Cleveland Cavaliers’ LeBron James is one of the greatest basketball players of all-time, and with his career seemingly still in its prime; it’s hard to say where he will go down in the history books.

We often hear about other young athletes looking up to James and calling him their favourite athlete, but who are LeBron’s favourite athletes in each sport?

James took to Twitter on Friday to shout out Ken Griffey Jr., who he called one of his favourite athletes of all-time.

We have to agree with King James about one thing; there’s no doubt in our minds The Kid had one of the most beautiful swings in the history of baseball. Watching Griffey smack a home run was a thing of beauty.

A thing of beauty, that Ken Griffey Jr. swing.
