    If you put Lebron James in the worst Division 1 Team can they win the title?
    [COLOR=#000000 ! important]I'm talking about putting Lebron James in the team after the seedings have been done. Lebron would not have played even 1 single game with the college team during the regular season.How far do you think they will go? I know one player does not make a team. But I am saying you put Lebron James into the 16th seed in a region and they play a 1 seed team like Kansas or Kentucky.

    Now i don't know those teams that usually are ranked 16th but do you guys say the 16th ranked team will still get beaten pretty badly if Lebron James plays for the 16th ranked team? Is there a chance they could actually win this game even though the rest of the team is probably horrible?

    How many players would you say is needed from the NBA and put into the worst team in the NCAA 16th ranked team in the region for them to have a chance to win the tournament? Obviously if you have Kobe Bryant, Paul Gasol and Ron Artest in the team and have 2 other players from the college team in the starting 5, its pretty obvious they would win the NCAA title easily right? I'm assuming these NBA players would get to practice with the weak college team for a few days before they play the tournament.

    How many NBA all star players do you say is needed for them to win the tourney? I'm guessing 2 players and they should be the favorite. What if its just someone like Kobe Bryant and thats it. Do you guys think they can win the title? If not, what about just the first game against the #1 ranked team in the region. I'm thinking of Kobe gets to shoot the ball almost every possession like he did versus the Raptors where he scored 81 points, he would be unstoppable. However, his other players will have to defend and Kobe would not be able to do that.

    Thoughts? If you put Lebron and Kobe in the 16th ranked team and have the other 8-9 weak college players in that team, would you say its a walk in the park for the college team to win the NCAA title even though its one and done? You have to count the liability of the other players on the team so what do you guys think.

        That Davidson team wasn't very good without Steph Curry and they made it to what? The Elite 8? Not that the rest of the team sucked but I mean without Curry they weren't a tourney team. So yea, you put Lebron on a bad ncaa team and they've got a shot at winning it all.

          100%, without a doubt they would win it all....They might be able to hold lebron under 10 pts by putting 5 guys on him but everyone else would tear it up because of him being on the court.

                  yeah lebron drops 50 points a game...would be impossible for the white boys on duke to double him.

                      have to disagree. lebron on the worst team would take a 26 pt underdog to kansas and make then an 8 pt underdog. they would not let him drive to the hoop plain and simple. those 16 seeds are bad, no practice time with a team is like giving manning to a horrible football team and telling him to gel without a playbook, they wouldnt win a game vs a #1 seed. you just cant plug in the worlds best player and expect him to go 1 on 5.........the talent difference player to player for the rest of the team would outweigh lebron being there.

                        you can't be series. Lebron is already one of the best players in NBA history, still not on Kobe's level, but do you honestly think anyone in College can stay in front of him. He's 6'9, 270, he can run teh point in the NBA, so he can run the point in college no problem. He's bigger than most centers on most teams, and he'd be running the point lmao. You try and double him, hell make the play.

                        College is a childs game compared to the NBA. Mello toyed with college players and won the title with ease, but still took time for him to become a top 6 player in the NBA.

                        There has never been a body like Brons in the nba, LET ALONE IN College Basketball. The worst player in the NBA would start on any college team in the country.

                          ur talking about a team of total scrubs arkansas pine bluff. they suck ballz. Duke beat them by 30 and if they wanted could beat them by 55. you think one player, who NEVER HAD A SINGLE PRACTICE OR SEEN A SINGLE PLAY WHO DOESNT EVEN KNOW HIS NEW TEAMMATES FUCCIN NAMES could make up 55 points. you retard

                              Yes he would. A lot of these awful teams, have good shooting non-scholarship players. They don't succeed because they can't get a shot off. LeBron would change that, and probably would play center at the collegiate level given his size. Would probably shoot 20 free throws a game. The guy is the biggest matchup problem in the NBA nevermind NCAA.

                                Stephen Curry was a game changer for Davidson. Lebron would be a huge game changer for anyone. People seriously underestimate how much faster/bigger/stronger her is then EVERYONE ELSE on the floor. If he was playing with a college team it wouldn't even be fair.

                                    i just read all the posts, and no one mentioned something quite important. the college 3-point line is what, just about 3 feet closer than the nba line? those shots are routine for lebron or kobe, no matter who is guarding them. i dont think people realize how physically superior lebron is to people, especially at this age. if he's putting up 30 a night against nba players when he is the focal point, what exactly could we expect him to do vs. college kids, most of which won't be nba players

                                      kolzig, they wouldnt let him drive to the hoop plain and simple? you realize nba teams focus on doing that, and he still gets to the rim whenever he wants? and who exactly on your duke team that didnt beat pine-bluff by 55 would guard him? which 2 players? which 3 players? you could send coach k with a baseball bat out there swinging at him and it wouldnt matter

                                        You are also underestimating how good a 16 seed actually is. You still have to be a good team to make it to the tourney. The other guys would be able to do so much more. Lebron would also we knocking down college 3s all day. Plus he would hold who ever he guarded to 0 pts.

                                          As great as Lebron is I would have to say no, it takes more than one player. Think about Texas and Kevin Durant and they were a great team even without him and they couldn't get it done. It's tough to win 6 straight games on a neutral floor.

                                            Rick Banes is a horrible coach though. That team was loaded, but Barnes couldnt capitalize as usual

                                                  I don't think they win the championship, but they would get pretty far.

                                                    Put it this way, lebron is the ultimate all around player. He would possilbly block every shot inside. Inorder to have a chance against lebrons college team, you need great outside shooting. Offensively, lebron would rip apart a team by himself. He is also a great passer so when the triple team comes, easier baskets are made by others.

                                                    The only way another team would have a chance would be to get him fouled out , which is hard to do.

                                                      Bron could play center or pg in college. Centers in college are ants compared to lebron. Pg are ants. He would be the strongest, fastest player in the country. and if you tried to double/tripple him, he'd make the right play every time. He can shoot from 35 feet fadin back in the NBA against great players, what do you think? The college 3 point line is like a free throw for Lebron.

                                                      Hed average 25 15 boards and 15 assists. He'd lead teh country in points, rebounds, and assists, 100% guaranteed.

                                                        LeBron on a high school team = no chance
                                                        LeBron or Kobe on a college team where the other 4 guys aren't an obvious liability and can hit open layups, open jumpers = a good chance
