I wouldn't take the bet.

5 3pointers in a row is really not that hard for a decent shooter.

Rondo is a terrible shooter as well.

Take the 5 3 pointers bet. I'de consider taking that bet against Ray Allen. 5 in a row is not easy, but how many chances does he get to hit 5 in a row?? If the bet is one shot to hit5 and if he misses the first shot the bet is over, why would you not???

no way he could do 20, easy money, if you wont do it let someone else get in on the action or sell off a piece of action.

How much time has passed since he could ONLY eat 7 sandwiches? You could deff train for something like this.

copy and pasted from the three point shootout wiki page

Most consecutive shots made Player Scores Season
Craig Hodges 19 shots 1991
Larry Bird 11 shots 1986
Hubert Davis 11 shots 1996
Jason Kapono 10 shots 2008
Dennis Scott 9 shots 1991
Mark Price 9 shots 1994
Steve Kerr 9 shots 1997
Quentin Richardson 9 shots 2005

Just again showing that doing it is possible.

btw, there's a difference between making 5 three pointers in a row while playing a game of professional basketball and making 5 three pointers in a row on an empty court with all the time in the world.

Just like in pool, you win a 20 dollar game to a "bad player" then he gives you a story about how he thinks he can do better and he wants to "make it interesting"... next thing you know you book a 200 dollar bet and he runs the table....

Could be a hustle... careful.

As a side note, Keith Van Horn once hit 49 in a row at one of his pre-draft workouts, and one of my friends hit 14 over 3 pickup games (he used to play college ball in San Diego and played briefly in Mexico fwiw.)

Did he issue the rematch right away? If so, he's probably hustling you, because at that point you'd feel so awful after having eaten all that that there's no way you could think you could do it, let alone be confident enough to bet 10k on it. If he waited a while to challenge you again, then I think it's more likely that he's just a degen.
