You think you could beat a professional athlete?

Brian Scalabrine played 11 years in the NBA. He spent most of that time on the bench. This led some Boston fans to think they could beat him. They could not




The first guy was on Syracuse's roster last year and looks good. At least until Scalabrine got the ball and then it was over

I didn't watch the whole thing but it was apparent after Scalabrine took the lead at 2-1 that it was over

to be fair, scal is one of the greatest athletes to ever live. and not just in basketball, he's one of the greatest ever, period.

probably would have been different if they had been put up against a normal pro, and not the legend that is scal.

I would say I could beat a professional athlete so that I could go up against him. But I would probably lose, but at least I could say I played em.

Yes, I could 100% beat up Simon Dumont. 

Any other questions?

Do we have to face them in their own sport? I bet I could beat Shaq in a race, and I could definitely beat Simon Dumont at volleyball.

well it's not really fair picking scal to try and prove that. it'd be like picking michael jordan or lebron. they should pick someone who's at the bottom of the nba, not one of the greatest players in history

This so much.

Trying to beat Scalabrine in basketball is like trying to be a better christian than Jesus.

ummmm false. Syracuse hasn't had a white guy on the starting lineup since Andy Rautins (2009-2010)

I bet I'm a better skier than Tom Wallisch, so long as we stay out of the park.
And I bet I would smoke Lebron James at swimming.
And if I were to take on Roy Halladay at super smash brother id kick his sorry ass
