    I could easily see Lebron playing MLB outfield.
    He's a workout machine, he'd succeed in any sport.

    What college would he play football for?
    Either OSU Buckeyes or Akron Zips.

    I could see him playing college football as a wide receiver for sure. And he is allowed to . Danny Ainge was playing baseball for the Bluejays when he was playing hoop for BYU.

    Although Steve, I don’t know if Lebron could hit ML pitching. It’s not something you can just pick up.

    He was too much of a pussy to play football which is a real contact sport. He'd cry home to mama, I got hit to hard..

    Don't I know it.

    Michael Jordan couldn't hit a baseball well, neither could John Elway.
    You know who can hit a baseball well?
    Kyler Murray, his last year at Oklahoma he hit for power and average, he should have signed with Oakland A's

    I played baseball from 8 to 21, six months a year, every year.
    After 14 years I still couldn't hit a curveball.
    Curveballs are evil, I didn't have the patience to wait for it to break.
    As a catcher, the curve was just as evil to catch, and that includes the knuckler.

    I could rake most fastballs, curveballs were death.

    You know why Mike Mussina is in the Hall of Fame?
    Because he pitched exclusively in the AL East for twenty years, without question the most difficult hitters to pitch to 17 times a year for 20 years and made their lives torture with an overhand curveball.

    Hardest thing to do in any sport is to hit a round ball with a stick made of wood coming at you at damn near 100 mph.

    Hitting and pitching can't be just picked up. That would be dumb for him to play college football but entertaining I guess

    C'mon man. You may not like it, but whining for fouls is part of the gamesmanship of the modern NBA. You're priming the refs to make the call in your favor the next time, has nothing to do with toughness

    LeBron is a freak of nature physically, and probably could have killed it in the NFL if he'd chosen to

    Gotta be tough mentally to play football at a very high level. Lebron is a beast but could he take the punishment and block at TE at the NFL level? I can't see him playing any other position at his height other then tight end.

    James played football for two seasons during his high school days and was considered the No. 1 football prospect in Ohio. At 6-8, 232 pounds, he was compared to "a taller, slower version of Randy Moss." He received recruiting interest from several big-name schools, but he never budged on his desire to play basketball and go to the NBA.

    ^ Arch to be fair here... all the flopping James does on the NBA floor.... his ass would get lit up by a college/nfl safety. It might of been a wise choice for him to play in the NBA. He doesn't have the mentality to play football. He thinks he does. Then again... James "thinks" he can do everything.

    But to go back to my earlier comment, flopping is part of the gamesmanship of the NBA, like it or not. I mean, you can also say LeBron could just back his body into opponents at full force and roll over people if he wasn't worried about getting called for offensive fouls

    NBA vs NFL is a different beast, I just think it's dumb to act like LeBron wouldn't have been prepared for the physicality of the NFL. As if all these tiny WRs and CBs and whoever are physically tougher than him. They're not, they're just playing a different game and know it. LeBron is a smart and gifted athlete with a huge advantage in physicality, he would have adjusted to the NFL if he chose to play it

    LeBron was the top wr if not most highly rated overall player in the state of Ohio his 1st 2 years in high school. Was unstoppable. I'll have to see if I can find my old recruiting mags from back then.

    It's amazing to see that you don't understand how much of a turtle Lebron really is. The sh## he blurts out on social media is extremely questionable. Dude acting like what would one do.... if they wanted to return to college to pursue another sport?? I have an answer... how about open a book? He's not that educated.

    Of course that tweet was directed to people like Michael Jordan... and other people on the outside looking in. Or if word got to them. Professional people simply laugh at this clown. Any 1 on 1 fight... Lebron would turtle in a heartbeat.

    And yes the NBA and the NFL is a different BEAST... and that's why Lebron TURTLED OUT to the NBA. Anyone can talk sh## through social media. BACK THAT MOTHA FUKKER UP THEN LEBRON. He won't.

    I've never seen a 6'8" wide receiver in the NFL..


    Like I said maybe a TE if he could grow a pair and man up.

    No way. I doubt he can hit a 98mph fastball.

    Football, sure. Tight end.

    He'd cramp up after the first solid hit in the NFL. Just because he is built, big and athletic as fock doesn't mean he'd make it other sports.

    I don't see him being a Bo Jackson or Deon Sanders of sorts...
