Iverson to the NFL???

[Chi_archie]

speaking of Lebron's capability to play in the NFL


what about Iverson? just kidding, obviously its too late now... but it makes you wonder how some great athletes would have done had they picked another sport earlier in retrospect.

Iverson once had 7 Int's in one game!!!

[rm18]

He actually might have an outside shot at still playing the QB position, too old to play anywhere else.

[daneblazer]

Always thought Shaq would make a good tight end. It'd be impossible to defend him on short passes.

[Chi_archie]

he has no shot at playing now, he'd get killed even at college level at this stage of the game

[freeVICK]

guys like lebron and kobe would be unstoppable at WR

[SBR Lou]

Jeremy Shockey said via Twitter "everyone trust me Lebron James could not play in the NFL! espn is crazy to even think he could even make a practice squad. hes a 4.9 40 time."

[tullamore]

Love to see Iverson go through a NFL practice.

The guy hasn't been on a football field since high school and all of a sudden he is going to play QB in the NFL, LMAO. R U kidding me? It would take him years to learn how to read defenses much less adjust to the speed of the defenses. This isn't high school ball now where he is so much better athletically. Obviously you don't know what goes into that position at that level. Not to mention, they would have to retool his whole throwing motion as it is totally unsound. WR would be the only possibility at his age. If he would have come out years ago then maybe DB as well as he had great quickness and good hips. I can tell by the film he would've never played QB. His own coach even said he could have been a punt returner or DB but never any mention of QB.

love 2 c iverson get ****ed up by some1

[The Seer]

Too slow and too tall, would get sawed in half. Bad hips as well.

[Chi_archie]

I think we can all agree that Manute Bol would have made big contributions on alot of nfl teams.....

[Jshap1515]

Wow, didnt know he was that good. Imagine if he picked football, then we'd be talking about how well this football player could play basketball.

Also, Steve Nash is a great soccer player. Hes got incredible ball control.

[tullamore]

His size would have never worked in the NFL.

[iceminers26]

7 picks in 1 game, damn

shockey is a dumbass....lebron is the fastest guy on the basketball court 95% of the time every night.

Iverson's just a soft pussy. Jordan schooled him when Iverson was in his prime after Iverson ran his mouth. Iverson is just a me kind guy doesn't give a **** about anyone else...he'd be an excellent WR. Drama queen for sure.

Lebron can't handle NBA contact thats why the officials protect him what makes you think he can go across the middle in the NFL?

[36mafia]

did you say practice. come on man, practice?

[Shortstop]

Iverson needs to retire and go away.

[podunk]

practice

[Mr. Peepers]

I hope the QB and coach on the other team that threw the 7 ints were kicked out of school and ran out of town...After 2 picks I am done throwing and for sure not throwing to that side of the field

[Bill Dozer]

This reminds me of the Rocky Balboa movie where Rock sees a video game simulation by ESPN where he gets knocked out and its all anyone can talk about. But in this one, it really doesn't mean anything. The Yahoo Sports sites and ESPN love to hype up non stories huh? Most of the talk is about trade rumors, rookies who won't do anything and what-ifs.

[StraitShooter]

Maybe blocking kicks. anything else he would get broken it two..was never very coordinated..thats why he could not score..His body is fried already too from being so tall..he is like a 70 year old man today

[pavyracer]

If he throws the football the way he passes the ball no pass will be completed.

[calm]

This.

[mmike032]

top athletes at a young age can excell in just about all sports.
the difference comes when you move up a notch to D1 ball, suddenly everyone thats playing was a high school star.
and than its a whole nother level in the pros.
So you can look at all the high school footage ya want but it dont mean jack in higher level atheletics

[jjgold]

He would last a few days

too small and fragile and of course old.

[KKoz9]

These egomaniacs are ridiculous...none of these guys could cross over and do worth a damn.

They have all their posse who are on their payroll telling them how great they are and think they could do anything and love the press stroking their ego.

The only one ever successful was Bo right? And he was still young at the time and he actually had formative training and experience in both sports.

[jerseykingpin]

Hes going to the knicks OWELL

don't forget deon sanders and Gene Conley

[Chi_archie]

Dave Winfield could have played professional football, basketball, or baseball I believe

[Doc JS]

yeah, that would be a problem wouldn't it???

[jellobiafra]

FWIW, observers have long argued that Iverson was the best QB in the history of VA high school football. I never saw him play but they say he was better than Mike Vick and Ronald Curry (Curry was POY and the #1 recruit in the nation...considered one of the best QB's in HS football history).

c'mon shooter, you know manute bol would dominate in the nfl


If I was starting an nfl franchise my first five rounds of picks would be manute bol, chuck nevitt, Shawn Bradley, ralph sampson, and Gheorge Muresan

dude, u don't know what u are talking about. Didn't you See Manute box the Fridge ears off? The guy has all kinds of talent.

[Chi_archie]

bol also played in the central hockey league for the indianapolis ice, and was a part time horse jockey.... truly one of the greatest athletes we have ever seen
