Forklift jockey whams LeBron James

By Staff -- Modern Materials Handling, 10/1/2008

Warehouse worker David Kalb of La Habra, Calif., won the opportunity to face NBA star LeBron James at a game of H-O-R-S-E, by uploading a video of his trick shot—throwing a basketball against a wall to bounce back and land in the net of a hoop attached to the mast of a spinning forklift.

The judges of LeBron's Trick Shot Challenge, sponsored by Cub Cadet, included Kalb on their list of finalists and James selected Kalb as his opponent on an outdoor court at Venice Beach. Kalb beat the Cleveland Cavaliers forward in a best two-of-three match.
