Watch a game. Watch a highlight video. It's obvious that LeBron is athletic enough to be an NFL player. Let's compare him to another former basketball, Jimmy Graham.

Look at that, they are both 6' 8" as 18 years old. Graham weighed 5 lbs more than LeBron. They are practically the same size.


What kind of measurables did Jimmy Graham show as a Basketball player? Look at his college highlight video, he doesn't look that athletic or explosive.



Compare that to young LeBron's highlights. Does that look like a who doesn't have the hip movement to play in football?


this convo crazy as shyte bro

most of the nfl full of nikkas who would get shifted out their body & couldn't move their feet to stay with their opponents on the court

fukk you gonna do when some nikka like cupcakd or one of them new prototype built cats like bol² shuffling their feet like guards

if you can stick elite guards & wings you can play db damn near because elite wr's stay saying their bag comes off the harhardwood

stevie johnson keenan allen nuk hopkins devante adams calvin ridley etcetera etcetera etcetera stay talking about hoops when they talk about creating space vs. corners

i forgot which one said it but basically said db's can't do shyte with him because db's can't hoop

ha

& you know what's crazy compared to nba nikkas none of them nfl route runners can hoop

so what that mean when it comes to being elite talking about being shifty & having fluid hips¿

Breh don't come in and talk about shyt you know nothing about. :laff:



Jimmy Graham quit his high school football team after his freshman year. Six years later he played six months of college football, where he caught just 17 passes for 213 yards. That's his entire fukking college career. He didn't even play spring ball.

LeBron was All-State WR in Ohio both years that he played varsity (sophomore and junior seasons). He caught 103 passes for 2,065 yards and 23 touchdowns. At one point he was ranked as the #1 football prospect in the state and he was recruited for football by Notre Dame, Ohio State, Alabama, and Miami. Urban Meyer said when he saw him that he could have been a star.




LeBron's amateur football career was waaaaaay better than Jimmy Graham's.

If a guy can fix a motorcycle, why can't he fix a plane? I mean they are both great mechanics right?

Because without actually seeing him do it, nothing in basketball is going to tell us that he can


Except, you know, if he started fixing planes in high school and was really fukking good at it, but became an elite F1 mechanic instead. There'd be little reason to doubt that he could have been an elite plane mechanic too if he had gone that route.

I don't understand the part of the argument that acts like Bron has never been on a football field before. He was there and he was elite.



Ok lets wrap this up.. What MEASURABLE attributes, outside of height, does Bron have that DIRECTLY relates to being an NFL player...

Elite vertical

Elite speed (his high school coach thinks he ran around a 4.5, Bron said in 2013 that he was running 4.6 in Miami workouts and he was nearly 30 then)

Soft hands

Doesn't have stiff hips, plays every position despite being 6'8" and can even defend point guards

Workout warrior in the weight room who can put on serious weight with very little body fat

Elite sports IQ and a student of the game

And he played two years at an elite level in high school, could enough for everyone with experience who was around him to say that he would have been a great.

Exactly what does he not have?



There is no relatable skill in JUST being tall... There is also no relatable skill that says because you are amazing in basketball, that means you will be amazing in football. And here we have not only a football player, but a locker room full, all saying HELL NO


:mjlol: at LeBron "just being tall".

The guys in the locker room are in their feelings about a non-football player being elevated above them, of course they're gonna talk that way.

Bron's high school DC was an 11-year NFL vet at strong safety who is in the Green Bay HOF (Matt Murphy). He says Bron is a top-5 wide reciever he ever saw, played with, or coached. And that's counting Rice, Largent, Sharpe, and Lofton.

Randy Moss said he thinks LeBron would have been better than Antonio Gates the moment he stepped on the field.

J.D. Brookhart, who coached Larry Fitzgerald and Antonio Bryant and who was the head coach at Akron so he saw James plenty, says Bron would have been an All-Pro WR.

Urban Meyer, who actually went to Akron to recruit James, said Bron had the potential to be a 1st-round draft pick and a Hall of Famer. Most of the other major football powers were recruiting him too. Kinda think they know his game more than random players in a locker room who never even saw him play.

Just cause proven coaches and players say it doesnt etch his success in stone. It is still conjecture. Coaches/players are wrong in their assesments all the time. Lebron dominated in HS, look how many players dominated in college and didnt sniff success in the NFL. Ppl thought Lavar Arrington was the next LT, Courtney Brown was supposed to dominate fot 15 years at a White/Smith level, Reggie Bush was being called the next Barry Sanders and a moden Gale Sayers. Wasnt Jimmy Clausen was called the Lebron of HS football? How did that turnout?? Wasnt Rick Mirer being called the next Joe Montana? There a re scouts that thought Ryan Leaf would be superior in the NFL to Peyton Manning. Many NFL experts thought that Tony Mandarich would revolutionize the OT position. How many next LT's and Barry Sanders have been predicted that failed miserably?? Bo Schembechler and many more Michigan men predicted that Drew Henson would be a HOF QB. They have way more insight than us, why were they wrong?? Mike Williams dominated at the highest level of college footballl and totslly flamed out in the NFL. I watch Braylon Edwards abuse DBs at Michigsn only.to be merely above average in the pros. Charles Rogers(RIP) was an athletic phenom in COLLEGE with blinding speed, body control, hands, agility on a 6'2 and a half frame. He was supposed to dominate in the NFL. He got hurt and never regained his form. Some scouts said that Joey Harrington would be the next Brett Favre. All those scouts and coaches predictions meam what?? Eveb the best of the best eff up draft selections(Walsh, Wolf, Polian). Walsh thought Giovanni Carmazzi had greatness in him.
