We’re not going to see LeBron James ad Kevin Durant square off on the hard court anytime soon, so why not on the gridiron? Stranger things have happened.

Monday night Kevin Durant jumped into a flag football game at Oklahoma State University. If you remember, a month ago LeBron James went out and practiced with his old high school team.

When LeBron heard about KD’s night out Monday he sent this tweet.

He ment “Optimus.” Really. He corrected himself seconds later.

Anyway, it soon led to a little challenge between the two.

And we might have a game. I’d say it all seems a little ridiculous, except for two things.

First, you can bet there are Nike marketing people figuring the best way to make this work as you read this.

Second, if this lockout drags out much longer I’m going to start rooting for this to happen. Just for the action.
