Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James is in the conversation as the NBA GOAT, but there's another sport he believes he could dominate and be the best at: Lacrosse.
James admitted as much in a recent video shared by the Uninterrupted, noting that with the way Lacrosse is played, his physical tools and skills are just perfect for the sport.
“If I wasn't the GOAT in basketball, what other sport I would be the GOAT in? Lacrosse. And I'd be a beast out on the field. It's fast, it's physical, I got pretty good accuracy when it comes to things,” James shared.
It would have been interesting to see LeBron James play Lacrosse and see how he performs against other players of the game. But to be fair, what the Lakers star said is quite believable given that he's a real freak of nature. He can dominate in any sport he wants if he focuses on them. Just look at how he has been thriving in basketball in the NBA even as he nears his 40s.

He's one of the best, if not the greatest player to step foot on the NBA hard court, and his fans certainly wouldn't wish to see him choose a different sport.
"If I wasn't the GOAT in basketball, what other sport I would be the GOAT in? Lacrosse. And I'd be a beast out on the field… I got pretty good accuracy when it comes to things."

For his critics, though, it certainly doesn't look like James will ever get tired of shutting him down.
