LeBron James Crossing Over

As I take a much needed break from playing Flight Control on my iPhone, work today, the headline on ESPN is whether or not LeBron would rule on an NFL field. Undoubtedly you have all heard about how good LeBron was in high school, and how his size and athleticism would make him a perfect TE/WR/Safety/whatever else you can make up. But why do we only limit this speculation to Football?

What if LeBron tried to crossover to baseball?  We all know what happens when basketball players try baseball. And, since he was a better basketball player (until proven otherwise), it must be inferred that MJ is better at all things (Admit it, that is the most sound explanation you have ever heard for anything in your life… well, you’re welcome).  However, if he were to be a good slugger, we all know how every home-run would be announced.

Ice Hockey – Come on, we all know LeBron James wouldn’t play hockey

Golf – Probably just as unlikely as hockey, but for completely different reasons. Namely, shear size and athleticism don’t account for much in golf… I mean, look at John Daly.

Soccer – LeBron is not a whiny Euro bitch, he is a real athlete, that plays a real sport, an AMERICAN sport. He leaves the flopping to his teammate Anderson Varejao.

Curling – LeBron could possibly be the most dominant curler in the sport today, but then again I don’t think that takes much talent… I probably could too. Isn’t it just like a giant game of shuffleboard?

Beer pong – Had LeBron gone to college, he had the potential to be the best beer pong prospect we have ever seen. At 6’7″ he has extremely long arms that can extend well down the table, making shots shorter for him. More importantly though, he is extremely clutch. Beer pong is all about sinking the last shot! (My parents are proud of how much knowledge I gained in college on their dime…. Thanks mom and dad!)

Mario Kart – If LeBron James were a Mario Kart character, he would obviously be a larger character. Although being able to push people around because of his size would be an advantage, he would be at a huge disadvantage because he is not small enough for the mach bike. This is by far the best vehicle in the latest and greatest installment of the Mario Kart franchise, Mario Kart Wii. Do not contest this issue, online I am ranked number 1 in the world. I am the Tiger Woods of Mario Kart (Reginald may be the Phil Mickelson to my Tiger).  I will destroy you if you play me… Cool beans?
