Very nice shooting form sir !!!

However, there is still another 14 hours and somebody could possibly hit more than your 13.

I say somebody should hit a lucky 16 !!!

I hoped to give it another go this morning, but santa still has too much wrapping to do.

I'm old. I'm fat. I have no form. But I blame the loss on my rebounder.

That is all.

Nice stroke. You need to fire your rebounder though.

I got to 11 or 12 I think. Luckily I didn't get 14 because my phone ran out of storage space + stopped recording about halfway through my attempts haha. One attempt I hit 8 of my first 9 but then bricked two that went sideways and only ended up hitting 2 of the next 6 shots. Ah well, I'll be ready if there's a next year, congrats to the winner, thats a nice stroke.

Thanks for the kind words everyone! Definitely a nice Christmas surprise to win it! Love the comparisons that people made too- particularly fond of the Sam Perkins and Chris Mullin ones haha.

I will likely be posting a thread asking the BO community what to get with the gift card since I'm usually a 90s wax guy and haven't bought anything newer & non-retail in a year. Leaning towards a couple boxes of something 12-13 related for the rookie class, but look forward to everybody's input.

Thanks again to Jin for the awesome contest and for everybody's submissions and kind words!

The rebounders who had to time were put in a tough spot. Maybe next time you can set an alarm on your phone and set it down?

Nobody commented on that post on page 1. Probably thought I was joking :P

This is the 4th three-point contest I've ever entered. I'm 3/4. Only one I lost was sophomore year at Ohio State in a dorm building competition because almost all of the rebounders left except one lol

The Tennessee one was crazy because they had a preliminary contest with the 5 racks in 60 seconds like the NBA contest. Top 2 got to shoot at halftime of a men's basketball game for the title. Three people scored 13 in a minute in the first round (including me) and we had to have a shoot-off...right after I'd played a full intramural game lol. Thankfully I had some energy left and went first and put up a 19.

The finals were AWFUL, however, because the morons putting it on didn't have enough men's size balls so ALL FIVE RACKS were mixed sizes of men's and women's balls. I managed 10 and the other guy got 9. Felt bad that we looked so lousy in front of 17k people, but it really wasn't our fault!

Btw I have to give props to Jin for the generosity of course, but more importantly the nature of this all.

Would be hilarious to have a halfcourt shot contest with looser rules, where you could take as many attempts as you want, but only allow consecutive shots to count.

Somebody might be able to beat a world record in the process

Wow!! How did I miss this! I don't think I could've beaten Buckunteer's 13, but it would've been fun to try! Congrats and big props to Jin for putting this together!

I am well aware that nobody cares, but I finally made it back to the gym. I smacked my rebounder around for a sec and then, on my first try missed my first shot and then hit ten straight and finished with 13.
