With the Yankees trading for Seahawks QB Russell Wilson, I was thinking, if we can sign/trade for NFL players, why not look to acquire some NBA players? If this was a possibility who would be the guy we'd target in the NBA? If we could acquire John Wall or Russell Westbrook as a pinch runner in playoffs, they would be dynamic once we get them some reps to read pitchers and steal bases. I don't expect any of them to hit at an MLB level, so those two guys would be interesting choices as they have an elite skill set. If I was going to be on any player being successful though, I would bet on the obvious choice, Lebron James. Freak of Nature athlete, high IQ on and off the court, I bet if he started playing younger, he could've succeeded in baseball. He was already an elite NFL/NBA talent so there was no need for a 3rd major sport, but I bet he could've.
Here are some references to how dominate he is in his sport
