Didn’t he switch to the Browns then the rams? I guess his fandom jumps around as much as he does teams.

I’ve heard all sorts of stories but hard to tell fact from fiction. This article from 2017 claims he’s both a Browns and Cowboys fan but that his favorite player is Carson Wentz. :huh:

Id keep him at WR.

The thing I would worry about him playing WR or TE is the knee factor. Players always tackling him or taking him down at his legs or knees (see Calvin Johnson who was 6’5). That’s why I would try him at DE if I had the chance.

His body type screams DE, but I dont know if he ever played the position.

Lebron has always been an odd dude

He'd be a great bench warmer.

First year (maybe couple) most definitely, if he just came out in 2011. I’m fantasizing that he never choose not to play in the NBA and decided to go to play college football instead.

It would have been a fun preseason novelty during the lockout. Kinda like Jordans time playing minor league baseball when he was suspended retired

Yes, it was an amazing coincidence that Jordan retired from the NBA for exact number of days that you get suspended for as a problem gambler.

Think about Dez Bryant high pointing a catch and then add 7 inches in height, 40 pounds in weight and probably another foot of vertical leap -

He pulls for browns too. And he was at Rams game wearing Rams gear. Then again he does pretty much like to make everything about himself.

If you are referring to “The Decision” I would agree. He was a young kid who got some very bad advice back then. He has grown up. Seems like a real good guy who does good things off the court imo.

With some of the looney tunes we have here you can bet this tweet will have at least a couple who seriously think LeBron could be suiting up at training camp this summer.
You mean he's not? Bummer.

Ok, if your referring to him marketing himself blame Stern and Silver for that. NBA is a player driven league who needs their star players to market themselves. Add the blame to Jordan and Kobe as well. LeBron is just trying to be like them.

LeBron was a great WR in high school. It’s not like Rico Gathers who had no football experience.

Imagine a DB trying to cover a 6’8” 260 lbs monster who runs like a gazelle and actually has hands and ball skills. Wow.
