Who is the better player in their respective sport: Messi or Lebron?

[Roaden Polynice]

Messi isn't even better than Thierry Henry was.

Messi is overrated. Not saying he's not the best right now, but people try to say he's the goat or at least put him in that category.

Maybe he should tan more

And to say he's only 24 is alright but 23-26 is pretty much the prime age in soccer. Especially as a forward.

Its True tho'

Well im not a fan of declaring a goat in football when there's so many different positions on the field.

Theres no way to say if messy is better than Paolo Maldini for example.

Messy might be the best right now but he's not the best Forward of all time.

Henry is just one i'd put above him

Mate Thierry is my favorite player of all time but you're chatting straight gash right now. Messi right now is in a different dimension to Henry when he was in his prime

Messi is better than Henry. I love Henry but Messi doesn't miss opportunities much even if he gets a lot due to his teammates.

 

[SwagKingKong]

Wait, Henry better than Messi

How can someone actually believe this

what the fukk is a Messi...ive taken shyts that are more important.....

the GOAT in soccer is pele. you take pele back in his prime and have him play today, he would still dominate, imo.

ronaldo sort of has a bad reputation. he's not seen as humble or being a hard worker and messi is. it's comparable to what randy moss went through, imo. there is a ton of politics involved as to who wins the awards, etc.

lebron is the better player, respective to their own team and sport, imo. lebron basically does it all and messi doesn't. lebron took the cavs to the finals, brehs and look at what happened once he left.

barcelona still won the euro without messi. the engine of that team is xavi, iniesta and their system.

a lot of the praise messi receives is well deserved and earned, obviously. in addition, from all accounts, he's super genuine, honorable and one of the all time greats, already. but, the media does also promote this to a degree much greater than they do with anyone else in football. as good as he is, he's even greater from the eyes of the media, which is driven by the business world. it makes money and is good for soccer to have messi be the face of football.

without a doubt he's great, but not as great for people to already call him "thee" GOAT.

just my opinion, of course.

Don't really see how it's comparison tbf.

Lebron can play any position, can Messi?
Lebron is a great defender, is Messi?
Lebron has taken his national team to glory, has Messi?
Lebron carried his domestic team when he came in the league, has Messi?
Lebron is a great rebounder for his position, is Messi?
Lebron is a natural athlete, is Messi?
Lebron has played in the best league in the world throughout his career, has Messi?
Lebron is a leader, is Messi?
Lebron can dress, can Messi?

One is a lynchpin, the other's a decoy.
