Lebron has only played 82 games once in his career. Only 3x has he even played 80 in a season. he's got to have those days off.
I rounded it to 82 games because he's int the playoffs every year except a year ago. He's really playing far more than 82 games a year. Not only that but he plays in the Olympic Games as well. Easily plays over 90-100 games a year with the 5-7 game series he plays.

You're clearly biased, Lebron James would never be able to play 80+ games for the cowboys in a season! He clearly needs days off...

Fair enough. I think what LeBron’s doing this year in regard to his assist numbers show what he’s always been capable of as a passer, when he wants to be a true pass-first guy.

But LeBron’s such a dominant scorer on top of that passing ability, and in my opinion, that’s what separates him from Magic. His large scoring load is also why he didn’t reach Magic’s career APG numbers.

Magic always had a stacked team when he was winning with the Lakers, which doesn’t take away from his greatness. LeBron has dragged garbage Cavs teams to 60+ wins and Finals trips. I don’t think Magic was capable of that... I’m actually not sure if any other player in the history of the game was capable of that.
I'm not trying to put down LeBron as a passer. He actually is good at that for a guy that scores a lot. But his focus is more on the scoring side, and Magic's was more on the team QB side, so they each had their own strengths. I don't think Magic would ever have been the scorer that LeBron is even if that had been his focus, nor do I think LeBron would ever be the passer Magic was, even if that had been his focus. They are just different guys who did great things with the gifts they had.

God definitely blessed him physically. It’s amazing he has never suffered a major injury in all his years of playing.

Doesn’t like contact?

At 6’8” and 260 lbs?

LeBron’s been violently attacking the rim at will for 17 years now. I have no clue what player you think you’ve been watching.
Nba plays 82 games a year. Nfl plays 16. Football is a considerably rougher game.

1) He played football in HS and was an all-state WR. That doesn’t necessarily mean he can make it in the NFL, but it does mean he knows how to play.

2) Barring an actual injury, I don’t see why anyone is assuming he couldn’t have handled the punishment. He’s 6’8” and 260 lbs. He’d be lining up mostly against guys 6+ inches shorter and 40+ lbs lighter.

I’d take on that distraction if it resulted in us having the greatest athlete we’ve ever seen.
To what end? No college experience, it would take a couple of years just to teach him the NFL game.

During this period what is he being paid and how would it effect cap space.

This was Jerry the ticket seller speaking, not Jerry the NFL GM.

Not worth it.

What college experience did he have in the NBA? He didn't. He at 18 years old came in nominating with no college experience.

Yeah....that was basketball.

Did he graduate from high school as a stud football player capable of immediately entering the NFL as well?

That I don't know. But he was described as a "man among boys"....at 18 he was already built like a grown man.

Lol, who’s going to cover him? CBs would bounce off of him.

If he had legit hands and could run mediocre routes, he’d be close to unstoppable one on one.

I dunno man Ive seen him flailing over very minimal contact. Lol
