Video Games LeBron James Should Have Joined

It doesn't matter if you're a sports-hating gamer that can't tell the difference between Michael Jordan and Wayne Gretzky...you heard LeBron James' name yesterday. Here's a brief recap for those unfamiliar with the situation:

LeBron James is good at basketball. You may have heard of basketball thanks to a popular video game from the mid-90s called NBA Jam. This man used to play for the Cleveland Cavaliers, and he announced yesterday that he will be now be playing for the Miami Heat.

Now that we're all up to speed, we started thinking about a more extreme career move for King James. Sure, anyone can move from team to team in their own sport, but it would take some serious skill to show off your abilities in an entirely different medium altogether. Here are a few games that we think would have made for a better decision than the Heat.

Mega Man


Super Mario Kart

Super Smash Bros.

Command & Conquer: Red Alert 2

Shadow of the Colossus
