If Lebron took his career to Football (1 Viewer)

[kingmalaki]

I don't know how good Lebron would be at football, but some of the things I'm reading are just too funny. Someone actually posted that you're not allowed to touch folks in basketball? Yeah, it's not "allowed", but watch a game and you see LeBron getting hit 24/7. It's the same way for every other dude that is just bigger than everyone else at his position (i.e. Shaq or Yao). Granted, it's not the same as getting drilled by a linebacker....but if you are trying to say he couldn't handle bump-n-run coverage because basketball is a "non-contact" sport, well that just isn't true.

The other hilarious comments revolve around him not being quick. Do y'all not realize how quick a wing player has to be at the NBA level? Lebron and Wade are two dudes who live inside the paint. Opposing defenders don't just allow them to blow by 24/7. Those guys are insanley quick, and this is with a basketball and while dribbling, as opposed to just running outright. The game of basketball is built around quickness, agility, height and coordination. Now again, maybe some of that quickness goes away once you put the pads on....but you can't honestly say LeBron isn't quick. He's probably the quickest dude at his size that we have ever laid eyes on.

I know King James would destroy Kobe in football. Probably on a crossing pattern.

Is that a real dribble or a crab dribble? This needs clarification. And, Lebron would be best at the kicker position.

King James is also the best Mario Kart player that ever lived!

That is a blatantly false statement.

It's true, he has 5.35 inch long thumbs and an addiction to Red Bull.

That is getting pretty tired. Don't know if you are fishing or you really believe that but its not helping your cause.

Cause what?Edit - I think his health would be just fine as well. Why would he be sick? I see no reason.

Natural athletes are natural athletes and nothing will change that. I don't doubt that Lebron could have made the NFL in some capacity, probably not a top tier WR but his pure and raw talent would have got him there. There are many players that can probably be a two sport athlete, some people say Allen Iverson was the best football player they ever saw in high school, of course it's all subjective but Iverson was an amazing football prospect as well.

Edit: Allen Iverson's high school clips..

Because you keep stating his best position would be kicker. The guy has some of the most unreal athleticism in sports today and has shown no evidence of having a good leg yet you say kicker. TE or DE all the way. And I firmly believe if he went to football out of HS he would be All-Pro right now. If he left basketball for football now I think in 3 years we are talking a very good player at his position. Just my opinion.

 

[Two Deep]

He ran into a 48 year old referee last night and laid on the ground like he got broke in half. Yeah he'd be a great football player

 

[Moe Green]

How do I give negative stars?

 

[Lash]

He comes off as a bit of an ### to me. The NBA can keep him.

and this would make him different from the other WRs at that position how?

Cool. I hadn't seen that before.

MJD was on 1st & 10 on ESPN this morning. The question for the roundtable was:

"If LeBron James quit basketball today and was eligible for the NFL draft tomorrow, where would he be picked?"

Maurice said he would go first OVERALL, because he has Calvin Johnson-like measurables with even better height and size.

Skip Bayless pretty much laughed in his face. I'll always remember this day as the first time I ever agreed with Skip Bayless.

 

[metoo]

He would go in the 1st round of this draft.

On the other hand, he'd be a helluva ticket seller that might be worth the 1.01.
