Moss says LeBron would be better than Gates

They both were schoolboy superstars in football and basketball. Moss, twice named Mr. Basketball in West Virginia, opted for football. James, an all-Ohio wide receiver as a sophomore and a junior, chose basketball.

And the way Moss sees it, either decision would have been correct for them.

"LeBron James is the athlete that comes around every so often," Moss told me by phone Monday. "I would put myself in that category. We're multi-talented, able to go out and play different sports, different positions."

LeBron James played football for two seasons at St. Vincent-St. Mary High School, scoring 27 TDs and attracting the attention of Ohio State and Notre Dame.

I agree.
Both of them are amazing athletes that could be one of the best in either sport (Moss could have played baseball or ran track competitively as well)

The King is pretty huge. He would be really hard to tackle. Not sure how much of a blocker or route runner he would be, but LBJ would be clutch in the redzone.
