Blowout's 2016 THREE-POINT CONTEST! - Page 2

codered · 12-18-2016, 11:16 PM

Such a cool contest! I hit 13 and 16 in a minute in a 3 point contest at a tourney in high school (I choked in the final and only hit 2 in a minute lol) but they was 18 years ago lol. Curious what I could hit today. Without someone rebounding I'd say maybe 2 as I'd be winded from chasing my own boards lol. I'll seriously have to look into so gym time!!

hey don't disrespect the old man midrange game. I recently finished my PhD but would play pickup ball in the rec gym with 19 and 20 year olds 2-3x a week (I'm 32). Everybody either fires from 23 feet or has to get to the rim. Forget that. I hit so many 15' jumpers it was ridiculous. Why would I go into the paint where two 6'4" 19 year olds can block the ever-loving crap out of me? lol

Rareairx23 · 12-19-2016, 11:24 AM

Ill hopefully get mine done tomorrow

markinca · 12-19-2016, 11:38 AM

I guess one good thing about being a high school teacher is I can get access to our gym! I'll try to make it in there hopefully today or tomorrow.

jcardstore · 12-19-2016, 11:52 AM

I'm hoping to get some gym time on Thursday

If it matters, I'm 6'0" and weight about 155. I play the post majority of the time and don't do the jumpers unless mid range. Favorite move - drop step and up and unders.
Here it goes anyways...

6'0 155lbs and you play post? Is it a 6feet and under league?

Nope.
I'm also one of the best players in the league. I can guard the SG-C spot, but I don't have the lateral quickness.
The other centers are 6 3, 6,2 and 5,11 respectively. Size wise is 160, 250 and 260. Getting around the big dudes is rough, but stop the entry pass = turnover.

the27guy · 12-19-2016, 04:31 PM

Man, I just realized that 12/24 is the deadline... that's gonna be tough. I think I'm playing on Wednesday.... I'm gonna have to have one of the guys hold my phone while I shoot in between games.... that's going to be awkward. haha

the27guy · 12-19-2016, 04:32 PM

PS - I still don't think people realize how cool this contest is. There should be 100 entries. Hopefully people won't be lazy or not have enough time with the holidays.

I can't watch the video... how many did you hit?

daeve · 12-19-2016, 04:39 PM

yeah I can either get my bro or my gf to rebound for me, can't get both and I have to work around the youth league practices which are full in-swing at my gym right now, wish there was more time but I'll get it done

AlabamaSlamma · 12-19-2016, 04:47 PM

My 6'10" a** hasn't touched a ball in years, but I am very much looking forward to these videos.

damn I'm in the wrong league then, I'm going up against 6'7, 6'8, and 6'9 former college players

First entry from tennelson55! He takes the early lead with 5. Good luck all, look forward to everyones submissions!

lambyzzle79 · 12-19-2016, 05:32 PM

you should extend the date ..... very cool contest by the way!

Deadshot · 12-19-2016, 06:12 PM

Great contest! Still deciding if I want to bring me and my outdoor goal into this lol

markinca · 12-19-2016, 06:20 PM

Love the contest, but I'm not sure I like the 'one entry per person' rule. I don't think it should be unlimited, but it should be a handful or something. I just did mine, but I don't want to submit it, since if it gets beaten, I can't answer.

I think it would be more fun if we could keep trying to one-up the people that beat us.

Maybe that would be a good idea for the second one.

I count 1, looks like foot is on the line almost every shot at the top of the key.

Really cool contest, I may brave the cold and test my skills!

Zacy87 · 12-19-2016, 07:48 PM

I play pick up randomly in a smaller sized court. The half court line is about 1.5 feet outside of a regulation hs/college line. Would that work? The usual gym i play at is closed for the holidays and my league just ended.

shaner1 · 12-19-2016, 08:24 PM

Awesome idea! My piece of advice is to avoid drinking 6 beers before you shoot the 3's! I entered the 3-point shootout at the Draftkings World Fantasy Basketball championship in San Diego last March. We had been drinking most of the evening and by the time it was my turn, I was buzzed up pretty good! With a big crowd watching, I think I made 2! It was ugly.

Best of luck boys! (And girls!)

Good

Idk I kinda like that the game forces you to go all out and then submit, if you're worried about someone one-upping you just don't submit until saturday

I was going to message the OP about it.
I was the first one and was going to wait, but figured I'd encourage people to do it first. Now I know I won't finish 1st
