I Wanna Be Like Mike (Lebron)

Is far as I'm concerned Lebron James should be playing for the USC Trojans. They recently lost to the Oregon Ducks today to bring their loss column to two losses. In addition to that Michael Jordan shoud be playing for the Purdue Boilermakers as their starting Wide Receiver. He should be starting because, statistically, his physical attributes surpass every athlete on the team. Their loss column is also at two.

Lebron should play football: reason number one: His height and weight are optimal for football playing at six foot two, two hundred three pounds. He could definitely dominate the college ranks at such positions as Wide Receiver and Quarterback. He already has experience at wide out so it's intuitively obvious that he would excel at the position. His quickness and agility would conquer any other athlete in, not only the college standings, but the National Football League as well. His vertical leap is better than one of the best in the league in Randy Moss. With Randy Moss doing so well it's easy to compare Lebron to him in wanting to find out who is the better athlete. With RM's vertical leap at 39" and LBJ's at 44" it's blatant that LBJ can take a Tom Brady pass down over the highly talented WR. With vertical leap being such an important factor in winning the battle of coming down with 'the rock' speed is the deciding factor in the battle for a NFL position. Moss takes this statistic as he ran a 4.25 once which is beyond all comparison.

One man of the past that his shined through is the one and only Michael Jordan. He is known as "His Airness" for his jumping abilities and therefore would make him an excellent pick to be an NFL player. Who wouldn't want the one and only MJ on their fantasy team battling it out every Sunday with the Peyton's, the Ladanian's, and the Brady's of the league. Can you imagine MJ going up for a jump ball against double coverage on John Lynch and Champ Bailey? He would come down with the ball and make just another one of his signature plays in professional sports.

Throughout pro sports many great athletes, like MJ and LBJ, have tried other sports like football and baseball. Few have made it pro in two sports, the great ones have, i.e. Bo Jackson and Deion Sanders. These greats come far and few between but I think our era has one in LBJ, if he only tried. Here's to LeBron making an international name for himself and trying out for one of the great NFL teams in our day. Do it LBJ, because we know you can.
