Malcolm Gladwell really, really wants to race LeBron James in a mile and is willing to help raise money for a charity to make it happen.
"I'm dead serious." Gladwell tweeted. "One mile. Anywhere. Anytime. Me vs Lebron. All proceeds to charity."
So here's how this all started. On Tuesday, James posted this absurdly impressive workout video of him flying across the court.
Running twitter started debating whether LeBron James could beat Usain Bolt in the mile. My good friend, Ryan Sterner, blogged about how fast he hypothesized James would be able to run a mile.
