Half court shot vs. 2 years in jail? (1 Viewer)

I'd miss on purpose.

LOL

You need to shoot it Rick Barry free throw style if you want to win this bet. It is far easier that way from half court.

When I was relatively small I went hook shot on this as my most controlled manner of getting the ball there consistently. As I grew I went with a two handed chest pass, and ultimately with more of a regular motion set shot. I don't know what I would do now.

Simple, you'd back up a bit, take a few steps, leap and dunk. C'mon you're FFA!!!

I couldn't dunk if Wiley coyote strapped Acme springs to my feet and an Acme rocket to my back. My dunking days are over three decades in the rear view mirror.

A layup for $10 million or two years in jail if you miss - do you try it (be honest)?

Honestly, I wouldn't. I can make layups just fine, but with that much riding on it, I'd probably choke.

Now if my life sucked, I'd do it. And I'd like my chances of hitting the layup better, because I'd feel like I had nothing to lose.

Just got back from the gym with my PE teachers. We marked off the correct distance of an NBA half court and took 10 shots each. We are all going to prison.

Then after that we just shot some more experimenting with different shots.

I hit about shot 26 and one of the others hit at about shot 53. (he was getting tired about that point).

I shot over head two-handed caveman style and he shot a pretty run up one hand shot. (like a running jump shot).

No way in hell I'd do the 10 shot challenge, but I think I could drop 1 out of 100 vs. 10 years in the pokey.

well yeah you need to be strong enough to shoot it two handed as much as a normal shot as possible.

at the guys thinking they could hit this in 10 tries, w the punishment of 2yrs of bum stretching on the table.

by sheer luck, yes.

by skill... hell no.

OP says Martha Stewart type place. Would be like a long vacation for me. Hell, I could probably still post in the FFA. Have someone start a gofundme account.

Much better odds of hitting 1 of 10 than winning the lottery.

the OP pre edit didnt have the martha stewart addition...

meh

Huge difference. No way am I going to regular prison.
