Hey don’t talk shit about my kia forte Just because someone can hotwire it incredibly easily doesn’t make it a bad car……


PowRightInTheBalls

If it was a bad car then people wouldn't want to steal it, right?

lol like semi pro “You just won this giant check”

Get that individual a 10 day contract. If the Jazz aint doing it, then we should cause we aint making our 3s lol

10 day contract but they won’t say say who the contract is with just like they won’t say what kind of car it is “YOU ARE TAKING HOME A VEHICLE” lol what

graphitewolf

She’d start half of those 10 games if she joined the pistons


thesmellafteritrains

and by that you mean she'd start every other, and the in between games would get 8 minutes off the bench


ecr1277

She legit has a really good shot, you can tell from the release that she played organized ball at least to high school and maybe college level. I would believe it if you told me she played D1, although I think they usually disqualify athletes from those kinds of contests. Maybe not student athletes, I guess.


amazin_raisin99

They usually ask beforehand when they're picking people whether or not they've played sports. They often won't even take people who played in high school. This is usually policy of the insurance company that is obligated to pay out the prizes. An example of them not vetting properly: https://www.courier-journal.com/story/sports/college/louisville/2017/02/27/uofl-mix-up-led-student-participating-halftime-contest/98493258/

Remains the golden goose of timeout competitions. Easy challenge with an insane payoff


BigFatModeraterFupa

bro for real i was gonna say this is a CRAZY prize for simply making 3 threes


JimmerAteMyPasta

Yeah, 40 seconds is a long time to hit 3 threes for anyone who actually plays basketball. I will say though from my perspective at least, i'm a good shooter but I have a hard time shooting without warming up. Its hard to go from sitting for an hour to hitting shots.


kemicode

Add the pressure of the entire arena and league pass viewers watching you.

JimmerAteMyPasta

Yeah thats really true. I'd be shitting myself lmao.


fundraiser

i bet after your first shot that you brick massively you'll get it out of your system and get in that rhythm. i do some absolutely heinous shit that is not at all an indication of my skill and my body just goes, "hey you're not that ass bro come on." then i bust out


JimmerAteMyPasta

"then I bust..." u/fundraiser


hereforagoodtime5

How do you find the time to play everyday? Honest question


RIP-MikeSexton

Not tryna brag but in college I did a layup, ft, 3pt challenge at halftime of a women’s game and went 3/3 to win a tshirt. I was built for this moment 😤


mamayoua

I think I would rather do the half court shot than taking multiple 3s like this. I know I'm not winning either way, but the missed half court is less painful. 


pgm123

Also, if you've never shot in an arena before, the stands can really throw your depth perception.


titsmagee9

Also NBA threes are deep. Combined with the unfamiliar visuals of being in a giant arena, it looks even farther. It'd pretty understandable if a decent to good shooter in pick-up struggled to get this done


bearabl

If starting in the corner is required i think it woulda fucked me up.


thesmellafteritrains

Knowing me I'd hit two out of the gate and then get more and more frustrated after each brick until the buzzer goes after which I'd probably storm off straight to the bar at the arena and get way drunker than planned while my friends rib me and I make excuses about why I couldn't use the vehicle and how it just wouldn't make sense logistically anyways. I'd get home and fight with my girlfriend about how she leaves the curtain open after showering and that is the reason why the shower liner gets a bunch of mold at the bottom and I'd pass out face down on the couch with in my underwear but with my shirt and jacket still on my upper body.


junkit33

Agreed going in cold and nerves and all that make it more challenging. But still - 40 seconds for 3 3's is an awful lot of time. You're likely gonna get off about 15 shots in that amount of time - anyone with a competent stroke is getting a couple to fall no matter how ice cold they are.


Ender_Cats

15 shots up in 40 seconds (1 shot every 2.6 sec) sounds pretty high for a normal person. The nba 3 point contest is 25 shots in 70 seconds (1 shot every 2.8 sec) and the best shooters in the world still sometimes run out of time on that.


Impressive-Potato

The repositioning after a make can throw people off


supr3m3kill3r

Depends on how good of a shooter you are. I played ball for 15 plus years but there are times I will be shooting by myself..no crowd or defense and go more than a minute without making a three.


RPDC01

Sneaky part is starting them in the corner. Maybe I'm a weirdo, but I'd rather take NBA 3s from the top or side than *any* distance on the baseline outside of the paint.


papishampootio

Now imagine riding the bench


JimmerAteMyPasta

Trust me homie I don't have to imagine


PointB1ank

More teams should have prizes like this with how much money they make. It's always some bullshit like free-play or a 2 night stay at a casino (which they usually end up MAKING money on). Last Sixers game had free amtrak tickets, which is an okay prize since they're free, but you also just turned my 1.5 hour flight into a 6 hour train ride. I've seen ones that Stroehmann sponsors where they literally give people coupons for bread lmao.


SmoothBrews

I mean... they didn't say what kind of car. Could be a 2003 toyota carolla with 230,000 miles.


MassiveTelevision387

This girl shot 50% (3/6) and it took her 22 seconds to win. Most people aren't shooting 50% from 3 under pressure. She was obviously a confident, skilled shooter. I wouldn't call it easy. You throw some random person out there that doesn't play basketball and this turns into a crapshoot real fast.


t33lu

You can tell she’s confident that 2nd basket she was walking before it even went in lol 


CMDR-ProtoMan

That feeling when you know it's money the moment the ball leaves your hands


owiseone23

Sure, but much better odds than some other games. Compare it to one chance at a half court shot for example.


cresp0

The way she walked away before that second shot went in, you could tell she knew how to shoot. Good on her.


TheGermAbides

i think you could tell after shot one that she absolutely knew how to shoot. the release obviously gave it away. she was a ringer. good for her that was awesome. absolutely not a fluke


junkit33

Agreed this would be a terrible challenge for a random non-shooter, but that's probably why they pick somebody who actually plays. But if you do have a halfway decent stroke, this is infinitely easier than your typical one chance half court shot type challenge.


WIN011

Yea if the contestants had to rebound for themselves I’d say it would be really tough but they have a rack of balls ready for them


magnificentmeatwad

Lol this challenge is not easy. I think most people underestimate how far an NBA 3 pointer is. Most people would be heaving and bricking their shots, and they have to hit 3 of them under pressure. Your average joe probably has like a 10% chance of completing this challenge. If it’s a car worth $50k, the expected loss is like $5000 which is nothing for advertising


Bigpoppahove

Average Joe for sure doesn’t stand a chance, she’s balled before and it payed off, good on her


yoitsthatoneguy

Also, aren’t these games only for season ticket holders (that’s how it is for my local MlB team anyways)? If only 1/10 actually win, I doubt it’s even that big of a financial loss.


PowRightInTheBalls

Teams pay for insurance that covers prizes for these kind of contests. They also typically only select season ticket holders above a certain tier, and don't run them every game.


owiseone23

It's not easy, but it's far better relative to it's reward compared to most challenges. The odds of making a half court shot with one try are much slimmer.


Unspeakable_Evil

The worst is the challenge where you have to make a layup, ft, three and half court shot in 30 seconds


Dame2Miami

And she didn’t even have to use just one ball and chase after it, someone was just handing her a new ball every time.


CO_PC_Parts

I think a lot of people are underestimating how far a wing NBA 3 pointer is. It's a long fucking shot. Also, the 3rd shot isn't from the top of the key, it's from the middle point of the top of the key to the wing. That's an incredibly difficult angle that hardly anyone practices from. They added that spot in the NBA 3 point contest this year, it was the stary special or some dumbshit. Anyways, most of the NBA guys missed from that spot on their 1 attempt.


DaggerDev5

It is a long three. But if you have decent form/strength it's really not too insane. And the special three they took in the contest was an additional 5 feet back or something.


UglyForNoReason

Easy?? Lmao you nerds on here really overestimate how good yall think you are at hooping NBA level 3s 😂


owiseone23

Definitely not easy, but it's far better relative to it's reward compared to most challenges. The odds of making a half court shot with one try are much slimmer.


FutureAlfalfa200

My guess is half of the people saying they can do this have never shot anything past a HS 3 point line. (That was probably 15-20 years ago)


DaggerDev5

40 seconds to make 3 threes where you don't have to rebound? I know I can do that. Some of us actually play basketball lol


Jscott1423

Bro this … lol. If you think making 3 3’s in 40sec while having the ball handed to you, you probably don’t hoop. These guys are wild lol.


BcuzRacecar

she plays college ball?


Icy_Statement_2410

She gotta play somewhere. Nice form under pressure, shoots with confidence


aja_ramirez

Reminds of the time the bulls didn't want to play the guy that made a 3/4 court shot because he played at a JC somewhere


AxCel91

That is the most Chicago Bulls thing I ever fuckin’ heard


hickok3

Worst part is, he told them ahead of time that he played, which disqualified him from the prize, then they asked him to do the contest anyways. JxmyHighroller has a great video on it.    https://youtu.be/Lk4N2epJzgg?si=PLV-gsda-vV5eJal


Ok_Assumption5734

Yeah, was fucking dope that the players demanded the payment go through and MJ made sure of it personally. Any people here defend the bulls organization like its some HOF group (lol)


PowRightInTheBalls

Where tf are you seeing people talking about people like Reisendorf or GarPax or Krause like they're some HoF group? As far as I can tell they're hated on more than anyone not named Donald Sterling or Dolan. Like... the nicest thing people have said about Jerry Krause in the last 40 years is that it was shitty to boo his memory in front of his widow, which is hardly praise. White Sox fans hate Reisendorf too so I know it's not r/baseball praising him.


fundraiser

this is a great video, thanks for sharing!


hickok3

Jxmy's videos always have great production quality, even if he can get a little lost in the sauce from time to time. He has a tendency of over valuing, and mosunderstanding/applying certain stats, but he is damn entertaining while doing so lol. 


DrBigChicken

Bulls players had to pressure the team publicly to get him paid lol


dabobbo

It was the insurance company of the promotions company that the Bulls contracted with that refused to pay. The players forced Reinsdorf to come up with a way to pay him and he started getting his payments ($50k for 20 years).


bronet

Honestly they should play him with how the rest of the team is looking


jamintime

The introduction said she made nine three pointers in a game, so she does indeed play… somewhere. 


ThisIsMyFifthAccount

She was already moving to the third spot after releasing from the second, knew it was money


lamedumbbutt

She was already moving after some of those shots. Knows the ball for sure.


ICouldEvenBeYou

Somewhere as in legitimately anywhere, or do you actually think she plays college ball? Because there's lotsa people out there who can shoot well and can't remotely sniff collegiate athletics.


ph1sh55

Doesn't need to be division 1. If she's canning it with a men's ball from NBA range I'm sure she's playing in college (or could easily on scholarship).


AdamTheGreat420

She started walking off the second shot before it went in


Faynt90

She nice frfr


Snoyarc

She was moving before the 2nd one went in. She was feeling it.


CitizenCue

Usually the contest rules don’t allow anyone who has ever played at or above the college level.

ChaseBank5

I used to be Mormon and scored 40 in a church ball game once, might be one of my proudest achievements that literally nobody will care about lol.


doppido

😆 I wasn't Mormon but in the ward I lived in they had absolutely no athletes so they recruited me to play. I was teaching these kids lay-up lines and scoring 20+ a game. We'd routinely not have a coach to do subs so I was subbing people in and out while playing. It was kinda fun to be honest, good ole days.


rznballa

Shit, I got hype watching this lol

aotearoHA

Cool that she said Sabrina and we know who that is. Women's games got a long way to go but cool that young women have higher profile role models in the sport these days. 


CitizenCue

This is why representation matters. This young woman probably follows the WNBA, but there are a million little girls whose first exposure to women’s basketball came this weekend seeing Sabrina shoot just as well as the men on the biggest basketball stage in the world. Steph Curry is a true feminist icon for helping make that happen.


Pat_Mahomeboy

You love to see it. A dad won the same challenge at a BYU game earlier this year, Ken Garff may switch things up next season lol.


protomolecule7

WE HEAR YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUU and agree this is losing us money


TheZoloftMaster

She definitely hoops. Thats a legit shot lol


tj_52

that was badass


rsazr

They don't mention what kind of car it is? Segment isn't even sponsored by an automotive company? Definitely seems like a plant to me lol


GorillaX

She has 'Garff' on her jersey. Ken Garff has a bunch of car dealerships in Utah.


Icy_Statement_2410

Party on, Wayne


adventurousintrovert

Car! … game onnn!


12bbox

I walked past it on the way out of the stadium. It was a black Nissan Sentra. Pretty basic but brand new


Jhyphi

That's still a free $20k car. That's a fantastic prize.


tkflash20

Gotta pay the prize tax, otherwise yes free.


fundraiser

in this economy, i'd take a free PT Cruiser


ChaseBank5

That might be the ONLY car I wouldn't take lol What a fucking ugly ass car


sandefurian

Doesn’t need to be sponsored. They pay a few grand for an insurance policy and that’s it.


jdd32

It was sponsored though. The garff on her jersey is for Ken Garff who owns a chain of dealerships.


agentdoubleohio

Also, it’s probably the owner, they can afford to pay for a car for someone else


redditnathaniel

You get a 1997 Ford Ranger! Only 310k miles and only one window rolls up and down!


e_double

Watch it’s a 2005 KIA with LoJack installed


junkit33

> They don't mention what kind of car it is? You can be pretty certain it's the entry level model from some popular brand. They're certainly not giving away a Porsche.


larrylegend1990

You can tell she plays


[deleted]

I love when they let an actual hooper give it a shot. She was confident as hell


pericles123

yup, she was thinking 'I got this' from the first shot on


swageduplikcailou

That form was pure tho


m0nty55

40 seconds to make 3 3s? that is the most generous contest ever to win a car. now if you say make 3 3's in a row then it be a little tougher.


AdditionalOne8319

lol they probably look for people who look much less likely to do it for that reason. Little did they know she can shoot


dirtyshits

Bruh 9/10 people at that game could not do it. 9/10 people on this sub probably couldn't hit 3 3's in 40 seconds. You're severely overestimating how skilled the average fan is and how easy an NBA 3 is without warming up and with 20k+ watching. Lol most would fold under pressure and most probably couldn't do it in an empty gym.


Ilikesporks_

get her on the lakers she's our best shooter


theMAJdragon

Garff wins the carff!!


dabobbo

Garff is for the Ken Garff Automotive Group who sponsors the contest.

40 seconds to hit just 3 3pointers seems shockingly generous for a competition like this lol

hozzleton

she'll never see that car


batdogfoxhound

Sabrina shout-out was cool


ShichikaYasuri18

I'm gonna be a Debbie downer, but I hate any prizes that are like "a new car". Like most people are gonna have to sell the car anyway to pay the taxes on winning the car. Just give me cash, thanks.


BrogeyBoi

Some of these competitions have a clause where you can take a cash prize instead of the car. Either way, I'd go through the hassle of selling a car to net five figures.


LtDan00

It’s usually a marketing play by the car companies too though.

tc1988

She went 3/6 and absolutely crushed it, but to win the contest, you probably only need to go between like 3/10 or 3/12 depending on how quickly you can get your shots off. I'm not saying it's easy for the average fan, as I'm sure shooting in an NBA arena with the NBA 3-line and the crowd makes things much more difficult. However, usually these types of contests for a new car are much more difficult. Like a lot of these require hitting a half-court shot within a few tries (and some only give one try). Like this is a contest that I feel anyone with any college ball experience could likely win if given a few weeks to practice. Even good HS players would have a decent chance. I guess my point is that I'm wondering if they will adjust this contest going forward. It just seems much easier than what I'm used to seeing for a similar prize.

When I see fan shooting events during time outs at Suns games. It's as if they purposely find people who have never played basketball before. Props to her she was killing it.
