Do you view LeBron as a basketball player or more of a natural athlete?

I ask this question because he is arguably the best player in the world right now yet he doesn't seem to have the tools or skill set of a Kobe Bryant or Michael Jordan.

This leads me to a follow up question of whether pro basketball has become such a physical game that skill is now no longer (or minimally) a factor when it comes to having success.

Compare some of the super stars of the past to the present

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar vs Dwight Howard
Larry Bird vs LeBron James

As you can see the past is clearly more skilled but the present is a lot stronger physically.
