10 NBA players who would crush the Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest
LeBron James
LeBron James is the best player in the league and a freak athlete. If LeBron James chose to play any other sport besides basketball, he’d dominate that as well. So, if LeBron were to enter the hot dog eating contest, he’d make it competitive.
The good news for LeBron is that the Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest only takes place once a year. That means that he’s free to train and rest every other day of the year. We all know how much LeBron loves his rest. A well-rested LeBron is a scary LeBron.
The bad news for LeBron is that he’d have to give up wine during his training. The only thing LeBron loves more than his rest is his wine. He drinks wine in the driveway just because it’s Friday. Consuming too much wine before stuffing 50 hot dogs and buns down your throat probably doesn’t end well. But, this is LeBron we’re talking about. If anyone is going to drink a bottle of wine, eat more hot dogs than should be humanly possible, and keep it all down. It’ll be him.
LeBron would eat his heart out, but it wouldn’t be enough. If he couldn’t beat four All-Stars, how could he beat the greatest eater of all-time in his prime? Add another strike to his legacy.
