    Yeah, Bron prolly would have been a good TE, but no way would he be entering his 19th season in the NFL. I think we all know he made the right choice.

    But that throw. Dayum!

    right. say he's even the league's best TE ever. what's his total career earnings? what about all the endorsements? if you can play baseball or basketball instead of football, you should definitely do that. i guess unless you're a franchise qb. even then, you better be top-10 for a long period of time, right? otherwise, you'd have been better off as a backup pg.

    And that discounts the beating your body takes in football vs the other major sports

    He'd essentially be Gronk, who's career earnings over 11 years is $70.6m. He gets a lot of endorsement deals, more than anyone else at the position, but Bron can makes that on and off the court in two years if he's in chill mode, otherwise it might only take 12-18 months.

    Chris Vernon said that he had a scout who told him Lebron was the best football prospect he's ever seen after his freshman year lol. I went to college around the area and the word was once guys like Ainge said he would draft him #1 in the NBA after his sophomore year that he totally stopped going over the middle and laying out for balls lol.

    I don't blame him but after watching Antonio Gates go from never having played college football to being a top 3 TE of all time, I highly doubt that Lebron barring injuries wouldn't have been a star in the NFL

    I know. I think we fans really missed out on something special.

    My dad went to the 1989 All Star game in Anaheim when Bo knocked the shut out of the ball over the CF wall. My dad said it sounded like he hit a golf ball. That’s how clean a hit it was.

    I sound like old fogey now but I think only Randy Moss since has ever given me the chills like watching Bo Jackson and Barry Sanders on the football field back in the day. I know they've been great RBs (Peterson, Henry, etc) but man every time those two got the ball everybody eyes became fixated on them.

    Yeah who needs a guy on the field that could run goal line to goal line in 9.1 seconds?

    That would be a funny gif in the library if he had a Lakers jersey on with that hat and there wasn’t a graphic in front of it. :D

    only snoop is a bigger bandwagon fan than lebron

    last season he was a cowboys fan, now he's rooting for the browns? i remember back in the day he caught heat for rooting for the yankees against the indians in the playoffs. then when the indians made the world series in '16, he was rooting for them
