The King found a loophole he could exploit
Shortly after winning his third Olympic gold medal, NBA icon LeBron James is considering his next career move, thanks to an unlikely source of inspiration.
LeBron has tried podcasting, but that only landed him a new head coach for the Los Angeles Lakers. He wasn’t afraid to attempt a James Bond impression, but his acting could use some work. He has already inspired a new generation of college students with his I Promise School in Akron, but now James has his eyes on his own scholastic career.
A prodigious basketball talent, LeBron James skipped NCAA athletics and went straight into the NBA Draft out of high school. He never looked back… until now, that is.
Who is Monte Harrison? The 29-year-old college football player
King James shared an Instagram post from ESPN highlighting the 29-year-old freshman who was an MLB player before deciding to play college football for the Hogs.
“Me when I retire from the league! Haha!” the 39-year-old wrote on his IG story, paired with a thinking face emoji.
Could LeBron James play in college?
“lebron when he retires and becomes the greatest college basketball player of all time,” said one of the most popular comments on the original post about Harrison.
The Lakers star didn’t specify which college sport he was thinking about playing, but he still has unused NCAA eligibility.
Like the fan pointed out, basketball would probably be too easy for James, but he would almost certainly command the largest NIL deal in NCAA history.
This year he will fulfill his dream of playing alongside his son Bronny James in the NBA.
Could he chase the same goal when his younger son Bryce James goes off to play in college?
Like Harrison, he could also pivot from his chosen profession to football with ease.
James was a high school football legend in Akron before specializing in basketball, and he reportedly got offered tryouts by multiple NFL teams, including Jerry Jones and the Dallas Cowboys, during the NBA lockout in 2011.
If you thought a 29-year-old college football player was crazy, imagine seeing 40-year-old LeBron James in freshman orientation.
