Cristiano Ronaldo and his similarities to NBA players - A Thread āš½ļøšŸ€
There is no set NBA player to describe Cristiano Ronaldo. He’s too complete and diverse of a player, so I’ll be trying to pick out just 1 attribute from top NBA players that Ronaldo fits.
šŸŽ– LeBron - Longevity

LeBron: Year 17. MVP favorite at age 35. Chasing a championship with a third different team.

Ronaldo: Year 17. Balon d’Or favorite at age 35. Chasing a UCL with a third different team.

Identical 🤯
šŸŽ– Micheal Jordan - Clutchness

MJ is known as the most clutch NBA player of all time. 6/6 Finals MVP. Never lost a finals.

Cristiano Ronaldo without a doubt is the most clutch football player ever. No one is even close.
šŸŽ– Kevin Durant - Offense

Kevin Durant is the most complete and unstoppable scorer in NBA history. There is no flaw to his offensive game.

Ronaldo is also flawless offensively. He can score with his right foot, left foot, header, longshot, etc. Unstoppable.
šŸŽ– Kobe - Mentality šŸ•Š

We all know about the Mamba mentality, the greatest mentality in NBA history.

Ronaldo easily has the best football mentality of all time. He turns haters into fans. He’s called himself the best ever since year 1. And he backs it up.
šŸŽ– Kyrie Irving - Skills

Kyrie and Ronaldo both have the biggest skill packages in their respective sports. Both have some of the quickest dribbling speeds as well.

Watching them dribble is art.
šŸŽ– Prime LeBron - Athleticism

The two most athletic players ever in their primes. That’s it.
šŸŽ– Curry - Long Range Shooting

Curry is known for many as the best 3pt shooter of all time, he can make space for himself and shoot from anywhere on the court.

Likewise, Ronaldo’s generates enough power to shoot and score from nearly any part of the field.
šŸŽ– Harden - 1v1

Harden is obviously known as the best 1v1 player in NBA history. He has a great package of skills to create space on an isolation and score/assist

Leaving Ronaldo on a 1v1 is a dangerous mistake, he’ll blow past the defender and score/assist 9/10 times.
šŸŽ– Westbrook - Energy

Two of the most passionate and energetic players in their sports. Figures that every successful team needs. Always explosive. Every night they come out and give 100% and leave it all out on the floor.
šŸŽ– Tim Duncan - IQ

Tim Duncan’s ability faded away slowly over time but it was unnoticeable. He would his brains more than his body to develop a better game.

Similarly, Ronaldo overtime becomes less dependent on his physical game and uses his IQ/positioning to score/assist
