This was rather surprising giving that James was an excellent football player in high school. The Cleveland Cavaliers superstar revealed this in a recent interview with ESPN’s Chris Broussard. Hit the jump for details.
Via SI.com:
Despite their father’s all-star multi-sport history, LeBron James’s sons are not allowed to play football, the Cleveland Cavaliers forward told ESPN’s Chris Broussard on Sunday.
James excelled as a wide receiver at Cleveland’s St. Vincent-St.Mary’s, catching 27 touchdowns and tallying just over 1,900 yards in his high school career.
In recent years, the four-time MVP and two-time NBA champion has entertained the idea of suiting up for an NFL team.
James did not specify why he doesn’t allow his sons to take the football field, but recent reports about the health risks of football, particularly for young athletes, have made many parents reluctant to let their children play.
