LeBron James“… And starting at quarterback for the Miami Dolphins, on loan from the four-time defending NBA champion Miami Heat, the former pride of Akron, Ohio – LeBron James.”
Crazy? Maybe. But that’s the general dream of former NFL quarterback Joe Theismann, who told FOX Sports Florida last week, “Most quarterbacks, when they step on the field, look pretty much the same. But James doesn’t look the same as anybody. I don’t know if any humans look like him. There’s never been a quarterback like him.”
Most any NBA player who has ever tried to guard the 6-foot-8, 250-pound James would agree that no other human may look like him. The guy’s already built like a linebacker, but more like one in a video game, where the biceps and waist are roughly the same size, the shoulders could hold up the Pentagon and the neck could double for an oil drum.
In other words, imagine one of those Transformer robot toys dressed in an NFL uniform and you’ve got a rough idea of what defenses would see if James lined up at QB across the line from them.
Yikes.
