James: The Seahawks sent me a jersey when the NBA was shut down. I have seriously considered joining the NFL

Recently, Lakers forward James participated in DraftKings' NFL betting forecast interview program.

When asked if any NFL teams had contacted him for an invitation, James said: "Of course there were, during the 2010-11 season, we had a shutdown. I was really thinking about it. At that time, I was much younger than I am now and had a lot less wear and tear. Pete Carroll coached the Seattle Seahawks, and he contacted me and actually sent me a jersey, he invited me to go to training camp, and he told me to come over if I wanted to have a tryout.

"That was a cool moment for me because I love football and the NFL so much." I always remember my experience playing rugby and I often dream about these things. Because that was my first athletic love. So thanks to Pete Carroll, for his good luck, he has always been a great person, and I wish him good luck in Vegas this season and hope they can surprise him. When asked if he had seriously considered accepting an invitation from an NFL team, James said: "Before I saw how the NBA season was going, and more importantly - I didn't have a deeper discussion with Pitt before I talked with my family. But I actually started the relevant training, and I talked to my trainer, and we started to do more rugby-related training to see if there is a possibility. Of course, we finally finalized the labor-capital agreement in the fall and returned to the new season around Christmas, but I had seriously considered joining the NFL. That scene will definitely be crazy. ”
