Default Re: Prop bet- Tuan Le vs. Antoine Walker, 1-on-1

LEave it to poker players to give taun lee a shot. Walker will kill him. Walker's shooting percentage are when he is being defended by world class athletes and not little asian men. And even then he is regarded as one of the better players in the world (starting in the NBA proves that).

Unless Antoine is forced to wear roller skates this match will be a joke.

I think Tuan is a little too confident..
Tuan was talking about how walker? could only bench 250 or so....so he thought he was stronger than him which he is not taking into account the fact that walkers arms have so much farther to go during that particular exercise.. and that hes "basketball strong" like they mentioned.

Tuan Le can bench 250? That's a prop bet right there.

I'm 6'4" and played high school ball and have about three years experience working with college teams and three years working for an NBA team. I'm almost certainly a far superior basketball player than Tuan. Antoine Walker would murder me. I'd put my odds of winning the proposed prop bet below 5%...maybe around 2-3%.

I once watched Troy Murphy hit 88/100 NBA 3-pointers during an offseason workout. He's a poor NBA 3-point shooter. I would have little to no impact on 'Toine's ability to get off a good shot. Tuan would have no ability - none - to even remotely concern 'Toine unless he punched him in the nuts every time he went up for a shot.

The only relevant bet to me would be the over/under on "number of shots it will take Walker to beat Tuan". Certainly under 20.

The fact that there's no way Tuan ever gets off anything resembling a conventional shot is also a bit of a problem. 'Toine could play well off him and still block his shot while denying any sort of dribble penetration. Layups would be completely out of the question. I'm quite certain that 'Toine is much quicker than Tuan.

I think AW is overrated, a poor shooter and generally don't like his game. Despite that, he'd be a 95% favorite in this game, imho.

As for hitting 20 in a row from three....I've hit 10 in a row from about 20 before, and I hardly ever shoot 3s. I'm sure he would do it without too much trouble.
