Manu would beat all of Jerry Rice's records if he was in the NFL..

[sa_butta]

If he suits up now he can help them beat the Lions in Sunday's Toilet Bowl.

[ElNono]

I think he could. I don't know if he would be as much as a standout as he is in basketball, but it's undeniable that he's physically a freak of nature.

[phxspurfan]

Sure, I'd love to see him get knocked out by Ray Lewis.

[concken]

"James was an All-Ohio wide receiver at St. Vincent-St. Mary High School before quitting football after his junior year to focus on basketball".

All-Ohio :lmao

[SenorSpur]

That pretty boy wouldn't last one minute going across the middle.

[HarlemHeat37]

He definitely could talent-wise..but like Senor said, he wouldn't last physically..

Lebron missed like 6 straight games a few years ago with a minor finger injury LOL..

they say every single play in the NFL is like being in a 30MPH car crash..

[Samr]

You know, I like LeBron. But he's really making a strong case for me not to anymore.

That being said, Parker would be an awesome corner back. Also, Blair would make for an interesting defensive end; I bet no one would even dare stiff-arm him.

[HarlemHeat37]

LOL imagine Tony in the NFL..

[concken]

the comments are great

[JamStone]

Marcus Pollard had a 13 year NFL career and didn't play college football. He played basketball at Bradley. He had a very good NFL career without playing any college football. And, Marcus Pollard isn't anywhere the athletic freak LeBron is. It's not as outlandish a comment as you think. Football isn't the skill required sport baseball is. LeBron already has the tools to be an effective football player, running, jumping, strength, agility, catching the ball (if he were to be a WR or TE). LeBron might be crazy but his comment here isn't far fetched at all.

[TIMMYD!]

He'd get trucked and chopped.

[exstatic]

With his speed and size and hands, LeBron would have been the greatest TE in league history.

[Solid D]

LeBron's an incredible athlete. Why not? He's probably a better, faster athlete than Tony Gonzalez and he's 3 inches taller. Unless you've seen LeBron play football, I'm not sure how you could discount his potential.

[mookie2001]

he couldnt handle blocking the majority of the game, mentally or physically

all state at a private ohio school is like being first team all san antonio, good job, now try to play in college

[lefty]

Team him up with Tony Romo and COwboys go 0-17

[ducks]

shaq would eat him for lunch in football

[Solid D]

Corso says so! http://www.mkrob.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/leecorso.jpg

Corso says mookie don't know what he don't know.

[Solid D]

Hey, BTW, has anyone ever seen the football highlights of Iverson when he was in High School? QB, DB, Kick Returner. That guy could play.

[exstatic]

The size of the pond doesn't automatically disqualify the trophy fish. Shaq was All State at a 2A HS in San Antonio, and he made the big time.

[Blackjack]

^ ^ Yup, and it was Vick-like; no dogs were harmed in the process though.

[hater]

how is this spurs related????

ban the fucking duck

[SenorSpur]

There's no doubt that he's talented enough and skilled enough. I just think the prospect of him returning to a sport, where you are colliding every play with bodies, would get old to him really fast.

Besides all that, he'll make more $$$ in roundball, than he ever could in football.

LeBron is an excellent athlete and superior primma donna. Primma donna's don't like to get hit.

[vander]

yeah he could probably be a damn good WR in the NFL. he's 6'8" yet manages to still be quick and explosive.

[Das Texan]

good, go play in the nfl then.

[ajh18]

Think about the success Randy Moss has had. Lebron is bigger, stronger, a better jumper, and 4-5 inches taller to begin with. As a receiver or TE, Lebron would be a beast. He's more athletic than the premier receivers and TEs in the NFL.

:bang:bang:bang

[FeZZy]

The browns sign him in 2010 haha he would help them a lot..

[Bukefal]

Such an athlete as Lebron is, I think could make it in almost any sport. Maybe not just as great as he is in basketball, but still be a average pro.

[lurker23]

Those of you who think he couldn't play in the NFL are crazy. The dude is ridiculously strong, tall, and athletically gifted. Get a quarterback who can throw lob passes to the corner, 11 feet above the ground, and who is going to catch it other than LeBron? Nobody.

What he said.

Guy is a physichal speciment.... he could be one of the best players in sports like handball, football, rugby and all sorts of diferent sorts where the combination of speed/strength/skill is in there. (also being tall)

Antonio Gates didn't play football in college

[Chieflion]

LeBron could defintely play football. It is not even outlandish. He has the physical tools obviously.

[wildbill2u]

Basketball players as a goup are probably the finest natural athletes in the world. They have size, speed (especially in short bursts)great hands, eye/hand coordination, leaping ability, etc.

Some basketball players-- and even track stars-- with virtually no football experience have made it in the NFL. I can call to mind 3 that played with the Cowboys--Pete Gent who was a wide receiver, Cornell Green who was an All-Pro at Cornerback and Bob Hayes.

I don't think many would make it at any of the interior line positions, but they could be formidable at tight end, wide receiver or some of the defensive back positions, providing of course that they'd be willing to take the pay cut along with some hits.

The AVERAGE NBA player makes more money than most of the star quality NFL players

[nkdlunch]

why not??

Pele was good enough to play profesional bball, Nash is good enough to play professional soccer, Manu is good enough to be a professional bat hunter, etc, etc

if you are really good at a sport like bball, chances are you will be good at other sports

[mogrovejo]

First he copies Michael Jordan, now he copies Glen Davis.

[JoeTait75]

Why not? The Browns back in the '70s and '80s had a receiver named Dave Logan who was drafted by the NFL, NBA (Kansas City Kings) and MLB (Cincinnati Reds.) If Dave Logan was good enough to be drafted into the NBA, and presumably play in the NBA, LeBron is probably good enough to play in the NFL.
