That wasn't a joke, he wrestled bears. he had scars on his back to prove it.

-In his lifetime Baba had indeed wrestled actual bears. But in chapter 13 Amir views Baba's accomplishments as "bears" in which he had defeated and the cancer, leaving Afghanistan, etc as Baba's loses. But as stated by Amir Baba lost on his on terms and in some cases as he did with the cancer, he lost with a smile.

In the book "The Kite Runner" by Khaled Hosseini, Baba wrestled with both literal bears in an empty zoo and metaphorical "bears" in his personal life - representing his struggles, fears, and inner demons. The Wrestling scene with the bears serves as a powerful metaphor for Baba's internal battles and emotional conflicts.
