Looks a lot more like a taquito tbh. Or maybe a spring roll.
Both traditionally English food items for sure...

Considering that (arguably) the best backs currently are the relatively small and nimble Gidsel and Pytlick, I'd say there is no clear advantage to being Lebrons height considering how Handball at the highest level is played at the moment.
Maybe he could use his speed as a winger. Probably the only position he could play.

You're right. He'd be on the bench, lol. Or maybe a winger.

Why the garbage bag?
Interval training, squat and benchpress (general strength training), is what most handball players do besides the actual training for the sport.
If you're not used to throwing a ball with one hand, you'll have a very hard time transitioning from soccer, and your forearms especially and hands will be underdeveloped strength wise.

This guy is pretty big. Probably the heaviest pivot to reach the quarter finals. However size isn't everything. Magnus Saugstrup is one of the best pivots, and probably one of the best defensive players, and he's "only" 197 cm 101 kg.

For his height, he's a bit skinny. He would struggle playing defence, and in the offense he would get shut down and have to rely on his height to score from a distance.

Yeah, and then you have someone like Lukas Jørgensen who is 247 lbs, same height. Also being very tall, is not necessarily an advantage in a contact sport, as your center of mass is higher.

He would get dominated physically as it is a contact sport. Also the shooting technique is very different. The ball is covered in resin and you roll it out of your hand, flicking the ball with your wrist. He probably would be a poor shot.
Handball players are tall - average is 6 foot 5 and 210 lbs. They would have no problem tackling him, and he would get fatigued fast from it.

It's like basketball with football contact rules and constant defensive/offensive subs.
And these guys are all 6 ft 5 and +210 lbs.

It could also lead to flickering in LEDs even if they are "dimmable" as the dimmer just chops up the AC waveform. At least some of them do. This leads to a lot of spikes which can lead to both flicker and an annoying buzzing sound.
Those wifi or bluetooth controllable LED bulbs are much nicer, although way too expensive imo.

You can get high load drywall anchors in metal which fold out like an umbrella on the backside of the drywall. If the drywall is thick enough they can hold a lot of weight.

They make you smell tho. Wool is amazing at not getting smelly from sweat etc.

My point is that it's probably almost impossible to do with a rental car from UK.
