Once upon a time, Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James was a top receiver in high school. While he eventually chose to become a professional basketball player, James' football chops are well intact. In fact, he showed off his inner Odell Beckham Jr. on Sunday ahead of their duel with the Toronto Raptors.
Peep James' one-handed catch below. Lakers fans are well-aware of their team's pre-game football antics. Sometimes James shows off his quarterback skills. But this time around, he showed off why he could have been a top wide receiver if he continued playing football.

Some really believe that James could've been one of the best wideouts that the world has ever seen. The Lakers superstar stands 6-foot-8 blessed with a monster vertical and brute strength. Not even double or triple coverage could disrupt him.
With all due respect bron could of been a hall of fame WR.

We may never see James become a professional wide receiver. But one fan believes that James will suit up soon for the Los Angeles Rams.

For those non-NFL fans unfamiliar with Odell Beckham Jr., below is his epic one-handed catch which many believe is one of the best catches in NFL history. It's a great display of a player putting his god-given gifts to good use. The great thing is, Beckham actually practices these types of catches. So it wasn't just luck and pure skill. The man has put in the work.
