The funny thing was when Michael Pittman, Boston and Thomas Jones play on the Cardinals they had the biggest arms I have ever seen on football player. They must have got a deal on that stuff.

These are some big arms. I am sure it is natural.

Yeah, and the linemen don't hear their names called after a big run, despite them being the reasons for it.

Do you think LeBron can handle that?

Now I'm not saying that he will instantly be Randy Moss...but I think it's jibberish to say that he doesn't already have skills that will help him in the NFL from just being the type of NBA player he is.

It's a completely different ball though and I play basketball all the time and It has never helped me catch a football better than I already can. He has all the "physical" tools IMO but, I just don't think he has the talent to dominate. I think he could compete, just not dominate.

I don't know about out-jumping him....but I know a few who'd KO him and change his mind about being on the field vs. the court

I'm not knocking you, but I hate to do this. I think basketball players are better athletes than football players. One of the most dominate players is Moss. I'm talking young Moss. You guys think he could ball with Lebron at the same age? Michael Jordan played basketball/baseball. Gates/Gonazales/Charlie Sanders (taking it back) played football/basketball. Roy Jones Jr. even played pro or semi-pro ball. TO is a great baller. There are plenty of football players that tried other sports and failed..boxing specifically.

Kinda silly, but :Ballers that could play football
