Two Monkeys Become Train Station Masters

Two baby monkeys named Nehime and Rakan were appointed station masters at a train station in Hyoto prefecture, Japan:

The monkeys, aged seven months and three months, were dressed in blue uniforms made from traditional local fabrics complete with mini hats before being formally appointed station masters and "special city residents" by the local mayor.[...]

It is not the first time in Japan that animals have found themselves at the helm of a railway station: Tama, the tortoiseshell cat, is famous in Japan as a longstanding station master of Kishi station in Wakayama prefecture.

Glad to see King James wasn't a bad sport about it. Pro or not, someone that has practised obscure trickshots to the point of perfection are hard to beat by even the most skilled of players.

"Oh, well if dunking were allowed... " guys. Its HORSE. There's no dunking. Besides, when you're that tall, dunking isn't difficult in the least. You're just putting a ball into a hoop once you jump to meet it.

Who says you can't dunk in horse? I've never heard such a rule.

And I'm guessing Kalb can't dunk. Which means if James dunked it every time, he would have won. Obviously that wouldn't be fair since Kalb has physical limitations preventing him from dunking.

But yeah, Kalb trained himself to be a pro-HORSE player, and he won pretty easily. Were they to play a game of 1-on-1, I think James would probably win.

Underhand from the free throw line? Over the backboard? Come on who hasn't done some of those shots? When I was in my 20's I could hit about seven out of ten from half court. Had I challanged a pro and did better at that one task would that have made me a better player? Of course not. Lebron is a phenomenal player but this wasn't his day at this particular event.
