Arenas and Stevenson have a friendly 3-point shooting contest. Gil shoots one handed from college 3, while DeShawn shoots two handed from NBA 3: http://blog.washingtonpost.com/dcsportsbog...vs_deshawn.html
Dam, that's awesome. He shoots them so easily one handed too, he doesn't even have to jump from the actual 3 pt line.
lmao, that was awesome. Nice to see some behind the scenes stuff like that. Gilberts one handed shooting was amazing. Loved his antics at the end there too, seems like a real clown.
So it seems DeShawn was on pace for 71 or 72/100 from nba 3pt range. Although some of the shots Gilbert probably was distracting. DeShawn had 68/96. Pretty good shooting for one handed from Gilbert, I definitely wasn't expecting 73/100.

Remember he was doing standing shots, not jumpshots. <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Gilberts one handed shooting was amazing.

<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">-I tried to interview DeShawn Stevenson and got a couple of things from him despite Gilbert's constant background chatter about how he took $20,000 from DeShawn in that shooting game the other day. Gilbert has now taken to calling DeShawn: "Second" as in he finished second. DeShawn simply calls Gilbert a cheater and pointed out that Gilbert didn't hesitate to hit him with a pass at the end of the first quarter when DeShawn drained a three-pointer.</div> http://blog.washingtonpost.com/wizardsinsi...ose_strugg.html
I hope he dosen't collect.....he was all in Stevenson's face, plus DeShawn only makes $900,000. On PTI, they said thats only like $600,000 clean. Thats like 4% of his earnings....on second thought, he can afford it.

<div class="quote_poster">Mamba Wrote</div><div class="quote_post">I think he's happy that he left Orlando, now that they're struggling.</div> He left 3 million on the table to play for a team that has 3 more wins and he's happy I highly doubt that. He opted out in hopes to resign with Orlando for a few more million (5-6/yrs range) He wouldn't drop his asking price so Orlando signed Keith Bogans to replace him after that his only option was to sign for the minimum and hope he can raise his stock and get a bigger contract next year. To say that he's happy with that would be foolish not only is he making far less money but his role isn't as big as it was with Orlando.
