Kevin Durant mixed himself into an intramural flag football game Monday night at Oklahoma State, dominating in a capacity you would expect from a 6-foot-10 NBA superstar. Which raises the question: What other NBA players would dominate in sport for which they are not being paid. A quick list.
LeBron James, football: He’s faster than Randy Moss ever was, taller than Moss, too, and bigger than just about any wide receiver to ever play the game. Is there really a diminutive cornerback or safety alive who could stop him on an out route?
Dwight Howard, beach volleyball: He is 7 feet tall, a slam-dunk champion, and possibly the most coordinated big man in the league. He’d be in an Olympic favorite with Stan Van Gundy as his partner.
Ron Artest, poker: Granted, he might think All Reds beats a Straight Flush, but there is no way anybody could tell what he’s thinking.
