Chiefs’ Travis Kelce Fantasizes About Bizarre Career Swap With LeBron James

There’s not much that Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce has not done in his 11-year career. Three Super Bowls, a number of tight end records and a romantic relationship with Taylor Swift marks the pinnacle of achievement in the NFL. When he retires after the 2025 season, Kelce will leave the game as one of the greatest to ever play his position. But that has not quelled his ambition of being a star basketball player.

On a recent episode of his “New Heights” podcast, he addressed a fan question about which previous guest he would swap lives with. Kelce didn’t have to think for a second about his answer. “My answer is LeBron James because I want to play in the NBA,” Kelce said. “I’ve always wanted to play in the NBA. “It was a dream I’ve had since I was a kid and I would love to know what that dream actually feels like,” Kelce detailed.

Originally from Cleveland Heights, the Chiefs’ star has an affinity for the Cleveland Cavaliers, LeBron’s original NBA team. He had hopes of playing both football and basketball while at the University of Cincinnati.

“To be able to jump as high as he can and slam the ball in the basketball hoop as hard as he can, I would also love to know what that feels like as well,” he continued. Now that use of his outstanding athleticism would be a new venture. However, when considering being in the shoes of an athlete of such a magnitude, would much change for Kelce?

His brand and stardom extends beyond the gridiron and he will likely stay in the public eye after his exit from the NFL. Even with all Kelce has accomplished, that desire to compete on the hardwood may not ever going away. Regardless, Northeast Ohio has claim to two athletes in Kelce and James that are legends in their sport.
