LeBron James recently did an interview with GQ Magazine, and for reasons known only to GQ, they decided to fly 5 of their staffers out to Cleveland to play against LeBron in a pickup game. We are in a recession, right?
Anyway, it seems the original plan was to play 5 on 1, but the idea of LeBron dunking on all of them every time must not have appealed to King James, so they instead played 3 on 3. As you can probably guess, even with 2 gawky white dudes on his team, and LeBron playing at about 25% and shooting only infrequently, it was an epic beat down. Here's the carnage below.
By the way, that last shot seems like it came from 40-feet, at least.
Anyway, while I realize LeBron is arguably the best basketball player on the planet right now (it's either him or Kobe), I always like watching videos like this to see the difference between a weekend warrior and a pro athlete. The gap is enormous beyond belief, and the pro athlete usually is barely breaking a sweat.
So when you hit that fadeaway jumper at the Y, and say to yourself, "I'm pretty good", just remember that no, you're not really that good.
