LeBron James is real good at basketball and probably at all sports.

Presumably he was better at football, which I have no trouble believing. That body on a wide receiver would break the NFL.

If you took Lebron's current build and assumed he would have the acceleration, route running ability, cutting ability and hands of an NFL wide receiver then sure

I mean it's a huge extrapolation, since he stopped playing after high school and who knows what coaching would have done for him. But with that speed and size...

Keep in mind that was high school football, and in Ohio it's pretty much an afterthought compared to other states.

Yeah, imagine highschoolers trying to cover him on a high fade to the corner.

poo poo, that's goaltending. He brushed the rim with his left hand. Basket interference, Warriors awarded the title retroactively.

The NBA is essentially incapable of enforcing its game rules in real time with any consistency when the players are faster than white people from the 1950s.

There is bias but there is also random middle aged dudes in striped shirts trying to figure out what the gently caress someone like LeBron just did that looks like a video game glitch. It was already turning into high speed guessing in the 1980s.

Yeah I don't know how many of you guys have ever tried to actually officiate a game, but it is basically impossible even at low competitive levels. I can't even imagine how fast the pro game must be when you're 5 feet away from it.
