<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>"I told him that I'd shoot with one-hand from college three better than he can shoot with both hands from NBA three. He really doesn't want to make that bet. He keeps brushing it off."Anyhow, today after practice, Gil took 100 one-handed college three-pointers, and DeShawn took 100 two-handed NBA three-pointers. Oh, and they bet $20,000. Brendan Haywood and Antonio Daniels kept score. Caron Butler rebounded. Cal Booth was the voice of justice and fair play. Virtually everyone else on the team sat and watched.Gil started out on fire, and finished up making 73 out of 100, with DeShawn attempting to distract him by spinning maniacally while dribbling a ball in the background. By the end, Gil was launching one-handed shots from out of bounds. "You think he's going to make 70 three-pointers?" he asked teammates, who questioned this strategy. "Get the [heck] out of here."In any case, Gil was making em one-handed from out of bounds, too.Then DeShawn set in. He made his first 13. It got quiet. He made 17 out of his first 18. "Damn, dawg," Gil said. Then Gil got to work. He started jumping up and down while DeShawn shot. He started dancing around in circles. He started screaming at A.D. for constant scoring options. He got in DeShawn's face. He did some Matrix moves, sort of some modified flips or rolls. He pretended to kick DeShawn. He pretended to be a quarterback, taking a snap and dropping back to pass in front of DeShawn. He screamed a lot. He jumped some more. DeShawn cooled off.Going into the last shooting station (10 shots), DeShawn was 10 down. He could still tie. He had made his first 10 shots from that same spot. Gil was hyper beyond belief, squirming and wiggling on the ground. DeShawn made his first 5. My palms got all sweaty. He missed the sixth. Gil began breakdancing and laughing uncontrollably. DeShawn stormed off the court."Hey, I hope this don't mess you up for tomorrow," Gil yelled after him."You ain't gonna never hear the end of that one," A.D. said."Gilbert found some way some how to distract him in the clutch," Caron said.DeShawn said he wasn't talking to Gilbert any more. He said the distractions were just too much."I think Gil crossed some boundaries," Cal the judge said. "I think a rematch is in order."I had to leave before Gil talked. I had to go to the White House. Ivan Carter will bring you much more on this story. But that's why I write so much about the Wizards.</div>I find this funny and amazing at the same time. It just goes to show how good NBA players are, you can be a bad shooter in NBA games but be a great shooter during practice.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bn6O42a5vl8
Haha thats ridiculous. Deshawn shouldnt get mad over some friendly competition like that. Even though he did lose 20,000 dollars, haha.
hehe they actually did it. I thought wen I 1st read that they were just jokin. 1 handed 3s..73..thats nice
lol haha Deshawn Stevenson got pissed cause he couldn't handle Arenas distractions. But Stevenson took this so seriously and it must suck to have a team mate not talk to you. but wow one handed shots from out of bounds is amazing.
I saw that video of them doing that man that was an amazing performance but it was pretty funny when Gilbert was distracting him while he was shooting he was trying all sorts of stuff to mess with him.
That is ridiculous. That just shows you how good NBA players are. 73 percent with only one hand? That is so crazy...And for Deshawn to make 17 in a row or whatever...That is insane too. I dont know how people can do it. I think that is really funny though...Great find Tony.

To DeShawn, that $20,000 meant he could feel better about his bank account. To Agent 0, winning that 20 grand simply meant "gloating". However, I'd love to see the footage of this. Sounds interesting as hell.</span>
73% with his left hand? :wtf1: That's pretty impressive. Poor Deshawn. He has gotten better, but he is still not a very good shooter.

DeShawn was shooting lights out in the beginning and overall he made like 67 out of 100 and he didn't finish.
Dang I saw the vid of this and it was crazy how they were knocking them down with ease. Arenas went a little overboard on distractions IMO tho. He shoulda just let DeShawn shoot so he wouldn't get all pissed at the end because he thought Gil crossed the line.

<span style="font-family:Comic Sans MS">I want DeShawn Stevenson & Gilbert Arenas to have a $20,000 dunk contest.. That'll be dope, especially since DeShawn will win. No prob.</span>
