Has anyone ever seen Walker shoot from outside 22 feet?

This is the same guy who put up airballs in the three-point contest.

He also isn't the quickest defender in the world.

Tuan at least has a chance.

[/ QUOTE ]

This is also the guy who has a teammate that said "He makes 20 threes in a row routinely at practice"

[/ QUOTE ]

I wonder why a teammate finds it necessary to publicly announce just how good Walker is in practice. How embarrassing for Walker to have a teammate say that. I think Tuan could win this even if he has to play against Antoine Walker AND Donyell Marshall simultaneously...

[/ QUOTE ]

that is just absurd. i think you are underestimating how hard it is to make a shot w/ a 6'7 guy who has an 80'' wingspan soaring at you. not surprising at all that he could make 20 threes in a row. i'd probably spot walker 10 pts

walker couldnt hit 20 threes in a row if he shot until he died

If Tuan has to take it the ball past the 3-point line, he has no chance of scoring. Even if he had an accurate shot, what would he be - maybe a 30% shooter from behind the arc (with no pressure and all the time in the world to shoot, not with a nearly 7 foot professional running after him at full speed).

Even if Walker is shooting 25% beyond 22 ft., Tuan would need a ton of open shots to get to 3. Never happening.

Why do you guys assume that Tuan sucks? I'm not saying he doesn't...I just find it weird that you somehow KNOW FOR SURE that he only hits 30% of his wide open 3s.

[/ QUOTE ]

I don't know for sure, but he will get very, very few wide open 3s.

Also, his wiki states "Outside of poker, Le is a recreational tennis and badminton player". You would think if he were a fairly solid player it would say basketball (I know this is weak evidence, but does slightly further my case).

WHO GETS THE BALL FIRST???????????????????????

[21times20]

anyone who has played 1 on 1 with even a female college basketball player knows tuan le has no chance here barring some kind of shoe related hustle

How many Vietnamese are there in the NBA again? Anyone who's seen "White Men Can't Jump" knows this is 10x more difficult for dwarf asian. Tuan Le gets stomped like dwarf asian cockroach...

To echo the sane people in this thread, 'toine would obliterate Tuan. Not even close. Too many people focus on Antoine's inability to shoot. Well, maybe not as well as OTHER NBA PLAYERS but against the average poker player, not even close. Unless Tuan has a 90" vertical leap (exaggeration), there will be no chance for him to challenge his shot short of punching him in the balls.

The major problem Tuan will have is getting a shot off. Even if Tuan blows by him WITHOUT losing his dribble and without getting it picked, Antoine will recover fast enough to block his shot while Tuan attempts a lay-up.

NBA players are damn good. The only way Tuan wins is if he can nail half-court shots routinely or punches to the balls are allowed.

even under these conditions i doubt tuan's ability to score 1 point
