Role players come up big for Cavaliers in Game 2
May 7, 2015Browns sign second round pass rusher Nate Orchard
May 7, 2015While Game 2 proved that an “ultra aggressive” and assertive LeBron James is one of the most dominant athletes in all of professional sports, Sports Business Insider listed James second in that very category.
Coming in first? UFC Bantamweight fighter Ronda Rousey.
On Wednesday night, King James delivered one of his standard games, finishing with a game-high 33 points while adding eight rebounds and five assists. He was a plus-31 and took 29 shots, the most since the 2009 playoffs when he attempted 30 shots against the Orlano Magic. Nevertheless, the gap between James and his peers is slightly smaller than that of Rousey and hers as “Rowdy” has a career record of 11-0 with nine wins coming via submission.
The California native has a fourth-degree black belt and, as recent as May 1, was listed last the No. 5 pound-for-pound fighter in the world with Nos. 1 through 4 all being male. The No. 2 female fighter in the world, Cat Zingano, was beat by Rousey in 14 seconds earlier this year.
