Still got what it takes?Probably yes.

We have always known LeBron to be a fantastic athlete with almost superhuman physical abilities. What we do not know is in addition to being a star on his high school basketball team, he was an amazing talent on the football field as well.

Playing as a wide receiver for his high school team LeBron in all probability would have received a scholarship to a Division 1 school.
