Jamaal Charles Compares Himself To LeBron James
Kansas City Chiefs running back Jamaal Charles made headlines Saturday when he referred to himself as the “LeBron James of football.”
Charles made the statement when speaking about the attention he draws when going against opposing defenses.
"I feel like that's the only reason we get to stay in the league as long as I can," Charles said. "I feel like if they [can] stop me, then my time is up. As long as I play in this league and play on a high level, I always feel like a team is going to have to stop me. I feel like sometimes I'm the LeBron of football, especially at my position because I can do so much."
While Charles is no doubt one of the premier running backs in the NFL, having rushed for over 1,000 yards in five different seasons, LeBron James is without question the best basketball player on the planet.
James also has a little more hardware in his trophy case.
He is a two-time NBA Champion, two-time NBA Finals MVP and a four-time NBA Most Valuable Player.
Charles has never advanced past the Wild Card round of the playoffs.
