Hooped Up

I am a huge NBA basketball fan but,  running a close second is definitely NFL football.  I can hear John Madden already with the “BOOM!”, “NFC, NFC” and Horse Trailer talk already. So with a new NFL season kicking off today, let’s get a look at who in the NBA could play in the NFL today and I mean for real…”BOOM!”

LeBron James
In high school LeBron James was a First-Team All-State wide receiver and was highly recruited by college scouts. With his mix of great hands, size and leaping ability James would be a defensive coordinators nightmare.  Just as big as the Linebackers in short yardage situations and bigger that your DB’s when you need to send it long.  

King James would still be King James!

Scouting Report
Player: LeBron James

LSU centre Glen “Big Baby” Davis will skip his senior year to enter the NBA draft.”After my toughest year, I now feel I am physically and mentally ready for the NBA,” Davis said at Tuesday’s announcement.

Coach John Brady said last week the 6-foot-9, 290-pound junior had been meeting with agents and was leaning toward turning pro. Davis averaged 17.7 points and 10.4 rebounds this season, missing several games late in the year because of a strained quadriceps.
