Adrian Peterson calls himself ‘The LeBron James of the NFL’
James Dator has been covering a wide range of sports for SB Nation for over a decade, with a special focus on the NFL.
Debates are raging over who the LeBron James of the NFL is — because it’s preseason, and there’s nothing better to do. First Jamaal Charles compared himself to the Cavs star, now AP is doing it.
Here are the ways Adrian Peterson and LeBron James are alike:
- All Stars in their respective sports.
- Named Rookie of the Year in their first season.
- Both have been names MVP of their respective leagues.
Here are the ways they’re not alike:
- LeBron has two championships.
- LeBron is in movies.
- LeBron has his own shoes.
- LeBron is a global icon.
There are a lot of differences, but AP is still closer than Charles is.
