In honour of the NBA Finals and the championship-winning Los Angeles Lakers, here is a list of competitions and championships from all over the world.
The NBA Finals, which ended yesterday, are one of the toughest tournaments to participate in, but if you ask me, the World Beard Championships seem like a much more daunting task.
So, in a battle with the NBA Finals, here are a list of worthy competitors for the right to be called the most difficult competition.
