Turn An NBA Player To An NFL Player - Message Board Basketball Forum

Tips4 · 09-13-2006, 02:45 AM

I was watching The Best Damn Sports Show Period and they had Lebron and they were interviewing him. They asked him "What would you be doing if you werent a Pro basketball player?" and he said " A Footbal Player". That got me wondering what position would Lebron play in NFL if he made it, i was thinking WR but i dont know what Lebrons speed is. Soo basically this thread is about current NBA players that could play in NFL(your opinion), what position? Why? and Physical he has that will make him make it in the NFL. I decided to go with Lebron:

Lebron James, Position : DE , Comparision: Julius Peppers

Reason: I wanted to go with WR but i dont know Lebrons speed but i think Lebron would be an excellent DE. He is like Julius a standing around 6-8 and an atheletic freak with excellent speed for that position and both love getting physical.

LeBron played WR in hs and was heavily recruited by college scouts from the top football schools. scouts said he could have been a bigtime player and probably get into the nfl with his size and speed. had crazy hands as well

A.I. to a Mike Vick like quarterback.

There's hundred of WR out there that has a better combination of size and speed than Lebron. Hell there might be a few in the NBA.

david harrison could seriously hurt someone in the nfl. he's so foul prone, he'd probably get flagged in the 1st seconds of the game.

Shaq would be a good the best C offensive or defensive linemen...along with Tractor Traylor, Glen Davis (LSU), Sofoklis Schortianitis and Etan Thomas.

I think Lebron/Carmelo would be good RB or WR

Corey Maggette into a linebacker , Kenyon Martin into a linebacker, Derek Fisher into a FB or RB?
