What is often forgotten about Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James is that while he became the biggest high school basketball star ever, he was also the top rated wide receiver in the state of Ohio.
James was a First Team All-State selection as a junior and had numerous Division 1 scholarship offers, though a wrist injury prevented him from playing in his senior season.
With his unreal combination of size, strength, and speed many have speculated that James could have played in the NFL if he chose that route. Considering he’s one of the greatest basketball players of all-time he clearly made the right choice, but picturing him running routes and towering over defensive backs for jump balls is fun as well.
