If LeBron James had chosen to play football in addition to basketball, he might have been one of the best multisport athletes in American history. According to Brian Windhorst, James committed to football for a very intriguing reason when he first started playing the game in his sophomore year.
People are inspired by music to take actions they never would have imagined possible. Because playing football involves more physical danger than basketball, it demands more dedication than basketball. Given his success, basketball was the perfect sport for James, but it’s always intriguing to speculate as to how well he may have performed in the NFL.
James might have been a dual-sport athlete in the same vein as Deion Sanders, who participated in both MLB and the NFL.
LeBron James forbade his kids from playing football.
Given his strong attitude against his boys playing football, Windhorst’s claim that James was afraid to play football until his sophomore year makes sense. In 2014, James declared unequivocally that he would not allow his kids to participate in the sport because of the physical risks involved.
“In my house, only basketball, baseball, and soccer are permitted. Until they grasp how physically hard and intense the game is, we don’t want them to play in our home.
James did add a temporary deadline to those first remarks, but Bronny and Bryce James have demonstrated how publicly they conduct their school life. If one of them tried their hand at football, it would make for one of the biggest sports stories ever. Fortunately, they’re dedicated to the game of basketball and, in the next seasons, they might enter the league like LeBron.
Football or basketball was forced to be chosen by Allen Iverson.
Allen Iverson, a football recruit who was ranked when he was in high school, is the only other elite multi-sport athlete from the past three decades. really though Iverson didn’t really enjoy basketball, his mother forced him to choose it over football.
“I thought basketball was soft, and I hated it.” I played football my entire life. My mother told me, “You’re going to basketball practice,” one day. I thought, “Basketball is a soft sport.” I give my mother thanks. I never would have played basketball if she hadn’t told me that day that I was going to practice.
Iverson was a quarterback prospect who was highly regarded. He was ranked higher in the 1995 high school class than Peyton Manning. Iverson was winning both the Division 5 AAA Virginia state championship and the Associated Press High School Player of the Year award in basketball and football. We haven’t seen a dual-sport star like him in a generation.
