Lebron Convinced He Would Have Made An NFL Team During 2011 Lockout
In a recent interview with the Atlantic, Lebron James spoke about that time during the 2011 NBA lockout he considered working out for an NFL team:
“I would have made the team,” he said. “I would have tried out, but I would have made the team. One thing about it, I don’t mind working for something, so if I would have had to try out for the Cowboys or the Seahawks, or if I’d have stayed home and went back home to Cleveland, I’d have tried (out), but I would have made the team. I just know what I’m capable of doing on the football field. Especially at that age.”
Lebron may be failing to realize the amount of tackling that occurs in football, but it’s fun to fantasize about Lebron James Seahawks Tight End fanfiction.
