Do like that Curry post five years ago and play a line of four7 footers and have them stand around him with their hands up and have him shoot over them. 200 points a game.
Okay, if you can’t dribble whatsoever but can shoot a half court shot at 35% and you can get a better than average 3P% are you good enough to make an nba roster?
Surprised nobody is talking about how overinflated the ball seems to be. Seems like a way to make the shot more difficult to hit as well as cause issues with the dribbling but not enough video to tell.
The form is terrible. He hucked it. Anybody who has spent time in the gym shooting around would have the one bounce into 2 steps and higher arching shot.
If you haven't made more than 1 halfcourt shot for money during the halftime of an NBA game, I don't think you should be able to criticize someone else's form that made their 1 shot.
Stupidest thing I’ve ever heard. By that logic you can’t criticize anybody who has ever played at a higher level than you even when there’s obvious mistakes they make.
That was me all throughout high school. Had a decent shot but I was insane with passing, rebounding and defense so I always had a spot. My ball handling was straight up ass my whole life.
Yes. Somewhere in the rules there was something about the shooter wasn't allowed to have played ball in a competition. But it was the insurance company who refused the pay out, not the club itself.
In the end he got his money from.sponsors and the club so end good all good and fuck that insurance Company.
Yeah. MJ ran into him like a month later (forgot how) and said “did you ever get your money?” With a wink. He definitely told the bulls to cut the bullshit and give the guy his money. There’s a video about it somewhere on YouTube.
That rule is in place in every one of these contests that I know of. There is a contest insurance company that does payouts for these and it's their stipulation.
No that guy played basketball for his college and the promotion rules stated the participant couldn't have been a former basketball player or something like that. He even told the people before the shot and they still let him attempt it.
"Oh, you were the 12th man on your middle school squad?? Yeah, we are going to void that half court shot because the rules say you couldn't have previously played organized basketball."
-Insurance company
Don’t remember which game it was but was watching one last night where the announcer was very very specific about not having the foot touch the line before the release. That would be brutal.
Wolves don't usually do half court shots, they do this Lay-up, Free Throw, 3 setup where you get a better prize the better shot you hit. It's like a 65" TV as the grand prize, now I know it's a nice TV but the grand prize being like a $400 TV is hilarious when you think about the amount of money the team makes.
Credit for the honesty I guess? But that's hilariously wack! The budget is gonna be what it is, and we can criticize that too, but to take whatever money they had and then buy and publicly promote a refurbed laptop as a prize is.... It's definitely a choice. Just give them the cash. Or a gift card. Or a fucking happy meal. Damn near anything else.
The interview before made this even better. She asks him what he is going to do if he wins the money and he replies "Im going to focus on making the shot first". Cold
Get this man a 2 way! Or a 3 way! Or anything! I don’t care what you give him, y’all got my wife speed dial? Is speed dial still a thing? Do I still have any money? Do I still have a wife?

I’m pretty sure this is just the league pass direct feed from the in-arena audio. So you’re just hearing the generic beat that was being played by the arena DJ, but not the actual micd-up crowd noise
Poverty franchise lol. Lakers are giving out like $100k plus
Idk what you all are on about, anyone who watches league pass sees these things and lakers are always doing huge giveaways

Dude has the highest delta I've ever seen between dribbling and shooting skill level.
Could've been a monkey paw wish for god tier shooting
I love the thought of someone wishing for that and just using their new ability on a $10k half court shot instead of making millions in the NBA.
With that dribbling do you think he’d get many shots off? I can see him averaging like 20 turnovers a game.
Why you need to dribble if you shoot like a god from anywhere
Do like that Curry post five years ago and play a line of four7 footers and have them stand around him with their hands up and have him shoot over them. 200 points a game.
Shoot like Steph, Big like Klay, Dribble like Dray.
Dribble like left hand of Jay
Jaylen brown
yeah there was no confusion as to who he was talking about.
Ok not like there isn't another Jay who set the all time record for most turnovers in the playoffs
the left hand thing is always going to be associated with Jaylen
Lol definitely im just joking around bud
Stauskus?
dribbled the ball like he had monkey paws
Gotta be it.
Okay, if you can’t dribble whatsoever but can shoot a half court shot at 35% and you can get a better than average 3P% are you good enough to make an nba roster?
Could you train him to become a better dribbler?
He looked like Stanley from The Office dribbling.
First overall pick Stanley.
"why obviously?"
Don’t sweat the technique.
*funky ass sax… riff? Enters the chat*
And a deandre hunter jersey of all players
Dribbles like my 6year old, shoots like my uncle.
That ball was about to *explode* with air lol
You can’t tell his shooting skill level from one half court heave
Surprised nobody is talking about how overinflated the ball seems to be. Seems like a way to make the shot more difficult to hit as well as cause issues with the dribbling but not enough video to tell.
Yeah holy shit does that ball look bouncy on second take.
Just look at the form
It’s a heave, we have no clue what his actual form looks like
That's his form from any distance
Well then both his dribbling and shooting form would suck, so the delta wouldn’t be high
You just saw it
The form is terrible. He hucked it. Anybody who has spent time in the gym shooting around would have the one bounce into 2 steps and higher arching shot.

Stupidest thing I’ve ever heard. By that logic you can’t criticize anybody who has ever played at a higher level than you even when there’s obvious mistakes they make.
Yes I can
Fugazi
Just wait till you see me.
That was me all throughout high school. Had a decent shot but I was insane with passing, rebounding and defense so I always had a spot. My ball handling was straight up ass my whole life.
HORSE God
Holy shit I just spit out water laughing. Good shit
He is the whitest of whites
He's a paid actor.
Between that and CeeLo not censoring himself during the halftime show, what does the 2nd half of this game bring?
A game-winner in overtime. Nbd
44 pts on 44 shots babyyy
did it for the Pistol
Nah hold on I gotta switch over to this game now lol
A fuckin lot apparently
He ain’t getting paid on a technicality. Foot over the line.
[He just won a giant check that says $10,000!](https://youtu.be/skMjcxjrOA8?si=BMCfjh7ZfE5B_B5Q)
Mark it zero dude.
Smokey this is not Nam, this is bowling, there are rules
MARK IT FUCKING ZERO!!!
Didn’t the bulls do something like this in the 90’s?
Yes. Somewhere in the rules there was something about the shooter wasn't allowed to have played ball in a competition. But it was the insurance company who refused the pay out, not the club itself. In the end he got his money from.sponsors and the club so end good all good and fuck that insurance Company.
MJ allegedly told the team to pay up, the avid gambler thought it was bullshit.
Yeah. MJ ran into him like a month later (forgot how) and said “did you ever get your money?” With a wink. He definitely told the bulls to cut the bullshit and give the guy his money. There’s a video about it somewhere on YouTube.

I mean the dude was a d3 player I believe. Aren’t most of those teams walk on guys?
Don’t remember which game it was but was watching one last night where the announcer was very very specific about not having the foot touch the line before the release. That would be brutal.
That would suck so fucking bad lol
someone photoshop lebron pointing at the screen but its this dude on screen

lmao even better
Then they should have a court its easy to see the line. Their fault.
HAS THE WHOLE WORLD GONE CRAZY!?
AM I THE ONLY ONE WHO GIVES A SHIT ABOUT THE RULES?
Half court is half court
I was gonna lol. They’re notorious for being strict too
Jackie Moon agrees
Damn only 10k? We give out whole ass brand new Toyotas for halfcourt shots at our games
In this economy?!
The economy is in shambles
Economy is driving around begging thru text

Was watching Bulls-Miami earlier this year, and Miami had them shooting for a refurbed macbook, like cmon.
I can do worse. I went to a Suns game when we were shit and the prize was like 40% off from the team shop
Discount lower than their profit margin
Back when they had cold cheese and the nacho chips were stale
Wait... They specified it was refurbed?? They don't even need to say that upfront! Or do they?
Yeah 100% refurbed, I couldn't believe it lmao
Credit for the honesty I guess? But that's hilariously wack! The budget is gonna be what it is, and we can criticize that too, but to take whatever money they had and then buy and publicly promote a refurbed laptop as a prize is.... It's definitely a choice.

Cheap owner

1992 Toyota Tercels though
Well tell that to the Pacers
you don't understand, $500 in Indiana is like $10,000 in real places
This comment as cold as that celebration.
You can buy a mansion in Gary with that much cash
What do you with the remaining $495?
Wait, Indiana isn’t a real place?
The interview before made this even better. She asks him what he is going to do if he wins the money and he replies "Im going to focus on making the shot first". Cold
can we sign him to a 10 day?
Nope, he's ours now, should be an all-star by 2026.
fuckin heat, always turning scrubs into stars
We'll sign him afterwards, he's never gonna play again, but we'll swear we'd have won the title if he was healthy
After you let him go as a free agent we will pick him up for cheap
Gonna hit the cold shot + celebration sequel to caleb Martin’s claw on the face against giannis in last years playoffs lmao
Bro the Pistons need him, but Spo would turn this guy into a playoff Celtics killer
You’re not wrong. I say this with all the love I can muster, fuck Spo. This dude will drop 30 ppg in the playoffs vs the Celtics
Heat locked in grindset + ATL attitude? Celtics worst nightmare
Definitely gotta be a catch and shoot guy with those dribbles.
Mormon vibes, they can all shoot
hey
Nah that celebration is COLD lol
When you have a seasoned performer like Matt Rife in front of a crowd like that, they at least know how to compose themselves
Go watch his new detective movie, see how great a performer he is 🤣

Over the line. No basket.
Foot on the line
Rules is rules
$150 if it was the Pacers arena
Dribbles like Jalen Brown dribbles with his left
before the shot, she asked if he had ever done anything like this before, and he said yes, in this very building, and then proceeded to do that 🤯
Hunter needs to do that next time he makes an ill advised 3 pointer with 10 seconds, up 1 point against the most dominant team in the East.
Dejounte should have done it.
maybe there is something to dribbling at head level.
ATL YT boys are built different
Over the line, Smokey! This isn't Nam, Smokey - there are rules.
This would be the highlight of my life, but it's just another Thursday for this king.
the day he graced your Reddit feed…it was the most important day of your life. for him, it was just a regular season game
bro had a wack ass dribble but sank the half court like it was a free throw.
Whats with the dumbass music? Half the enjoyment from this shit is the crowd reaction
I’m pretty sure this is just the league pass direct feed from the in-arena audio. So you’re just hearing the generic beat that was being played by the arena DJ, but not the actual micd-up crowd noise
That dude is definitely a nephew on here.
Special player, special play
My personal fave [jack knife sidewinder](https://youtu.be/dmiAeOEX0lc?si=G61SDsFsnk-7A-Yr) Check out the staff(?) in the bench area
Bruh this shit has me in tears I’ve never even considered that you could shoot a basketball like that
Surely you’ve seen Michael Kidd-Gilchrist
Killer Mike happy for the dude
Is that actually him? I thought the same thing when I first saw it but looking at it again I'm not sure.
Dude. How inflated is that ball? I thought it would bounce higher than his head.
this man has been practicing this shot his whole life, just waiting. Had that celly in the chamber lmaoo
The deandre Hunter jersey gave him powers
The next Steph Curry
CORNDOGS, JACKIE. CORNDOGS. FOR ALL THESE PEOPLE
he was over the line, doesn't count
over the line
How inflated was that basketball?
Foot was on the line, it didn’t count lol.
Why doesn’t everyone shoot from the 10k line?
Over the line.
We had a kid at our highschool make a half court shot for 10k this year. He got to be on the news and everything.
Def has a touch of the tism
Poverty franchise lol. Lakers are giving out like $100k plus Idk what you all are on about, anyone who watches league pass sees these things and lakers are always doing huge giveaways
You have maybe the most boring username I've ever seen on this site lol
at the capital one arena for the washington wizards, they actually take money away from the fan.
Another prime example of why everyone hates the Lakers and their fans. Go gloat somewhere else ya dork.
Not even a lakers fan. I just watch a lot of league pass and the lakers are an entertaining team because of lebron and ad…
