Amen, NBA players cry when the get touch fouls.

Lebron would be a ridiculous receiver. Hes very fluid and fast in the open court and he'd probably be able to run very good routes. He also has incredible body control and has a huge vertical. I'm pretty sure he'd be an all pro receiver if he chose football over basketball.

I think Kobe and Marion would be pretty good receivers too if they chose football. Kobe is athletic and has really good footwork and amazing body control. Barbosa would probably be a decent running back if he really bulked up.

Lebron would be a great NFL WR, the only problem is he cant bite his nails through his gloves

Once again see Matt Jones. Dude is a freak of an athlete as well, but he doesn't cut it either. There is a certain bit of toughness that all people must endure to be an NFL player and neither one has it. Some one posted earlier that Lebron has fluid hips. His hips are to stiff. Straight line runner without pads Lebron is fast. Keep in mind without pads.

All in all though there is no and I mean no player that you could take from one sport to another today and consider him to be great at that level. I think the easier transition would be from football to basketball for one huge reason. Any NFL player can step outside and strap on a pair of sneakers and play a pick-up game, but no NBA player can strap on cleats and shoulders and play a pickup game of football.

Matt Jones isn't the athlete Lebron is...I don't care what time Jones ran in the 40, when it comes gametime dude is not that fast

I loved Grants game but he never was even close to the fastest NBA player...

AI, Barbosa & Tony Parker have that on lock

It's hard to imagine because they're considered small but barbosa & paker are like 6'3 and 6'1 respectively, which would be pretty decent height for a WR....I could see Parker more so because of his body control
