  I agree, this is pretty cool, shows how much of a class act Lebron is, I couldnt see Kobe doing this.

    Really?  I could see Kobe doing something like this.  He is actually really good with kids' events.  Plus it would give him an opportunity to show off, which we all know he loves so much.

      I actually remember Kobe on one of those "My Wish" segments on SportsCenter and he was great with the kid. I actually kind of liked him for about a minute or so...Then he dunked on the kid and called him a punk bitch.

  Great vid Ryne!  It's great to see Bron showing competitive spirit by asking for best out of 3.  Think Bron can do backflips?

LeBron Loses to a Warehouse Worker in a Game of H-O-R-S-E
SLAM Online — by Marcel Mutoni LBJ, still flying high after winning Gold in Beijing, was brought back down to Earth a little yesterday at Venice Beach when he faced a completely unknown challenger in a promotional game of H-O-R-S-E. LeBron lost the outdoor game to someone named David Kalb, a warehouse worker. From the AP: Kalb’s bag of trick shots including one where he bounced the ball very high in the lane, raced around the goal post, caught the ball as it came down, and tossed it in the basket. James missed his try, and after losing the first game, declared best two-of-three. Each ...

Down Goes The King
BallerBlogger.com — LeBron James lost two games of H-O-R-S-E to Cub Cadet’s Trick Shot Challenge champion David Kalb today. From the Associated Press via ESPN.com: “James was on an outdoor court at Venice Beach to take on David Kalb in a shooting game, mostly of trick shots, although James’ outside shooting touch was way off. At one point, he grinned and said, “That wind.” Kalb won the matchup with James in an online contest, “LeBron’s Trick Shot Challenge sponsored by Cub Cadet.” Kalb’s bag of trick shots including one where he bounced the ball very high in the lane, ...

Homicide and His Street Cred & Lots More
JR, On Fire — "Homicide" Williams talking himself up in the Garden. Thanks to my main man at World Hoops Blog. He gave me the heads up on my backcourt running mate Corey "Homicide" Williams being ranked #5 of the playgrounds in New York City over the summer. The rankings came courtesy of Bounce Mag. After dusting the Melbourne Tigers tonight (more on this later) I had a little chat about this article with "Homicide". He believed the magazine had the top 5 picks correct as they selected a team by position, not just the ...

Worst Evers: H-O-R-S-E beatdowns
Basketbawful — It's good to be King, right? Not when you get your Royal Ass handed to you in a H-O-R-S-E competition by -- wait for it -- 26-year-old warehouse worker. Here are some video highlights: The conquering hero is David Kalb, who won the matchup with James in an online contest, "LeBron’s Trick Shot Challenge sponsored by Cub Cadet." Evil Ted and I watched the video together, hooting and high-fiving the whole time, and by the time LeBron missed that banked three-pointer, ET said: "That kid's in Lebron's head." He was. And Kalb new it. "After I beat him, he's like ...

Video Of Lebron Getting Destroyed In A Game Of H-O-R-S-E
AwfulAnnouncing — After this video, I think I'm changing my stance on the whole Bill Simmons' "H-O-R-S-E at the NBA All-Star Game" idea because it's boring it's boring as hell to watch people play the game. Buuuuut the video definitely still has it's moments. If you wait until the end you get the "Awkward White Dude Backflip, Off The Backboard Oop To Lebron" moment. Here's some background on the event I mentioned in the Lebron rap post below. Via SI.... James was on an outdoor court at Venice Beach to take on David Kalb in a shooting game, mostly of trick shots, although James' outside shooting touch was way off. At one ...

Random Guy Destroys LeBron James in H-O-R-S-E
SPORTSbyBROOKS — 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. Video of Kalb’s victory after the jump. (more…) Share This

MOUTHPIECE Blog // A Chicago-Addled Sports Blog — David Kalb, warehouse manager, man of the people, defeated LeBron James in a game of H-O-R-S-E yesterday.

SOME GUY BEAT LEBRON
With Leather - Sports news and gossip, panda sex, and the occasional Toonces the driving cat Photoshop — Apparently now that he’s won a gold medal, Bron-Bron is going back to shooting like he did in the Eastern Conference Finals. 26-year-old baldie and former high school basketballer David Kalb won a game of H-O-R-S-E in “LeBron’s Trick Shot Sweepstakes” against the event’s eponymous personality void at Venice Beach.

Jordan vs. Bird: The Greatest Game of H.O.R.S.E!
The Hoop Doctors — October 9, 2008 - Dr. Dime Michael Jordan is the greatest NBA basketball player to ever live, and in many folks eyes Larry Bird isn’t that far behind him. So who would win in a game of H.O.R.S.E.? Actually first-off does being a great NBA basketball player necessarily translate into creative and innovative basketball competitions like H.O.R.S.E., American 21, or Around the World? The answer is ‘not necessarily’, as we saw this summer when Lebron James, one of the NBA’s best players, was taken to school in a game of H.O.R.S.E ...

H-O-R-S-E Participants Decided for All-Star Weekend!
Blaze of Love — The NBA finally announced its participants to the much anticipated H-O-R-S-E competition during this weekend's NBA All-Star game festivities.  Last year's competition with NBDL players was such a huge success that the league responded and brought it back!  Only this time with actual basketball players... Current "Blazers Killer" Kevin Durant leads the 3-man group and is joined by potential Rookie of the Year candidadte O.J.Mayo and All-Star reserve Joe Johnson.  It sounds like the contest will be held outside of the actual arena which I have mixed feelings about.  Still should be a lot of fun! ...
