In a gym by myself probably lower than 50. In an arena in front of a bunch of booing fans, over 50. I’m a clutch player

Time is a factor. Fatigue will crush you from half court. You had better hit some early to hit any.

FT...65-75...

Most people wouldn't be able to shoot 100 half court shots in a row

Yes. That's why I think 10 is not doable at all. I'd say an average person could get 20-25 shots from half court before fatigue sets in.

You are probably right. Like LCA said, there would need to be a time set.

Do you think 1 hr is a reasonable time for someone to shoot 100 from HC?

Alone in a gym with zero pressure or consequence of missing, I could probably make around 75-80% of the FTs. Would dip significantly in a real game-situation.

I could block 100/100 of your shots

This is one of the more random OweO threads I've seen in a long long long long long long long long time. For today.

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.





Absolutely fricking not

75 free throws easily. Give me a few days to shoot, and it would be closer to 95.

Right now Malcolm Brogdon MIL has the best FY percentage in the NBA. He is shooting .932.

In second is Stephen Curry at .916.

Jeremy Lamb is 10th with .879

It only list the "top" 125 players. 125th is Steven Adams who is at .525.

But I think it could be possible for someone who casually plays or even just shoots around for fun, to hit 80% alone. In a game, I doubt most people would get above 60%
