I know if I shot more of them (because its much sexier to practice 3's) I'd be better, could hit more, could shot higher than my measly 70%-ish. So maybe 15 in a row at some point when shooting 100 total. But on that 16th, it'll go just a little bit to the right, and rattle out. Or a little far, and bounce straight up and then off the rim.

I cannot even imagine what Dirk's done.

If you can hit 15 in a row, you can hit 30 in a row, and if you can hit 30 in a row, you can probably hit 50. In a gym, with a good ball, on a good rim, with a good form, without the pressure... A lot of hobby baller could do well. I could probably reach 30-40, in a couple of days max, i'm a good amateur shooter though. I tried only once for a half hour, i hit 14 in a row, outside, with a slippery, scuffed ball. But this incredibly awesome man, doing this on the biggest freakin' stage of the basketball world, in front of thousends, (millions), hitting several clutch ones in the proccess... That's the big thing i guess. Anyway, 1-0!!!!!
