Scalabrini challenge


Honestly on some of these he doesn't look terribly smooth

Although there is no way to tell how good the civilians are either. They might be very very good

Dude is an absolute child. The same game Jacque in Houston, sat him on the bench because he was an absolute nightmare. Dude wouldn't huddle with the players, ignored everybody. Cussed him out.

I have no doubt why Doc Rivers sent his arse to the lockeroom a few games ago.

i love when he challenged anyone in the Boston area to play him one on one cause he was tired of hearing about how much he sucked

he played against several guys who played college and/or thought they could beat him

he beat them combined like 40-4 or something like that

No, he hand-picked the players and they all sucked.

If it was open to anybody, he would have faced much tougher competition.

Go watch the video, he looked terrible even though he won. He looks like a big guy who was a former high school player you'd find playing at the rec center. Not an NBA player.

Reminds me of a time in HS I was with a buddy with floor seats at an NBA game. Charles Oakley called by buddy a "fat **** bitch" and told the ref to kick him out and cut him off. I think we were 16. It was however awesome and courtside seats are the best. that was the only time I've ever sat there.

Truth is, the worst pro athlete is someone no one knows, because they're the worst. You need to qualify it a bit, like worst starter you've ever seen or worst player with a minimum of 5 years.

his point was that average joes could not beat him, not other pros

he lead USC in scoring twice and played many years in the NBA

I don't know about worst, but I have no idea how Bartolo Colon has acheived as much as he has, and how he's still in the league. I know he's on PEDs, but he's not muscular or even really fit. He's just a slovenly fat load.

Kris Karter.

Houston Astros.

I was just mentioning that he could probably try out for a Class B slow pitch softball team. If you can handle the strikeouts here and there.

I know the guy is really good, but the fact that Jim Furyk's swing is so unorthodox and yet he's one of the best players in the world, blows my mind.

Earl Anthony or Mark Roth. If rasslin counts then it's Gilberg.
