I loved hearing who was LeBron’s favorite athletes when he was growing up. MJ was my favorite when I was a kid and LeBron has been my favorite in my adult life. I would replace the bottom three with Ken Griffey Jr. (only legit home run hitter in the 90′s), Derrick Thomas (I am Chiefs fan too), and Jerry Rice (greatest WR of All-Time).

How about Walter Payton? Michael Jordan's an obvious choice, but that doesn't mean he shouldn't be there. I wonder if he's really helping LeBron house-hunt in Highland Park!?

Also, I threw together a timeline of his life for anyone interested in brushing up on their LeBron history: http://timelines.com/topics/lebron-james
