“I’m a podium guy”: In this other sport, LeBron would win an Olympic medal

LeBron James explained on the talk show “The Shop” in which other sport outside of basketball he would win an Olympic medal.

When asked about this question, James replied after a moment’s thought: “There is no sport in which I would have a chance without preparation. It might be long jump or high jump, but I would need time to prepare, about six to eight months,” he explained.

When asked if he thought he had a chance of winning a medal, the 39-year-old was his usual confident self: “I’m a podium guy.”

James won the gold medal with Team USA in Paris in the summer. If he had wanted to dust off a medal in the long jump, he would have had to jump at least 8.34 m, and in the high jump he would have had to crack the 2.34 m mark.
