Gilberts New crazy challenge
My New Challenge
Right now I'm in the middle of making 100,000 shots over 73 days. It's a little mini-series I do. Right now I'm shooting 69.7 percent from the three-point line and I'm shooting 79.3 percent, I think, from the college three. There's three people that rebound and tally my makes and misses. One kid is Jared, he's a ball boy and there's also Drew Cleary, our strength coach, and Brian Chase. He's actually trying to make the team and doing it with me.
I came up with this idea because of this kid Mike. He's a shooter that went to my high school and broke some of my records, and this is what he just finished doing. So we do these little challenges because he thinks he can shoot better than me. He knows mentally he can't beat me, but I have to say he did shoot 85 percent from the college three-point line. I think that's pretty good.
I know people will look at the 69 percent from the NBA three for me and be like, "Oh, that's nothing," but when you're shooting 5,000 shots a day, believe me, that's pretty good.
