LeBron James is a man of many talents. During his high school days, James was the top football prospect in the state of Ohio, in addition to being a phenomenal basketball player.
James ultimately chose basketball as his career, and it turned out to be the correct decision. But that doesn’t mean the King completely cut ties off football. In fact, back in 2013, the then-Miami Heat superstar went to his former high school. St. Vincent-St. Mary to unveil their new football uniforms for the season.

Another fan praised James’ decision to choose basketball.
I so would’ve loved to see this man play TE in the NFL for like 10 years… but then we wouldn’t of gotten his 20+ years of basketball. Safe to say he chose correctly 😂

It was a great clip and the cheer from the crowd was enough to tell that fans loved James’ arrival.
James has built a great career while playing basketball, but had he been a bigger star while playing in the NFL? It’s one of the biggest what-ifs in sports history.
Why Did LeBron James Stop Playing Football?
Over the last 20 years, LeBron James has established himself as one of the greatest basketball players of all time.
However, he could have done the same had he decided to focus on his football career. The King once explained why he stopped playing football despite being the number one prospect in the state of Ohio via an Instagram post.
It was simply because his friends didn’t allow him to play football during his senior year. At the end of the day, the risk of injury is far more while playing football.
James may have stopped playing football in high school, but his highlights are always there for fans to enjoy.
As of now, the NBA community is waiting to hear about the King’s decision about his future in the league. He dropped a hint at retiring after getting swept by the Denver Nuggets in the 2023 Western Conference Finals.
