Could "King" James make it in the NFL?

I dont think LeBron would have a problem playing in the NFL, its not like he's talking about playing baseball - he wouldnt make a high school team in that sport.

Oh! these lockouts....now taking my talents to the NFL, please!!

I think people are underestimating both the brutality and strategy associated with basketball...but that doesn't mean LeBron would be successful in the NFL...well depends on how we're defining successful

Those of you old enough will remember when Bo Jackson signed w/the Raiders & said he would play football half a season as a "hobby." So many nfl players spoke up, pissed at him. then he came in & ran people over & everyone talked about how great he was.

It is different for Lebron though, like you said - 10 years. Bo was only away for 2-3 I think.

If Bo Jackson would've just stuck to football he very well could've been one of the very best ever. Rare rare combination of ridiculous speed and power.

Bo Jackson is of a rare breed. Not going to find that people with that type of physical ability, talent and the skill to apply it to multiple sports.

Come playoff time the intensity of the game makes it almost comparable to football. I just can't imagine what James would hope to accomplish aside from a little attention. There's no Basketball right now, but we haven't forgotten he's out there.

And no, LeBron is not of the same pedigree.

Make it? Yes.

Last more than a season? No.
