LeBron James knows all about the potential repercussions of playing football.
The Cleveland Cavaliers superstar was a standout all-state wide receiver at St. Vincent-St. Mary High School in Arkon, Ohio, and stopped playing football following his junior season after fracturing his wrist.
James' kids, LeBron Jr. and Bryce Maximus, are getting into sports, but their father won't let them play football.
"Only basketball, baseball and soccer are allowed in my house," James told ESPN.com.
James said the decision to keep his children away from the football field is because of the health dangers affecting players of the sport.
Bryce Maximus, 7, is into soccer while 10-year-old LeBron Jr. has started focusing on basketball.
