And please don't tell me he can't take hits...the NBA is a physical game...it's not football...but LeBron gets to the hoop at will no matter who's in the lane and I don't think the NFL has a lot of 7'1" 400 lb. freaks of nature like Shaquille O'Neal, either...who would have made a DAMN good TE...or LT...or DT...
Drop James. Go to the 50th best athlete in the NBA. Now match him against an average NFL WR or CB on speed and strength. Who you going to take?
