Here's proof an NBA player once dominated Michael Phelps in swimming

With 23 Olympic gold medals (and 28 overall in the Games), few athletes can hold a candle to Michael Phelps these days. When he was 10 years old, however, one NBA player dominated Phelps in the pool.

Atlanta Hawks forward Kris Humphries was apparently something of a swimming wunderkind in 1995. While Phelps was setting youth records in the 100-meter butterfly, Humphries was busy dominating in every other event.

And there's visual evidence that Humphries was so good that he even crushed Phelps by four-tenths of a second:

It's a little blurry, but those are the results from a youth 50-meter butterfly in which Humphries finished first, with Phelps coming in second. Although that close call isn't exactly dominance, it's just the start of what Humphries did against future Olympians.

In that same series of events, Humphries apparently finished ahead of Phelps in one 100-meter freestyle heat by an astonishing four seconds — and Phelps isn't the only Olympian who had to stare down the might of Humphries in the pool. Ryan Lochte came in 16th in a 50-meter freestyle event that Humphries won, finishing three seconds behind the NBA big man.

From preternatural swimming ability to marrying a reality television star and everything in between, Humphries has certainly lived one heck of a life so far.
