Watched that play happen on TV. Not a huge football fan but I loved the superbowl games back then.

That was an incredible game.

lol poor chargers. that team is cursed i swear

I was working fast food when that Super Bowl took place. Everyone who started to talk about the game we shushed them as I was taping it and a bunch of us were going to my place to watch it after shift. The last costumer of the day in drive thru yells out the Rams tackled him at the goal line to win the game woo hoo. We all just kind of looked at each other and said forget about it, better to just go home and go to sleep then.

So 36 inches then?

My sister dated that dude (Dyson) in highschool.

We invented Handball and its pretty much the National Sport together with football

After the last couple years I'd be surprised if he wasn't getting drunk in public celebrating all that shit.

Considering that (arguably) the best backs currently are the relatively small and nimble Gidsel and Pytlick, I'd say there is no clear advantage to being Lebrons height considering how Handball at the highest level is played at the moment.

Maybe he could use his speed as a winger. Probably the only position he could play.

Yeah, how could this ever be a sport, so weird right?

Outside of countries like France, Germany and Spain, nah no one.

If this is what you're talking about: https://www.nycgovparks.org/facilities/handball then it's the wrong handball.

Thanks, yeah, seems like it is not especially popular outside of Europe. It doesn't seem much like football, which is genuinely popular everywhere. Seems like tennis, golf, basketball, ice hockey, and baseball and maybe more have as much or more widespread popularity.

Men 2023:

• NA: USA was there
• SA: Argentina, Chile, Brazil and Uruguay
• ME: 4 teams
• Africa: 5 teams
• Asia: Korea

Women 2021:

• NA: Puerto Rico (US)
• SA: Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay
• ME: Iran
• Africa: 4 teams
• Asia: 5 teams

You're right that handball like football is very much rooted in Europe. Football has the WC every fourth year and handball has the WC every second year.

I don't know any other sport than football and handball, that can't have the WC every year.

For anyone that wants to see the video. Final play is at the 2:35 mark.

Looks like his knee went down at the two yard line.

Is it really? Looking at the wiki page for it, it seems like it is overwhelmingly European. There is almost no presence in SA, NA, and a small presence in Asia and Africa.

Seems more accurate to say it's big in Europe and not very big in most of the rest of the world.

Is it really? I googled a bit and everything I find has it outside the top 10, and many sources have it outside the top 20 most popular sports in the world.

I’m just talking about build here

You're right. He'd be on the bench, lol. Or maybe a winger.

Yeah, you can also look at the French pivots, Fabregas (198 cm, 101 kg) and Tournat (200cm, 115 kg). And that’s pivots, no way Lebron would be playing that position

My brain was in shock! Germany won the Hockey World Cup?? I read that Belgium were defending champs and I fell off of my chair. Then I died of laughter when I saw the picture and realized how dumb I am.

It was not inches, it was clearly a full yard. As he was tackled and rolled on the ground you can see the point of contact his knee touches the ground he was a full yard away. People only show the picture of him fully stretched out after he was already downed.

Edit: Downvote all you want, the term inches is usually referred to extremely short. While it was a full yard away, the picture is always deceptive to make it look closer is all I was trying to point out
