If I wasn’t the GOAT in basketball, what other sport I would be the GOAT in? Lacrosse. And I’d be a beast out on the field… I got pretty good accuracy when it comes to things.

It’s less about the actual sport of lacrosse and more so the fact that the most talented athletes in the world are probably found in more popular sports like soccer, basketball, track, etc. so it’s probably just, in general, easier for a genetic and athletic freak like LeBron to just dominate a much less talented pool of competitors
Not to mention all the social and economic barriers to getting into lacrosse. The quality of athlete is going to be way lower when you exclude the demographic that makes up 73% of the NBA and 56% of the NFL despite huge societal disadvantages.
The U.S. handball coach said at the 2016 Olympics that LeBron would be the best Handball player in the world with 6 months of training: https://bleacherreport.com/articles/2657177-us-handball-coach-says-lebron-james-could-be-worlds-best-with-6-months-of-work
He’s an apex predator physical specimen and would’ve been great at pretty much any sport with proper training as a kid.
I want to see Wembanyama on the mound looking like the Beast Titan.
It takes a shit ton of football IQ to be a professional goalkeeper, in addition to the sort of agility that LeBron just does not have. Goalkeepers are like cats. He could be a great American football player at tight end tho.
I’d play him at QB. That’s where he’d have the most impact. He was also an all-state wide receiver in HS.
He would not be great at any sport. You need technique in sports, which is less taught. No one can shoot like Curry no matter what they did. Not a lot can pass line Xavi and he looks like an accountant. The US soccer team always had great athletes, that’s never been the problem. It’s the technique that separates.
