With the NBA lockout having no end in sight, could Miami Heat’s Lebron James take his talents to the great Northwest and join the NFL’s Seattle Seahawks?
Well if head coach Pete Carroll could have his way, James would certainly have a spot on the Seahwaks’ roster and it all started when James asked what the deadline was so he could latch on to an NFL squad.
Enter Carroll.
Checkout what Carroll had made up for James (via Eye-On-Basketball) in order to entice him to put on the pads for Seattle.
Obviously James was kidding and it would be highly unlikely he would hit the turf for Seattle. Not to mention the front office out in Miami would be more than happy to break the “no contact” rule and take on the hefty fine during this lockout to tell him to reconsider.
Still the thought of James putting on the pads would be interesting. To my knowledge, I do not think there has ever been a two-sport athlete coming from the NBA. Dion Sanders did the NFL and MLB so if James were to actually take up on Pete’s offer, he would make sports history.
You got to wonder if James would have another ESPN spectacle to announce he is taking his talents to rainy Seattle.
Nonetheless, Seattle could use all the help they can get. Have you seen their record?
OK so how many of you are going to want to get their hands on that jersey?
