grew up playing basketball, than went to american football and now just do swimming in my spare time.....Here are my top 51. Lebron James2. Adrian Peterson3. Russell Westbrook4. Derrick Rose5. Calvin JohnsonWhat I consider is only pure athletic attributes...Jumping, agility, top speed, power, acceleration, etc...Who and what are yours?

Hutcho 8,443 Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 It all depends on what you rate as better attributes.Like for some stamina shows the greatest athlete. I.e. Usain bolt and Mohammad Farah are both great athletes but completely different, in terms of top speeds agility strength stamina etc. Basketball players arn't as strong as NFL players etc, but have better stamina etc.I think Adrian Peterson, proportionately (i.e. without being extremely tall), is a great athlete, and definitely up there.
