arenas went 73/100, other guy was just under that. And at one point in video arenas says someone went 81/100

also, Arenas is an annoying mother ****er

Are there seriously people so out of touch on this topic that they think making one three pointer a minute for 24 hours (1440 made) is difficult? LOL @ the guy who said 500

I would never submit myself to such a boring endurance test, but I would bet I could average 2 per minute for 2 hours with a make in each minute. I'm a broke student but I will give anyone 100$ of action on this bet if they want it.

you get 1 ball and gotta shag yourself, and I still might take you up on your proposed bet. Youd have to escrow the $100 tho, and figure out a way to verify the attempt

well if you are such a boss, should be pretty easy to round up some backers and cash in.

I didn't watch the video. But based on other posts, an NBA guard (and at one point a really good one) went 73/100. Supposedly OP's friend went 67/100.


I already called BS on the 67, but now I just smell farts.

I don't know what shag means but I could get a friend to film this and I would be willing to give my money to a trusted third-party.

I wipe with one hand. Doesn't mean I couldn't do it with two.

Fwiw, there is a poker player in the live circuit that wins prop bets betting he can hit >95/100 high school threes. Never witnessed it, but several ppl say he has cashed the bet.

shag means you gotta get your own rebounds

Oh no, looks like you guys also believe shooting one-handed doesn't make a difference
And yes I would get my own rebounds

dunno why you would think that. Your off hand doesnt do anything if you have a good shooting motion. You should make just as many with one hand as you would with two. You must not have a very good shot if believe otherwise. Watch the video again, hes not shooting jump shots.

Why don't NBA players shoot free-throws one-handed then?

If he went 73/100 with 1 hand then with 2 hands he should make 146 out of 100. This is like first grade math, Alobar.

because they have the option to use both hands?

The good shooters effectively do. Their off hand just brings the ball up to the start of their shooting motion and then from their it doesnt move and your shooting hand does everything. Which is pretty much how you should be shooting a set shot. If you are doing anything with your off hand, you have crappy form. Which is why you see crappy free throw shooters try it with one hand, so they have to focus on strictly the motion of the shot, and not **** it up with their off hand.

Also, you think there wasnt a bunch of money riding on the outcome of that 3 point contest? Arenas was going to shoot it the way that gives him the highest % of makes. Which for him was a set shot with strict form.
