He's no Julius Peppers.
what? he's one of the fastest straight line players in the NBA and has damn near a 40" vertical.
5 star all the way.

He bitches about fouls to get calls and shoot freethrows. Its not about being a pussy....its about winning.

Come one you know there is more to playing football than being fast and how high you can jump.
With your logic I would have been a 3 or 4 star recruit out of high school.

you don't think that lebron's coordination and rare blend of size and speed would have enabled him to catch a football? you don't think he could run routes? Make cuts? come on man. his hands are larger than oven mitts. he obviously can get footwork down.
I'm just saying if anything has been proven, is that basketball players can be turned into good wide receivers. Or in Lebron's case tight end. a la antonio gates.

Lebron is one of the most physical players in the NBA IMO. I don't get your argument here.

his 6'8 came from his high school pre draft. it's not a stretch that he grew another inch.
well he was like 30 when he graduated high school imo. The black Danny Almonte

It would put him in the mix yeah, but football is a different sport. being a good basketball player doesn't always make you a good football prospect.

There are alot better athletes than him that can't run routes or make the proper cuts.

That doesn't mean he can catch a football.

Who besides Tony Gonzales and Antonio Gates? Wide Outs, not Tight Ends?

Look at him next to Dwight Howard who is a legit 6-11,6-10.
He is clear inch shorter. It is kind of scary how he grew 2 inches and added on 50 pounds of muscle and became a better athlete at the pro level. The Cavs better monitor his growth because he could get too big for his own size.
He is alegit 6'9 270. THATS MASSIVE.

damn kracka. you're reaching. Lebron was all state football in HS. It's not like we're just throwing someone who never played into the game.
Randy Moss All state Basketball. Terrell Owens All state basketball. Early Doucet. Heck, I mean the new brand of wideout, is essentially basketball athletes playing football.
And let's not forget the best basketball player to football player.
LINK 7 ints one game.

"Kracka" on Tebow's Nfl prospects
Fair enough
Now "Kracka" on Lebron
quote:
As far as everyone's opinion on Tebow and the NFL, everyone should shut the frick up about whether or not he's a good prospect. Because truthfully, none of you work for NFL teams, your not scouts, and you know absolutely dick about what GM's and coaches want. So until you do, just STFU.

he was the biggest person i saw at the all star game. I'm talking width not height.

This is a pointless point when you consider that it is to the benefit of stars to whine about getting fouled since it gets them to the line more. He's not whining because it actually physically hurts him.

I've been to a couple NBA games, once on the floor and I've always been blown away by how thin most of the players are. Kobe is a fricking rail. It's no wonder that Lebron just muscles past most defenders since he probably outweighs them by 50 lbs.

LeBron looked like a homo running on the crossing route. What classification was that?
Posted on 1/9/09 at 12:06 pm to cwill
yeah no shite. And he pretty much barrels into the lane knocking people over all the time. absorbs a ton of physical contact.
bitching because someone fouled you in basketball (because it is illegal) definitely doesn't rule out being able to play football.

if Matt Jones can catch a football in the NFL, i think Lebron could
