That is stupid.

When I said name the terms I meant the stakes.

But if you want to do something like an avatar bet, I would do something like this since you would need to shift the odds in your favor to have a chance:

You record yourself shooting 100 free throws
I shoot 100 3s

Higher score picks losers avatar for a month.
Now you are going to make 3s at a higher rate than I hit FTs?

and you were crying that I didn't believe in your shooting prowess (even though I did)?

You are comedy, my friend.

In the NBA this year, there were 9 players who played enough games to qualify that averaged over 9 3 point attempts a game. In 1990, the guy who finished 3rd in 3 pointers attempted averaged 4 per game.

The game was different back then. I never said it was a sure thing that his coaches wouldn’t have figured out how special he was and unleashed him. But it would have been a lot less likely because coaches taught the game differently. The range of outcomes for 90s Curry would have included a lot of alternatives nowhere near stardom.
OK...and my only comment on the matter is he's be a way better player than Steve Kerr if dropped into the 90s. A spot up shooter, off the bench role player? was he going to forget he knew how to create his own shot?

That Kevin Love is a top 5 all time PF and the Lakers are everyone's favorite team right now.

Top 5? Please. That's insulting. Since Love got into the league in '08-'09 he's the # 1 PF. # 1- K.Love. # 2- T. Duncan. # 3- who gives a fuck?

You started this by calling me out and questioning my ability. Meanwhile, you have also touted your own shooting ability on multiple occasions.

If you believe you can make FTs at a higher rate than I can make 3s, then take my bet.

But you won’t. Because you probably know that I can beat and that would be embarrassing for you.

Dude, I was on your side. I believe he would be good in that era.

But there is also a chance he wouldn’t have developed the same way if handcuffed by coaches along the way. Which was very possible.

I botched the 2nd part. I guess if you disagreed with whatever was being discussed I needed to say the Lakers are hated.

Doh!!

Actually, I wondered why you thought it was necessary to bring it up and why your coach didn't see enough in you to play you more.

I get to name the terms? I shoot FTs, you shoot 3s?

Of course it's possible, and I was just saying one HS coach who didn't care what kind of shooter you were/are was irrelevant to the matter.

I wouldn't never disagree but I disagree about whatever disagreement was being discussed.

Everyone is saying UM has had OSU's number in football the last decade and OSU just cannot get past that harbaugh guy since he took over.

Think what you want. The prevailing mindset of the era was inside out play. Guards did not pull op for 3 off the dribble like they do today.

It was a story that illustrated the difference in thinking. Very few coaches truly understood the power of the 3 and it shows when you look at how much 3 point attempts have increased over the years. That is fact.

OK, back to the bet you offered....

I get to name the terms? I shoot FTs, you shoot 3s?

I don’t know what you mean by naming the terms.

If I am giving you a significant edge like this one, then it will be an avi bet or something like that. But yes, I will definitely make that bet.

I make more 3s out of 100 than you make FTs out of 100

He obviously meant the stakes
What do you want to wager, he is letting you pick that.

Changing your avi does nothing for me. How about $25 to a charity of my choice if I win. I'll donate $100 if you win?
