I find it somewhat hard to believe that Urban had no idea how good he was at basketball. I wonder what year of high school that was.

I've long said that he would have been an absolute monster of a wideout, Hell he could even play tight end. He's ludicrously athletic and physically immense--he could have shined anywhere.

LeBron was a very highly touted Junior football player before he decided to focus full time on buckets. If I'm not mistaken (and I've had a heck of a time finding a link) I thought he was the top rated JR WR in the nation at the time.

4-6 seconds from point A to point B and when you get to point B, be pissed off

he was... anything he wanted to do he would be the #1 prospect.... i mean he graduated highschool at 6'8 250 lbs, supposedly ran a 4.4 with a 44" vert..... he might have gave old mike mitchell a run for his money with the SPARQ record

mark may wins douchebag of the year... again

By my estimation, if LBJ is 6'8 and has a 44' jump, I'm assuming his arms are 36 inches-that means at his heigh LBJ could snag a pass that is 13.3 feet off of the ground.....wow

Sounds right. On a dunk, he can cock his arm back, and still peak above the backboard

@ Brewster - still couldn't catch a Bauserbomb tho....

Bauserbombs transcend logic...the most gifted players can't get their hands on them no matter how high they can jump and regular fans in the stands catch them with ease

If Denard Robinson isn't careful with spooning all that food into his mouth, he's going to end up lookin' like Whoopi Goldberg

The problem with Bauserbombs is that one is 15' over the WR head then next hit the dirt 30' in front of him. LBJ could not jump that high or dive that far to catch the ball.

I'm pretty sure tOSU was recruiting Lebron at the time as well. There are some Lebron football highlights on Youtube. He would have been great at whatever he did.

Bauserbomb....LOL You don't suppose he was one of those guys you keep on your team that look more skilled than they really are in warmups? You know, to make the other team think, man this guy has game....lol
