For some reason I think I'm going to choke big time the first 10-20 shots. I could see myself starting like 9 for 20 from FT before finding it.

How many you think you can hit? Slightly ambidextrous?

Yeah I can write left handed and shoot really well left handed (compared to most) especially from close range. I'd shoot left handed 3's really poorly, but left handed FTs really well. I think I was going to hit 70/100 left handed FTs

Didn't realize it was possible to be cut from a school team in the 5th grade.

I got cut 4th grade and made it 5th/6th grade looking at pictures.

It was brutal though, they announced the team over the PA system during school hours. When I didn't hear my name called I just remember putting my head on my desk face down. My teacher pulled a real **** move and goes "What's wrong Adam? Did you try out for the team and not make it or something?" So that the whole class could hear.

After she said that, it was probably the hardest time I've ever had holding back tears. ****ing **** bitch.

I've PM'd both Alobar and Diablo to see who will hold the money. I don't envision a world where both decline, but if they do, I'll ask Admo.

And I'm almost certain Custer, like I, was assuming shooting from a specific location / obstacle / challenge... Not opposite handed.

I was thinking "I don't care how much you practice behind the backboard I can still offset the difference on 3/FT"

When someone is streaming something on an iphone, how do you know if the signal gets cut out?

What streaming method should I use?

Your mistery shot was dirty for anyone normal, my left arm is like a dead useless appendix compared to my right one, definitly super generous of you to give that up.

I did 5 sets of 100 shooting left handed total for my practice time. Results went: 62/100, 70/100, 78/100, 66/100, 80/100.

Might have actually been shooting FTs better left handed. Didn't spend much time practicing right handed.

Given that Custer is now not shooting, I presume that our respective wagers are now no-bets. If I'm missing something, please advise.

I for one am shocked that this isn't going off as planned.

I also reserve the future right to shockedness when the live streaming doesn't work right.

My 3 other side bets all involved only over/unders on my end. I assume those are still on?

Im willing to add 2 shots to each over/under as compensation for me not being intimidated by Custer sitting down 50 feet away from me.

So 99.5 for red
103.5 for banned
76.5 FT for EC

Lmk if this works. Imk if this is cool.

The Bay Area Beast. You need to read the "My job is driving me nuts" thread to understand the significance.

He started the thread under a different SN and uses many SNs throughout. It's an unwieldy read, but culturally important in the life of 2+2.

Seems like the way to go.
