J.R. Smith and LeBron James want to play some college football.
The Cleveland Cavaliers attended Ohio State's 30-27 win Saturday over Michigan, which got them thinking about trading the hardwood for the football field.
In a video for Uninterrupted, Smith asked if he and James - who both entered the NBA out of high school over a decade ago - are eligible to play in the NCAA since they didn't go to college.
James said they should be allowed, adding, "I'm trying to play snaps for the Ohio State Buckeyes. Straight up. Get it!"

The duo played catch on the field at Ohio Stadium ahead of the contest.
