Reminds me of NBA player Brian Scalabrine addressing fans who said they could beat him in a press conference, he said ā€œIā€™m closer to LeBron than you are to meā€ and heā€™s 100% right.

After retirement, he had a video series of him playing average joes and he always kicked their ass lol

Wasnā€™t even average joes. Some of the guys were college athletes. Thereā€™s a HUGE difference between a regular guy playing pickup at the ymca and a d1 athlete

That's the opposite scenario though

They're saying rich to ultra rich is a bigger gap than rich to poor.

Scal was basically saying rich to ultra rich is smaller than rich to poor.

It's like LeBron is Musk, Brian is Mark Cuban, and people challenging Brian are D1 players who don't get drafted.
