Josh Ariah Interview in Bluff

[Howard Treesong]

'Sup bro could do it. Remember how many times he collapsed the pocket in 1995?

In all seriousness, I occasionally get courtside seats for Clipper games. We went down there early one night while teams were warming up, and David Wesley was betting some rookie $100/shot. Wesley's feet had to be out of bounds directly in front of the visitors' bench. He hit eleven in a row before the rookie called uncle. Wesley turned to us and said, "These young guys never learn." Wesley is a solid-shooting pro, but he's not nearly as prolific in that regard as someone like Nowitzki or Stojakovich -- or Bird, for that matter.

I don't have any doubt at all that 70/100 from behind the NBA three-point line is entirely doable by many people. 90 is tougher, but there's no way I'd lay any serious money against that proposition.

David Wesley is probably one of the top 5 jump shooters in the NBA. Also in the high school three point shootout the players average well under 70%. These are the best high school shooters in the nation and maybe 3 out of 10 hit 70%. I didnt read all the posts so maybe somebody already mentioned this.
I would have given Josh 5 to 1 odds on that bet any day of the week.
