LeBron James laughs off recruiting pitch from Steelers

The Cavs superstar laughed off Steelers players' attempts to recruit him.

“Nah, I’m fine. I’m fine with my sport I got," James told reporters Wednesday when asked if there was interest. "It’s pretty funny, though. I seen some of the edits that they had of me in the Steelers uniform, but I like tank tops and shorts, I’m sorry. I’ve tried the shoulder pads, and it was fun while it lasted, but I’m a tank top and shorts guy.”

Wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster has been lobbying for James to join the Steelers since last month. With James expected to test the free-agent market this offseason, Smith-Schuster thinks he should give the NFL a go.

James played wide receiver for St. Vincent-St. Mary High School in Akron, Ohio, and was even recruited by some Division I programs, including Notre Dame.
