Lance Armstrong will run in the 112th Boston Marathon on April 21st in order to raise money for his charity.  The idea of Lance trying another sport, it got me thinking of other athletes that tried to do a different skill.  The way these athletes performed, skill had nothing to do with it.  Do you remember these events?

  • Michael Jordan attempting to make a career in professional baseball
  • Charles Barkley attempting to beat a much older referee in a foot race, which lead to Barkley falling on his back
  • Dennis Rodman challenging Karl Malone to a wrestling match
  • Ron Artest, Kobe Bryant, and Allen Iverson all putting out rap albums that flopped
  • Adam “Pacman” Jones trying to join professional wresting
  • Oscar De La Hoya trying to have a singing career
  • Bob Golic becoming an actor on Saved By the Bell
