There’s a long-standing debate on whether
NBA players would be able to succeed if they played football. While there’s no real way to find out,
basketball players always tend to think they can at least compete at the highest level. During a recent appearance on Knicks teammates Josh Hart and Jalen Brunson’s Roommates Show , Julius Randle talked about his son’s love for football. He also unveiled that when it comes to allowing his kid to take up that sport, he would choose to go the
LeBron James route. The major reason why athletes don’t prefer their kids playing
Football is because of the health risks attached to it. Football is a very physically demanding and dangerous sport, which has a high probability of brain injuries and other kinds of physical damage. In 2014 when LeBron was asked by
ESPN about his kids playing football in the future, he said, “Only basketball,
baseball and soccer are allowed in my house.” So, it’s understandable why Randle doesn’t allow his son to play the sport as well. Julius Randle’s son is made for football Every sport has its distinct qualities and there are players, who have these qualities ingrained in them. For Randle’s son, he surely has the ability to play football or at least that’s what it looks like from a clip of him playing basketball. In a clip shared by ESPN , Randle’s little man can be seen playing basketball. But somewhere in between he got so frustrated by his teammate not passing him the ball that he ended up tackling the other guy.
