Be honest with yourself.

Let's say you were all of a sudden given a chance to warm up for 30 mins then given 100 balls to shoot from the free throw line (15 ft). Would you make over or under 50 baskets?

What about from half court? 100 balls, could you make 10 baskets from half court?

Given 100 shots I could make it in the basket.

But if you were to answer what I asked, could you make 10 shots from half court with 100 attempts?

I got a bet with someone. We are trying to set it up. They say they could make 10 half court shots with 100 attempts. I don't think they could make more than 5 or 6.

I haven't shot a basketball in 20 years. Guarantee with 30 minutes to warm up I could hit 80/100 FT.

Easily 60-70 free throws out of 100.

This is how this conversation got started. Lonzo Ball from the Lakers... Before he got injured in January, he was shooting 41% FT on the year.

How does a PG in the NBA shoot 41% FTs?

Gotta be one of the lowest % for a guard in history of the game

ps - for perspective Shaq was 52.7% for his career

You can cut them in half and with some cording you could make 200 baskets.

After warming up I could really shoot 80-90%.

I'm white though so free throws come naturally.
