Creating the Perfect NBA Player: 12 Traits from the best in the game

#11 Athleticism - LeBron James

LeBron James is an athletic freak of nature. King James on a fastbreak, attacking the glass is the scariest thing for any defender. He weighs around 270 pounds and stands 6'8" above the ground. He's almost. an inch taller and 25 pounds heavier than the average NBA small forward. That makes him unstoppable.

He's agile as he is powerful. Remember how fast he chased down Andre Iguodala for "that block" in game 7 of the 2016 Finals? Taking huge strides, he is able to close the gap in a flash.

Night after night in his career, the fans have witnessed LeBron James soar for alley-oops, dunk over strong men like its nothing, overpower Centers in the paint.

Our perfect player swipes a pass, turns on the nitrous switch, kicks into 5th gear, takes only 4 strides from the midcourt to the ring and hammers the ball down!
