David Kalb, a warehouse worker from La Habra, California, won a contest to compete against LeBron James in a game of H-O-R-S-E. Using some bizarre trick shots and benefiting from some lucky misses by LeBron, Kalb managed to win. Via Muttpop.

That would be hilarious to put on a resume.
Defeated NBA player Lebron James in HORSE.

Wow, how does a pro lose at HORSE? Unreal.

If u can't beat 'em, join 'em; haha. Wat a sore loser !

Glad to see King James wasn't a bad sport about it. Pro or not, someone that has practised obscure trickshots to the point of perfection are hard to beat by even the most skilled of players.

Lebron James: HORSE

Those are some amazing trick shots! 
It looked like dunking was not allowed in the game. Lebron would have won handily if it were allowed.

The outcome doesn't really surprise me, how often does Lebron James practice doing weird trick shots.

"Oh, well if dunking were allowed... " guys. Its HORSE. There's no dunking. Besides, when you're that tall, dunking isn't difficult in the least. You're just putting a ball into a hoop once you jump to meet it.

Who says you can't dunk in horse? I've never heard such a rule.
And I'm guessing Kalb can't dunk. Which means if James dunked it every time, he would have won. Obviously that wouldn't be fair since Kalb has physical limitations preventing him from dunking.
But yeah, Kalb trained himself to be a pro-HORSE player, and he won pretty easily. Were they to play a game of 1-on-1, I think James would probably win.

the sad part is the winning shot is a granny shot! wow, poor guy.
Buzz
Different skill sets imo.
Also the 2 to 0 is likely to be 2 HORSE games won to 0.

Underhand from the free throw line? Over the backboard? Come on who hasn't done some of those shots? When I was in my 20's I could hit about seven out of ten from half court. Had I challanged a pro and did better at that one task would that have made me a better player? Of course not. Lebron is a phenomenal player but this wasn't his day at this particular event.

Thought and creativity > brute strength
Just like in most real life endeavors.
