There is a clear skill and physicality gap between basketball and football. As a result, even though we’ve seen everyone’s favorite coach Deion Sanders take up baseball and football together, no one tries for these two sports at the same time. However, a lot of players from both sides have made claims for their prowess in the opposite sport. Moreover, LeBron James reportedly even had a contract ready from the Dallas Cowboys. But, according to Charles Barkley, his NBA brethren would not fare well in the NFL. Especially King James.

Having become a meme for apparently ‘lying’ on numerous occasions, LeBron again caught flak for his supposed mastery in football.

Charles Barkley refutes LeBron James’ NFL credentials

As a guest on the Dan Patrick show, the Philadelphia 76ers legend was not shy while opening up about the various happenings in sports. Whether it was the ongoing NFL season or the NBA offseason, Chuck was candid about each sphere. However, a question by Dan led to a fiery response from the Phoenix Suns legend.

When asked about the NBA players’ chances of success in the NFL, the Chuckster was adamant in his disapproval. “Well, please don’t say LeBron. This dude be making me so mad thinking he can play football. Yeah, he played football in high school cuz he was bigger than everybody else.”

Barkley’s thought process lies in the difference between college and the professional league. “What’s one thing about the pros? You’re not bigger or faster than anybody else.”?It seems like the Phoenix Suns legend is insinuating that LeBron’s football prowess might be overblown.

This comes after reports of Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones offering James an NFL contract in 2011. Further, the?King?was seen as a standout collegiate football athlete with professional aspirations for the city of Cleveland. But, it might have been another case of “LeCap” rearing its head.

LeBron James – The apparent ‘Liar’

Over the last 6 months, the ‘LeBron James is capping’?meme has become a viral commodity in the NBA fandom. While it began with a hindsight recollection by James predicting the 81-point Kobe Bryant masterclass, the entire ordeal has gone overboard.

Since then, multiple memes have come to the forefront, with the most recent coming after the 4x NBA Champion gave an ‘excuse’ for skipping the dunk contest. Whether the NFL objectives fall under the same ‘lying’ category might forever remain a mystery.
