If NBA stars were FIFA World XI players 

Left Forward: LeBron James

The King

Size, strength, speed and always a perennial winner with the authority to exercise his free-will on the court. LeBron James is arguably the most polarizing athlete alongside Cristiano Ronaldo that you love, or you love-to-hate. Hence LBJ takes his spot in a Ronaldo-esque role in this line-up.

I can't deny LeBron James, he's definitely on my Mt. Rushmore. He's a winner and we've never seen anybody with his all around skill set.

Similarities: Cristiano Ronaldo (Real Madrid)

LeBron & Ronaldo

There are some who would label, right now and without hesitation, Ronaldo as the greatest Real Madrid player of all time. Others would go further, calling them the greatest player ever.

While most athletes beyond the age of 30 begin to ponder on setting retirement dates-LeBron and Ronaldo are both aged 32 and show no signs of slowing down anytime soon. These two elite athletes take "maintaining fitness levels and being healthy" to another level and it shows in their game.

The winning never stops and the titles just keep on coming.
