Any other former D1 football players on here get mad when these geeks say Lebron would be a star

:rudy: I was posting on SOHH when I was actually playing. I never said no shyt to out myself, but there's a lot of cats on here that played D1 at least. There's probably a few in the league on here too laughing at some of the shyt y'all come up with.



3 of those 5 played football first and basketball was just some shyt on the side.....and quite honestly only Gates and TG are greats on that list....and Gates was supposed to play football for Michigan State so it's not like he was some cat that never had football talent, just put on cleats, and destroyed cats. Iverson has too slight of a frame to play past college. He killed cats in high school, but he would've been injured every other play or bulked up too much to negate his quickness/speed. Bron would be good, but don't act like he ain't captain of the freakish athletes hall of fame.

Ole boy's point does stand though. Most of y'all barely played high school. The savagery of the sports kicks up a notch in college and kicks up even higher in the pros. The speed and collisions don't translate on TV, but if you can ever get sidelines passes you'd be freaked out at how fast they're colliding into each other.

Doesn't matter if your superior athletically,I had coaches begging me to play after they saw me dominate at receiver in gym class:banderas:...Once caught 4 touchdowns in a matter of minutes,one was one handed,all naturally:whoo:

Lebron would be superior to just about everybody on the field just like he is in the NBA,its really just mathematics...Do the hits actually effect people who are successful?Have you ever seen anybody who was great quit because of the hitting out of curiosity?Or do people usually quite right away if they cant take the hitting?I doubt cats who got hit in HS make it to college and decide 'Damn they hitting too hard now:why:"...Have yall really seen that?

OP is wrong
I'm 6'2 with a 4.3 track time.
Played both football and basketball in high school. Had multiple offers to schools like USC and Florida.
I probably would've made pro, but I was afraid of the injuries, so I stopped. Point is that a great athlete in basketball can easily play football(see Jimmy Graham).

Imagine if Randy Johnson was a quarterback


He's a top 5 pitcher ever so you know he got arm strength but imagine a 6'10 QB with the best arm ever


Bet he'd have been a nice PF too. Nasty attitude.

Yes you can - not sure who shall be giving those couple of dollars to you but yes, you can borrow them.

I'd probably spend it on women we booze. Unless I could invest it. .

Yep. I've seen cats come out for a single practice, get hit once then leave. I've seen a cat that was a consensus all American leave after a year cause he couldn't take it. What school you go to? Because they might have wanted you to come out and be practice bait. I've seen that too.

I shared my story on here before, I played D-1 football so It's hard to say if lebron would've been a star or not. Most likely a he'd be a D-1 TE, the thing is you have to do a LOT of blocking & he would always have smaller safeties & LB attacking his legs.

He made the right decision from a financial standpoint. He is basically his own brand playing basketball, unless he was a top NFL QB that wouldn't happen in football.
