LeBron ‘You Can’t Play Football, They’ll Kill You’ Charles Barkley Blasts NBA Players Who Think They Can Play In The NFL

Charles Barkley has some thoughts on NBA players like LeBron James, who think they could easily play pro football.

A few years ago, LeBron told The Athletic that he had seriously considered playing football during the 2011 NBA lockout and was confident he would’ve made an NFL roster.

Before this weekend’s Suoer Bowl, Barkley spoke with The CW’s “Inside The NFL’ and blasted LeBron over his previous comments.

“I always laugh when some of these guys … Uh, LeBron James. Guys like that, talk about they could have played football. And I love LeBron James as a person. But the notion that basketball players can play football. Like, yeah, they could play in high school ‘cause they were bigger than everybody else, faster than everybody else”

“I love these basketball players talking about, ‘Well I was good back then.’ I’m like ‘Dude, you can’t play football. These are grown men out there, they’ll kill you.’”

Barkley also spoke about his own experiences trying to play football.

“I tried to play football for one day, it wasn’t my cup of tea.”
