While he's over in the Philippines to discuss a potential stint with the national team for FIBA Asia, Los Angeles Lakers guard Jordan Clarkson tried his hand at a different type of competition with a world-class athlete.

For Clarkson's sake, here's hoping that the two simply played chess and didn't cross into the headache-inducing world of "chessboxing."
