Proof that NBA players are getting bored during the lockout, NBA superstar Lebron James took to the high school gridiron and practiced in full gear for the St. Vincent, St. Mary football team on Tuesday. James wore it all down to the visor and mouthpiece however, tackling James was off limits (duh!). James borrowed equipment from an injured player who stands at 6’5″ inches tall. No video or pictures available but it is being told that James went up and got every pass thrown his way during the 1 1/2 hour practice session. The 6’8″ James was an All-State wide receiver for St. Vincent, St. Mary Fighting Irish in high school and led the team to the state semi-finals his junior year. A full write up about this story can be found on the Sun Sentinel’s online newspaper click here.
