In a recent ranking by Fox Sports of the top athletes in Los Angeles, Shohei Ohtani emerged as the standout star, capturing the No. 1 position. His remarkable achievement of hitting over 50 home runs and stealing more than 50 bases significantly contributed to his ranking above LeBron James, who placed second. The list also included NBA star Luka Doncic at third, MLB's Mike Trout at fourth, and Dodgers' Mookie Betts in sixth. The rankings reflect the competitive athletic landscape in L.A., dominated by baseball, basketball, and football talent.
Right behind Trout was the aforementioned Betts as No. 6, 7, and 9 are all from the NFL.
Although both phenomenal athletes with generational talent in their respective sports, Ohtani becoming the first player to hit 50 or more home runs and swipe 50 or more stolen bases may have been the deciding factor to put him over the top.
Fans will always and have always supported the Dodgers, but due to the constant stars going in and out of the purple and gold uniforms, basketball has usually led in terms of star power.
It's no surprise here that future Hall of Famer and NBA all-time scoring leader LeBron James made this list. It may come as a shock to some that he ranked No. 2.
