Hunter Pence has issued an official challenge to LeBron James -- in Mario Kart

Hunter Pence is not a man who is subtle about his gaming. He just opened a new coffee and games shop named Coral Sword, and back in January, he took down fellow Bay Area icon Steph Curry in a game of Mario Kart. Now, he's setting his sights on another NBA star with a challenge to the King himself -- LeBron James:

Pence is ready for the showdown, too, even yelling "Why are you dodging, LeBron? We had Steph Curry here, he showed up, got sixth place, and he took it like a champ!"
Those are some strong words. As Steph can attest, taking Pence down in Mario Kart is a tough task, but LeBron is a fierce competitor himself. Do those skills extend to Mario Kart?
We'll just have to wait and see.
