Just to be clear, I've said I would rule it OK if you guys are wagering based on two things I quoted, and not OK if you guys are wagering based on one thing I quoted. I am not clear which of those is the standard you guys are agreeing to.

The HORSE standard was re: my initial comment to Grear, which is what I was clarifying with oT.

Later I made an additional clarification re: Grear's shot to you, that it clearly meets the non body type biased rule.

In my experience, under the leg layup would meet that standard. Do you agree?

Absolutely, as would "off-hand", ie, shooter's non-dominant hand.

FWIW I don't think that's the secret shot, but what I do think it is also is "not something absurd", but also potentially violates your last stated condition.

yep that was it.

I clicked on 'see original' or whatever it is to try to go back and see what g10 said he'd shoot, appears he may have inferred 50% from 3 is possible, in which case a) I wouldn't disagree, as I was hitting 40% from one spot, and b) he's hu$tling.

Custer, it's not an under the leg or contorted body shot. And I'm not trying to angle you by making you shoot left handed because I'm left handed or something. If that's what the secret shot is, we will both shoot with our off hands, and it'll be evident what our off hand is after the first 2 rounds.

Are you done whining like a ****ing child yet?

also, and this is just spitballing here, the tim duncan 14 foot bank shot from the wing is my longshot guess.

def isn't something people practice, def would be a pretty big advantage over the first 30-40 shots like el d said then even out, def is a legit basketball shot.

edit to add: also is def a horse shot. liking my longshot more and more

Custer,

I think I can settle this with a simple question.

From a specific spot in the corner, must bank it in.

Would that be a valid shot?

Jesus christ, dude, you are exhibiting babsGrear level reading comprehension here.

1) UNDER THE LEG SHOT IS "NOT ABSURD" AND IMO GENERALLY ACCEPTED AS A LEGIT HORSE SHOT

2) GREAR'S SHOT DOES NOT FAVOR A SPECIFIC BODY TYPE

These are TWO DISTINCT STATEMENTS.

Is that clear?

You originally said under the leg would satisfy the first two rules of the 3 you quoted. Which it doesnt.

random saturday and I'll drive there, they're both gonna be there?

prob takes like 2 hours and 15 mins or so depending on how far south, I'm totally in as long as the rebounding bitch is allowed to ****talk all parties involved and be intoxicated in one form or another.

***all parties involved please note***

intoxication level will be below the legal limit to drive if alcohol based, and if other, will not affect my ability to snap back either chest or bounce passes, depending on the party's preference.

OK, I mean, a half court shot is biased towards a player with a stronger body type. You can play that game with any shot. While I agree with you that under the leg is harder for certain body types, I don't think that would be enough to make me rule against it given what was quoted.

However, I have no interest in arguing that point, because as I clearly stated that won't be an issue with Grear's shot.

Anyway, sounds like we're all set, this should be good!

El d,

I haven't played much recently, but am very familiar with horse and shooting contests. I feel I can be a good judge, if needed. However, I think, like you, I'm not 100% sure what the parties agreed to. To me, given the sequence of posts, only the last offer, which was accepted, should matter, and it shouldn't inherit things from other points in the negotiations, which weren't accepted. So, only the third of three should be considered. I feel if that were clarified, I'd be qualified to judge any given shot's fit to the rules.

He's speaking to you like you're slow...

CC already cleared the bank shot so as long as it's a regular shot there shouldn't be a problem.

you knooow, the YO is probably 2.5 hours from cbus and 3.25 hours from the D...

a wiper could have an entire gym/school at his disposal for as long as he needed.

in addition, said school would also have wifi and multiple laptops/cameras to stream live to the masses...

nobody wants to come to the YO, but I'm just sayin'...
