Could you beat Michael Jordan in a game of HORSE?
    #5651030 -

Okay, here is the scenario:

Do you think you could beat Michael Jordan in 1 out of 1000 games of HORSE, ONLY shooting 3 point shots? No fancy/random/weird shots, strictly 3 point shots (NBA distance).

My friends and I have been arguing constantly for a day now about this.

How? Keep in mind it's a game of HORSE. First off, you have to get him down to HORS, THEN, he has to consecutively miss both of his E shots or, he misses his first one then you miss the finishing shot.

The sheer chance of you getting him down to HORS to begin with is pretty minimal; so I say hell no, not in 1000 games would I win one.

And when he had that off game, you would have to have an on game. The chances of both of those happening at the same time would be pretty damned minimal.

Very true. I am speaking about when he was in his prime.

Also, I don't consider myself good at basketball, that is right; confidence and personal ability come into play. But, we were speaking from an average joes perspective. I should have clarified that.

Also, this is the kicker that most people don't consider. You have to get him down to HORS.....BEFORE he gets you to HORSE.

Out of 1,000 games? I'd be damned if I don't win at least 25 of them...it's 1,000 games! As long as you have a decent shot...

Out of 10 shots, how many do you think you could make. On average.

I haven't shot in a regulation hoop for a while. If I got my groove back, probably 4-5 of 10.

Would this be 1000 consecutive games? How does this work?

I bet I would win quite a few. I shoot around about an hour a day, almost exclusively long shots.

I'm sure there is a math whiz here that could figure out the statistical chances by using Jordan's stats (although you'd have to compensate for lack of a defense).

The tricky part is determining the 3-point percentage of an "average" player. I'd guess a definite "no".

...most subjects find the experience valuable, some find it frightening, and many say that is it uniquely lovely.
