Football, sure, he'd be a nightmare to match up against. He's either a TE with WR speed or a WR with TE body and strength, with 3-4 more inches than normal at either position. Also has sick conditioning from basketball.

Baseball, can't really see it. He'd probably be a good outfielder but nothing HOF-worthy.

Anything else nah.

My Sports Illustrated was waiting for me at home. It’s the “Where Are They Now?” issue, my favorite of the year.

The MLB Poll cracked me up, however. The question: “Which athlete in another sport would make the best baseball player?”

Michael Vick led with 16 percent. LeBron James was next at 13 percent.

Just after James was drafted, he took batting practice with the Reds in Cleveland. There was some kind of Nike-Ken Griffey Jr. connection. Anyway, James was the single worst hitter I’ve seen among athletes taking BP. He looked like he had never swung a bat. He hardly got any out of the cage. Tom Hume was throwing. He kept slowing it down and down. Finally, he was just trying to hit James’ bat. This was before iPhones that took video or you’d be able to find on You Tube.

Lebron would be horrible in Boxing, MMA or Baseball he doesn't have the body for those sports.

I disagree with your assertion that James doesn't have the body to be a boxer. His body is ideal for a heavyweight boxer. Now, his talent and skill is lacking. He wouldn't make it as a boxer.

Lebron is too big/long limbed he would have terrible plodding footwork. The ideal body for a heavyweight is 6'6 245 and with a big torso and big thighs like Vitali Klitschko.

I think it isn't a stretch to believe he would most likely be a complete stud as a WR/TE in football. The rest of these hypotheticals are just stupid and not a lot of things to really support a debate.

Yeah I think he possibly could. I feel the same way about Jon Jones. Even though he's a fighter, his body frame and structure could help him excel somewhere else

LeBron would have a strike zone you could drive a Buick through. Even if he was a good hitter, a MLB pitcher would have a field day with that zone.

He's probably too big to be a very good soccer player. He would be a beast on corner kicks though.

James is not that gifted of an athlete outside of his sport. He can't hit for starters, he probably can't throw or field worth a shite, and he is too much of a puss to even play/fight in the most physical sports, he probably can't even catch a football, and some tard mentioned swimming. Really, swimming, James and swimming? Mover over Phelps, James is coming for ya!
