Lets have a little common sense here...
Guys would rather collect 8 times more as a 12th man in the NBA than bust their ass in the NFL and deal with all of the health risks later on in life for a fraction of the money that isn't guaranteed in the first place...
which is why Tony G always wanted to be in the NBA but he was never good enough...
In the NBA closed down for good and you could no longer make money playing professional basketball...the NFL would be taken over by NBA players...plain and simple...at least the skill positions like WR/TE/CB and possibly even LB and S and DE etc...

whoa, it was just a fantasy situation. Sure, business-wise for Lebron to go to the NFL would be dumb. But he loves football more than basketball, and it has always been a dream of his to play in the NFL. I was just saying he would be successful in the NFL.
