“Taller, Slower Version”: $1,000,000,000 NBA Wizard LeBron James Was Once Equated to Tom Brady’s Chosen Weapon Who Ordered Rookie Julian Edelman Around

In the NBA, there are a multitude of current and former players, but LeBron James stands apart with his exceptional abilities. Standing tall at 6’9″, he has earned a reputation as one of the greatest basketball players in NBA history. While his prowess on the basketball court is widely recognized, many believe that James possesses a unique versatility suited for multi-sport endeavors, a sentiment shared even by the player himself.

On one occasion, James likened himself to a seasoned football wide receiver who served as NFL legend Tom Brady‘s trusted weapon for four years. Several years ago, a newspaper clipping too highlighted the 38-year-old James’ innate football skills, drawing comparisons to the favored wide receiver who, in his early days with the Patriots, gave orders to rookie Julian Edelman. This intriguing clipping resurfaced in an online quiz by ESPN.

The undeniable truth about LeBron James

ESPN recently posed an intriguing question on Twitter, asking sports fans to name an athlete who would excel in a different sport. In response, one fan shared an old newspaper clipping, suggesting that LeBron James would have dominated in the NFL. The clipping described “LeBron James, the nation’s premier basketball prospect who is a taller, slower version of Randy Moss.”

It praised LeBron’s exceptional attributes, such as huge hands, impressive route running, leaping ability, and surprising speed for his size. Even during his appearance on Monday Night Football with the Manning brothers in 2021, LeBron himself recognized the similarities between him and Randy Moss, particularly in their strides and ball-catching abilities.

The 46-year-old Moss, highly regarded by Tom Brady as the number one receiver, made headlines recently when his former teammate Julian Edelman shared insights about their relationship.

Julian Edelman once danced to Moss’s playbook tunes!

In a recent interview on the podcast show “New Heights” with the Kelce Brothers, 37-year-old Julian Edelman fondly reminisced about the times when he was a rookie and a newcomer in the Patriots squad. Edelman sought advice and tips from his fellow teammates, and his interactions with Randy Moss, among others, left a lasting impression on the wide receiver’s memory.

During the conversation with Travis and Jason Kelce, Edelman playfully revealed how NFL Hall of Famer would boss him around and even assign him chores. He recalled being nicknamed ‘Edelnut’ by the 6’4″ tall Moss during his rookie year. Moss’s bossy nature sometimes even made him nervous, but he also appreciated the valuable wide receiver lessons he received from Moss about the position. While Edelman had the opportunity to play alongside both Tom Brady and Randy Moss, it’s intriguing to wonder how $1 billion LeBron James would have fared in fulfilling his childhood dream of playing football with Moss in later years.
