#2 Kylian Mbpappe and Donovan Mitchell

France v Argentina: Round of 16 - 2018 FIFA World Cup Russia
Kylian Mbappe
Oklahoma City Thunder v Utah Jazz - Game Six
Donovan Mitchell

The star of the 2018 World Cup, Kylian Mbappe is only nineteen and was the best offensive talent on his national team France. He leaves defenders behind with his blistering pace and skill and has the potential to be one of the best in the world one day. He has drawn comparisons to a younger Cristiano Ronaldo and Gareth Bale.

With all that in mind, the basketballer that comes to mind is Donovan Mitchell. Donovon at 21 is the star of his team (Utah Jazz) and tends to leave defenders for dead with his nuclear athleticism and skill. He has drawn comparisons to a younger Dwyane Wade and Russell Westbrook.

Both of them are young, fast and supreme offensive talents in their respective games and hence I put them together here. It would also be very fascinating to see both these players go head to head in a 100-meter dash. My money would be on Kylian Mbappe.
