Stephen A. Smith breaking down a Mewtwo vs. LeBron 1-on-1 was magic

“You know, he’s shorter than LeBron but he weighs more.”

Nobody in sports media is having more fun than Stephen A. Smith. The man is out here screaming about Knicks basketball during the day, and after dark he’s analyzing Pokemon. SAS was asked whether Mewtwo could beat LeBron in a game of 1-on-1 — and you’ve just got to see it.

“Moo-too. Is that his name? Moo-too could beat LeBron in a game to 21? 6’7, 268 pounds. One-on-one, right here. You know, he’s shorter than LeBron but he weighs more. You know? Well, it says here ... Abilities: Pressure, unnerve, hidden ability. Alright, so he’s got composure. Psychic? Yeah ... he can anticipate moves and stuff like that. Yeah, maybe he could pull it off. From the looks of him he might scare LeBron. LeBron might want to shoot nothing but jump shots. Might not wanna come near him. That’s gonna be a problem, and that long tail ... you never know, might strip him. Yeah, I could see that. I’m not saying it’s definitely gonna happen, but it’s possible.”

No offense to Stephen A. here, because he’s not entirely familiar with the source material, but LeBron would have a 0.0% chance of beating Mewtwo. There is literally nothing that Mewtwo is focused on other than battle. It doesn’t have any business ventures, it doesn’t care for wine, it doesn’t worry about whether its son will make it into the NBA — Mewtwo only exists to win.

I don’t care that it doesn’t have basketball experience. What is putting a ball through the hoop when you can literally drop it in with telekinesis on the offensive end, while on defense you can just psystrike LeBron into next week.

I’ll go so far to say that LeBron couldn’t score a bucket on Mewtwo. That’s not a slight on King James, it’s just the reality of an unfair fight.
