NBA superstar and Million Dollar Mile producer LeBron James retweeted a Ringer article contemplating the 8 most ferocious super-athletes you wouldn’t want to be chased down by. Intrigued by the proliferation of obstacle course races on TV — and by the LeBron show’s innovative wrinkle of having the competitors chased down while they run — writer Miles Surrey named his most fearsome ferocious nightmare chasers. James obviously thought the list was pretty formidable.
Surrey’s list spans a range of body types with aggression as the common denominator. Here’s the 8 “Defenders” (that’s the Million Dollar Mile term) that Surrey fears most and that LeBron wanted his 42 million followers to know about. Million Dollar Mile airs Wednesdays at 9:00 PM ET/PT) on CBS.
