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

Featured Replies

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.

 

Be careful, you'll get destroyed for making such a statement.

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

 

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

 

Doesn't bother me a bit, I just call :poop:, when people start posting :poop:

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.

 

Tons of variables but here is something.

It was also the fifth $20,000 halfcourt shot since the beginning of March 2013 (check out the other three here, here, and here), adding to a remarkable run of form. As noted by Ben Golliver of The Point Forward, Thunder fans are 5-of-22 (or 22.7 percent) on halfcourt shots since March 5.

With any sort of practice whatsoever, I know I could hit 1 of 10.

I think this makes a lot of difference.

And those are random fans.

Without the possibility of 2 years incarceration facing them.

I also think Devin Booker would make more than 4 on average.

I get that, and I understand how some people think that would make a difference in the shooting, but if you have agreed to attempt this, you've already accepted the fact that you might (even likely) go to jail...

Without anyone guarding him, I think he could possibly make 4. Possibly.

 

Wireman isn't making 4. :lol2:

But there would still be pressure.

Next time I go to a gym, I'm trying it...

Minimum security prisons for the most part aren't horrible. I have been in a couple of them. Umm...let me re-phrase that. I have VISITED a couple of them for work, conducting safety audits. The newer ones are almost like someone said above, a small college campus with a fence around it. It almost shocked me the freedom to walk around and the atmosphere, it wasn't what I was expecting. Not that I would want to be in one for a couple of years, but if you had to...well there are worse things.

 

The better bet would be 1 out of 10 or 2 years in a max security prison. Now THAT would be do or die there. And talk about puckering up if you missed the first 5 or 6.

No chance. I'd be lucky to hit the backboard.

Sorry Wireman but I agree. :lol2: And add in what is on the line. No chance. I think you could make 1 out of 10 the majority of the time.
