Lebron in the NFL

For almost a year now, a childish debate between NBA team owners and players has raged on. It is a fight over money, with neither side willing to budge an inch. The owners have threatened a lockout this season because no ending seems in sight.

With NBA players in search of jobs for the upcoming season, many have decided to play basketball overseas in Europe this year. However, all-star of the Miami Heat, Lebron James, has another idea in mind for what he might do. Last week, Lebron tweeted ESPN sports reporter, John Clayton, asking when the deadline is for NFL teams to sign free agents.

What appeared as a playful joke has actually become a possibility. The NBA is following through with part of their threat, cancelling the first 100 games of the season, and the rest of the season on hold indefinitely. With Lebron James being an all-state wide receiver in high school, some low caliber NFL teams see Lebron James as a cheap publicity stunt to draw out fans during a rough season.

This is not to say that Lebron James has no chance of success of NFL, but only time will tell.
