Many consider these two the greatest of all time in their respective sports as they stand above most. But while standing next to each other, the difference in their builds is something we could not fathom. When converted to foot, LeBron is about 6′9″ and Lewis is 5′8″. That’s a massive difference, which somehow is not as evident in the photo.
