People who don't think Toine will instantly steal Tuan's dribble [assuming he must take it back, or even if not] are crazy. Tuan does not have NBA-caliber handle. It's not something you pick up in a poker room.

exactly. I'm 5-10 and a fairly decent basketball player. I can stand in the gym and shoot around 50 percent ...played some in high school and have played against some guys that have played JUCO and D-1 basketball. Antoine Walker would destroy me.

I'm 6'1" and played in HS [point] and summer league vs guys who played MWC, BEast, ACC, A10, Ivy and a few made it to the NBA and Europe.
If you can't dribble with low college-PG level skills, you can't move and get a clean look, and if you can't move, Toine is blocking 100% of Le's shots.

Even if Toine shoots only 50%, he wins easily. And it's not close.

Would 'Toine still win this bet if he were wearing full chain mail? Assume decent shoes, not those metal boots.

[/ QUOTE ]
Full chain main would be about 75 pounds right? If you give him a day to practice playing in chain mail he would still own Le but I assume the chain mail would cause a lot of fouls and stuff.

edit: I forgot out big walker is...that's a lot of chain mail. If walker wears the chain mail can he shoot from closer?

[/ QUOTE ]

The helmet and gauntlets would also make things tough for him. That might be the only way Tuan beats 'Toine. It'd be funny as hell to watch, no matter what the match is.

[/ QUOTE ]
It would be impossible with two gauntlets on. If he just had one on his left hand it would be better.

Who really cares?

As long as we can get photos with a fully regaled 'Toine and a little Asian guy jumping around trying to get the ball, I think we'd all be winners. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Ok, now we're on the right path.

I think Tuan will have an edge in the bet because of the shoes/pants he will make Toine wear. Like if Toine is wearing cowboy boots and Fleece pants, I think Tuan prob has an edge.

Walker's career 3-pt% is .325. Maybe Tuan can play some.
What happens if Walker fouls Le? Does Le get to shoot
freethrows? Then Le has a chance.

AW will crash the boards and rebound > 50%.

how many FTs have you ever shot in your lifetime while playing 1 on 1?

[mo42nyy]

it depends on the rules
if its losers out and antoine has to "respect the line" when he checks the ball to lee then if lee can shoot he has a chance

Oh really?

What do you call shoes worn by a lady who is well-dressed?

I'm telling you, Tuan hands over some Size 17 pumps and says, "Put these on," Walker throws in the towel before the game even begins.
