Don’t Worry LeBron, These Athletes Looked Like Idiots Too

Welcome back Violent J, who’s making his triumphant return to The Angry T.

TMZ, the same website that reported acquitted murderer Robert Blake was wearing a sleeveless shirt to a restaurant, also was the first to show us Xavier sophomore Jordan Crawford’s two handed facial of King James on Wednesday. You probably haven’t heard of Crawford, since he sat out last year after transferring from Indiana to Xavier, but the thought of anyone posterizing the reigning MVP was exciting news to sports fans everywhere.

As much as we idolize our top athletes and put their accomplishments on pedestals, we almost enjoy watching them get knocked down a few pegs even more. And while some of these humanizing moments happen at the end of their brilliant careers, watching hall of famers get taken down a notch is always interesting at the very least.

Here is just a brief sampling of some of the greatest athletes of all time not looking so great:

Michael Jordan getting crossed over by Iverson

I remember everyone saying how this was a changing of the guard, with Iverson just coming up in the league and Jordan at the very end of his prime. This is probably the closest thing you could compare to the Crawford / James dunk, since the other embarrassing Jordan moments were way out of his prime with the Wizards (missed dunks) and in retirement (losing to a CEO in 1 on 1).

Muhammad Ali vs Larry Holmes

Ali was not allowed out of his corner after the 10th round, and it is widely believed that it was fights like these at the end of his career that have caused the health problems he experiences now. Watching Ali get beat up by a guy he would have absolutely destroyed ten years earlier was sad to watch.

Dikembe Mutumbo wishing he had never wagged his finger

When you are a brash defender who lets people know it, you can expect it to be big news when someone goes nuts to chin on you.

Hulk Hogan loses title to Andre the Giant (RIP)

“Watcha gonna do brotha when emotional side effects of steroids runs wiiiiiiilllllllddddd on you?”

Favre’s 300th Interception

Considering this guys is considered one of the greatest QB’s of all-time, I think its odd that every NFL fan has a memory of him making a terrible throw.

Tiger Woods Failing to make the cut at this year’s British Open

Watching the greatest golfer of all-time not make a cut during a major was major news recently, however even the great ones like Nickalus ( 7 missed cuts before the age of 40) and Palmer (5 missed cuts before the age of 40) fall on their face occasionally at golf’s greatest stages.

Barbaro at the Preakness

Sing along with me:

Like A Comet
Blazing ‘Cross The Evening Sky
Gone Too Soon

Like A Rainbow
Fading In The Twinkling Of An Eye
Gone Too Soon

Shiny And Sparkly
And Splendidly Bright
Here One Day
Gone One Night

Like The Loss Of Sunlight
On A Cloudy Afternoon
Gone Too Soon

Like A Castle
Built Upon A Sandy Beach
Gone Too Soon

Like A Perfect Flower
That Is Just Beyond Your Reach
Gone Too Soon

Born To Amuse, To Inspire, To Delight
Here One Day
Gone One Night

Like A Sunset
Dying With The Rising Of The Moon
Gone Too Soon

Tyson knocked out by Buster Douglas

Will the Lebron James Facial be seen as more shocking then Douglas knocking Tyson out?
