Check out this video of this insane guy who won a contest to play H-O-R-S-E with LeBron James... (http://www.latimes.com/video/?autoStart=true&topVideoCatNo=default&clipId=2876186)

It's like LeBron had never played hoss before.  Some of those were pretty standard hoss shots (over the backboard...) Although the warehouse bankshot into the spinning forklift basket was pretty cool.

Call me when he beats a hoss in a footrace.

A few years back, when Michael Jordan was preparing to come back with the Wizards, he played a pick-up game in a random gym somewhere and had a shot blocked by a 17-year-old.  I hope that kid got video to treasure forever.

If LeBron wanted to win that hoss game badly enough, he'd have just, like, dunked from the free throw line every time it was his turn.

On a related note, my dad worked for an assistant principal who had, back when he was a basketball coach, cut Michael Jordan from the high school basketball team. 

That's not the kind of thing you live down, ever.

Seriously.  That is probably my highest percentage shot, weirdly enough.
