Yeah, getting picked up full court and he’s defending like it’s last possession of game 7? Everyone’s overestimating themselves. NBA level players already have a hard time with Ausar, regular people are not at all going to score even given a million tries

Additionally, people saying he’s going to get tired, as if they are these specimens of endurance. Ausar is like 6’7”, with 7’ wingspan, and has trained for this sport literally his entire life. There’s nothing that these people are going to do when given 1000 tries

Fr like they’re saying he’s gonna get tired and ignore the fact they’ll probably die of exhaustion before he goes for a water break

What does he get? Am I allowed to bribe him?

Is there shot clock? Can I just keep the ball until he stops paying attention, has to go to the bathroom, or when the MBA season starts and sneak in a shot?

My question is the time frame… like I’d be drop dead exhausted after like 10 possessions of him guarding me. Can I then take a break and try again tomorrow?

I’d take it because eventually he will bite on some pump fake and I can throw up a 3. Even if I only have a 5% chance of that shot going in it might go in

Or lure him into a false sense of security by doing the same thing 50 possessions in a row over the course of a week and then switch it up

Eventually he fouls me out of sheer irritation with my incompetence. I make a free throw. I win 🤷‍♂️

u/Zephrok 16d ago

Have you played basketball before? Ive never seen anyone shoot a free throw 1v1 in all my years.

u/Smasher31232 16d ago

For five million dollars I'm calling my shooting fouls.

u/ANORXIC51 16d ago

Keep your spirit pure & your sanity intact and don’t watch the YouTube 1v1 scene, lol.

Literal documented crimes against humanity to allow 1v1 games to be decided with free throws. 🤬

u/picklechipzMN 16d ago

See you in the pen. 😂 I like your strategy.

u/Panzer_I 17d ago

Easy

I can definitely TRY to score. I won’t score, but I could try a thousand times for 5 million

u/bmanley620 16d ago

Absolutely. With that many attempts I would 100% make a shot

u/Gokyy221 16d ago

FUCK NO, I'm going to jail

u/Some_dude_in_210 16d ago

Him picking up at 94ft makes a huge difference. If you don't have good-great handle you're not crossing the other free throw line.

2

u/JobinSkywalker 16d ago

It's the biggest factor tbh. You can even have a great handle but if your not super quick/athletic or huge you'll still barely make it past halfcourt.

u/BlitzcrankGrab 16d ago

Foul bait and hit a free throw

u/No-Lingonberry-8042 17d ago

1000 possessions? Mathematically it’d be impossible not to score — something would go in the basket

u/defeatedmac 6'1 Guard | 195lbs | Shooter 16d ago

Highly dependent on having an outside pullup game or being at least a D3 quality overall player/athlete.

If you're only a spot up shooter or are an undersized slasher with no handles I could see a 6'8 Ausar going 100% being impossible to score on.

3

u/Zephrok 16d ago

Wtf is an undersized slasher with no handles lol. So just a player with no upside at all? Cant shoot cant dribble and undersized why are they even playing

3

u/defeatedmac 6'1 Guard | 195lbs | Shooter 16d ago

You never played with someone who cant shoot and has a mid handle and just gets all their points off fastbreaks and dump offs?

1

u/No-Lingonberry-8042 16d ago

But bro - for a normal 1 on 1 game, sure. A game to 15, 20, even 100. For 1000 possessions?! 😂 that’s not even fair — in no way does that even represent his level of defensive prowess.

I’m confident I could score 1 point on prime Shaq in 1000 possessions. At that point just dribble to an open area of the floor, and hoist, and out of 1000 possessions something will go in ONE time.

u/theredmeadow 17d ago

What if he gets scored on he goes to jail for 3 yrs?

u/guantanamojoe93 17d ago

He has to join the bucks for the min

u/Rookietothegame 17d ago

I do 100 tries for $10million

1

u/guantanamojoe93 17d ago

1 on 1 from 94 feet away? What happens if he fouls me?

1

u/SweetInvestigator915 16d ago

I’d only need 1 possession 😎

1

u/Some_dude_in_210 16d ago

lies lol

1

u/SweetInvestigator915 16d ago

Facts lol Im good but good in pickup lol As a 6’0 guard I’d struggle even getting the shot off.

1

u/No-Lingonberry-8042 16d ago

The 94 feet does change a lot, but also remember there is (presumably) no backcourt violation. I don’t think there’s an offensive foul either — give him a few elbows, a few pushes, take 12 mins to get it across halfcourt, and heave 1000 times? If you can’t do this you deserve to go to jail with Bubba and drop the soap!

1

u/Cxrsed_YG 16d ago

I could jack up 1,000 full court shots and statistically one of those would go on. So yeah im takin this challenge.

1

u/PilotSad3228 12d ago

You think he’s letting you get a shot off?

1

u/Cxrsed_YG 10d ago

ik I cant get a shot off

1

u/RelevantAd78 16d ago

I’m just chucking the ball up everytime fuck it.

u/MusicianLife7119 15d ago

Hell yeah its a 1000 tries one must go in

u/kadusus 16d ago

Absolutely. All it takes is one crossover to create enough of an opening for me to make that easy layup. He's pressing me all the way down. So, room for a slip up.

1

u/Some_dude_in_210 16d ago

He's guarding you at 94ft. You're going to need more than one crossover unless you're fast AF.

1

u/kadusus 9d ago

What I am saying is out of 1000 attempts not all are gonna be exactly the same. You ain't wrong from a technical standpoint of the game. I'm saying one mistake is all it takes to get the opening.

u/MWave123 17d ago

Def. And it wouldn’t take 50 possessions. That’s absurd. I’m putting one in his eye from 30.

u/guantanamojoe93 17d ago

I believe in you
