If LeBron James struggles for the Cleveland Cavs next year, the team can look back to the time when a Joe Blow destroyed him in a game of H.O.R.S.E. for answers. SPORTSbyBROOKS.com has the story of a random guy burying James in the popular schoolyard game.
And he gave a heck of a money quote afterwards. Dan Kalb was selected to play LeBron James in “LeBron’s Trick Shot Challenge” in Venice Beach, California. Not satisfied to merely show up, he took down the Olympian in a best of three round of H-O-R-S-E.
Kalb told the MANSFIELD NEWS JOURNAL “I’m sure it was in fun,” Kalb said, “but part of him was probably thinking, ‘I can’t believe I lost to a bald 26-year-old.’”. No kidding.
Don’t get carried away thinking you can pull this off. Kolb is a trained professional. He played basketball at Wynford High School in Ohio, ample training to take down NBA stars in publicized games of H-O-R-S-E.
I will get carried away. I say the Cavs sign Kolb and trade James immediately. If they can even get anything for LeBron now, that is.
