Make a Half Court Shot Get $20 Million but Miss...

Featured Replies

I'm pretty sure I could make 1 out of 10 but I have to think about it some more. Do I get to pick the years I miss? If it's the next two years of my life I wouldn't risk it.

 

You kidding? I hear the first two years of raising a kid are the worst? :lol2:

 

Joking, obviously. :D

I can't quote from my phone. But in response to PP92's "a half court shot is easier than a three pointer". Uhh isn't a half court shot a three pointer? :)

Have some fun with this one. Park two vans on the non shooting side of the court. One has the money, the other heads right to prison. No delay in risk or reward.

For those who say yes, do you realize how tight your butthole would get and you would miss and go to prison for 2yrs. No way I would do it. 2 years with my family is worth more than 20mill.

I've been playing basketball for 32 years now. I feel very confident that I can knock down a half court shot.

 

I don't care how long you've been playing, and you said you were confident you could make 4-10.

Yeah that's not happening. I'll give you 20-1 odds on it and let you name the bet.

I said I feel pretty solid about it and I do. I obviously wouldn't risk 2 years in jail against making 4-10 but I feel good about it. I find it amazing that you would just assume it's impossible without seeing me shoot. How would you know if I can make half court shots or not?

You'd have to name the child Wireman. And Wireman Hammertime is a terrible way to have to go through life.

I don't need to see you shoot. I've seen Devan Booker shoot, I'm 100% confident he's a better shooter than you, and I don't think he can shoot 40% from half court. I find it amazing that you think the rest of BGP is that stupid.

While I would love to have the money, there's zero percent chance I'm missing out on two year's of my son's life. Zero.

Ok, you win. I said I feel solid about it. I didn't guarantee anything. Since it bothers you so much, you win :thumb:

Not married and no kids...show me the money.

 

The juice is worth the squeeze on this one. I feel good about hitting it within my first six attempts.

I'm amazed something so pointless bothers you so much.

I would love to know what the percentage is for hitting half court shots, but I have to guess it is well below 10%. Imagine the pressure ratcheting up once you miss 5 or 6.
