I was at the concession stand and heard the loud roar. The contest is 2 shots from the same spot so I was wondering the past couple of games if odds would have been better to make like an NBA 3 and then the 3/4 court. Not sure would I would have chosen. I think making 2 half courters in a row off the street is impossible so this was probably the better strategy.
The kid looked like he knows how to party! Really hoping he has wild parties, hookers, and breaks the place in!!!
I shot that half court shot as a kid at the FieldHouse , I missed.
Lol, who had banked three and swished 3/4 court shot on their bingo card? Dude looks like he is 11 years old. Good for him, though. Nice job!
So it turns out that the million to one contest really ended up being about one in 15.
2 half court shots still a million to one. A 3 and 3/4 court shot probably 100K to 1
You must have known someone to get the program that had the ticket or whatever was in the program to get to take the shot. People said that all the programs that had the winning page were held and given to friends and family.
From 84-88, one of the guys selling programs was a friend of mine from my floor at Tower C. He always had a program with the "shooting sticker" hidden under his "booth." Over the years, he let me have the program about a dozen times. I never shot it but I gave the program to my friends. None of them hit the shot of course.
At one point the wrestling team sold the programs. I paid a guy $20 and got the stickered program. Shot an airball and got booed.
Don’t go into statistics
It's going to cost the landlord another year's worth of rent to clean the place up after he's done.
I saw an interview with him on WTAE. He said he wasn't supposed to go to the game because he was supposed to be at baseball practice but it was canceled. I looked it up and he's not on the baseball roster but maybe he is a walk-on and isnt listed yet. But if he is, I would think he wouldn't have been eligible for the contest. I dont know what other baseball team he'd be on that is practicing in February. I kinda doubt those summer adult leagues practice in February.
Sorry, Liberace, but downtown apartments are luxury compared to South Oakland. Let's no diminish the prize he won....probably 20,000 in value or more
I would think the company would value it at 30K+ for tax write-off purposes. So that means the kid will have to claim that as income. If he's in the lowest tax bracket, that's 3K in taxes. Not bad but luxury or not, living downtown in college would suck. Honestly, I probably would have declined the prize when I was in HS simply because I wouldn't have wanted to live downtown. His parents told him "dont sign anything."
They advertise during that contest as luxury apartments. They are not. Also checking the rents its under $15,000. So he's won a prize that he won't be able to conveniently use, that he will have to pay income taxes on, and for which he will likely need to come up with a security deposit for.
it was a fantastic achievement, but a crappy prize. I bet he'd have much preferred cash.
The guy went to Peters Township. Money won't be an issue. It's a great prize. It isn't like he won a free apartment rental in Washington County. Downtown is a relatively short bus ride, and judging by his LinkedIn page, the kid juggles a lot.
