POLL: You have 5 minutes to score one basket against Rudy Gobert, 1-on-1. Can you do it in the time limit?

BlueVU

3/1/21 3:04pm

What happens when I miss? Do I get the ball right back?

RalphWiggam

3/1/21 3:06pm

If you miss, you get the ball back at half-court.

BlueVU

3/1/21 3:07pm

Easy. But then again I can shoot from deep. He'd have to come out and guard me

777

3/1/21 3:45pm

Yep, this is essentially asking... “Can you hit one 30-40 foot shot in 5 mins.

3/1/21 8:17pm

In 5 minutes I’ll eventually hit something.

PHXSUNS31

3/1/21 3:06pm

You'd be lucky to have a single shot even reach the rim.

shoganai

3/1/21 3:24pm

Unfortunately we’ll never know..I still think I could though.

PHXSUNS31

3/1/21 3:33pm

After he blocks my shot with his face a few times I’m betting he will back off a few inches to allow a more traditional

SolidBlue

3/1/21 8:08pm

You realize he gets to contest your shots, right?

Tricky

3/1/21 3:29pm

Yep

PHXSUNS31

3/1/21 3:35pm

I'd pay to watch you fail

DeekLyfter

3/1/21 3:49pm

I’d pay to try...maybe we can start up a collection..donate to charity

PHXSUNS31

3/1/21 3:58pm

if he let me shoot from half court, I'm sure I could do it.

Belboz

3/1/21 3:08pm

He's gonna guard you like his life depends on it.

BlueVU

3/1/21 3:12pm

well there goes that dream

Belboz

3/1/21 3:29pm

Well that’s a little different than what I interpreted the poll as.

blueaussie

3/1/21 4:15pm

I doubt more than 5% here can. I'm way too slow to create enough separation to

DieHarder

3/1/21 3:09pm

5 mins... yeah I can do that.

Cougar TD

3/1/21 3:11pm

Not if he doesn't want you to

DieHarder

3/1/21 3:12pm

He isn't that fast, and I wouldn't try to drive on him.

Cougar TD

3/1/21 3:16pm

Maybe he isn't fast compared to the average NBA player, but he's still very

DieHarder

3/1/21 3:19pm

The bottom line is whether you could beat him off the dribble and create space

Scratch

3/1/21 3:28pm

Yep this would be my plan.with a full head of steam I think I could create space

PHXSUNS31

3/1/21 3:37pm

<< Deleted >>

PHXSUNS31

3/1/21 3:39pm

He'd give you space and still probably block half your shots.

JuicyJam

3/1/21 3:38pm

If I have the ball, and he has to guard the entire court and I get all rebounds

Cougar TD

3/1/21 4:05pm

Oh, he's fast.

Belboz

3/1/21 3:30pm

He's faster than you are, though.

ReyOso

3/1/21 5:41pm

He better be... But I can score a bucket

Cougar TD

3/1/21 5:45pm

Some of us, though, have actually scored buckets on NBA guys before

RE: Some of us, though, have actually scored buckets on NBA guys before

rcbyufan

3/1/21 4:07pm

A guy like Kawhi, Simmons or Mikal would be a definite no. Probably couldn’t

PHXSUNS31

3/1/21 3:41pm

I think the difficulty with Gobert would be that he could still block the circus

rcbyufan

3/1/21 3:47pm

For anyone who’s trying to get to the rim, I agree. He’d swallow those up

PHXSUNS31

3/1/21 3:56pm

I would get tired after like 3 attempts and then he would be able to just trail me with a brisk walk.

OPINIONS

3/1/21 4:31pm

His best strategy is to make sure he guards you outside & lets you drive inside

FrontLineFan

3/1/21 3:14pm

57% say yes! I love the CB hubris

Medute

3/1/21 3:18pm

Cmon- it would probably be the exact same ratio on the Ute message board

RalphWiggam

3/1/21 3:20pm

There's a CBer on here who believes he could have guarded Jimmer in his prime.

ldssdl

3/1/21 3:46pm

I am pretty sure I could have guarded Jimmer when I was in my prime.

RalphWiggam

RE: I am pretty sure I could have guarded Jimmer when I was in my prime.

57% of Cougarboard grossly overestimates their own athleticism.

shoganai

3/1/21 3:18pm

Buncha ward ball chuckers who think they might get lucky.

Eddie

3/1/21 3:28pm

Well I know I can easily make 20+ 3’s in a row.

RdF3

3/1/21 5:22pm

How many people would pay $100 or so to play against Rudy for 5 mins?

RalphWiggam

3/1/21 3:19pm

I’d love someone to do this poll again and include a couple other things

Medute

3/1/21 3:21pm

Go start a ute website and then ask that poll.

MrClark

3/1/21 9:06pm

Can I call my own fouls and shoot free throws?

SLIVER

3/1/21 3:21pm

He'll give me that half court shot ... I'll make him pay

South_A

3/1/21 3:23pm

is he not allowed to rebound? either way, no.

GRCoug

3/1/21 3:23pm

If you miss and you get it back, you can try again. If you miss and he rebounds

BlueVU

3/1/21 3:25pm

so he'd have to play pretty tight to prevent you from just chucking up long

GRCoug

3/1/21 3:41pm

Once I'm past him I am dunking it off of one foot and out of a full sprint.

JAGA97

3/1/21 5:45pm

sure

Agnostic-alumni

3/1/21 3:28pm

Of course. I can make a half court shot in 5 minutes. I can also run circles

JAGA97

3/1/21 3:32pm

Have you seen my crossover? So, the answer to your question is obviously

garyfan

3/1/21 3:33pm

53% of CB thinks it's this easy..

SLIVER

3/1/21 3:38pm

Looks easy 😉

BYUFootballisBack

3/1/21 3:44pm

Who said it'd be easy?

Fightgar

3/1/21 5:50pm

In high school I could hit a half court shot once every few shots.

ironman1315

3/1/21 3:41pm

I said 'Yes'. Maybe someone already posted, but I didn't see any rule about

DiamondMo

3/1/21 9:12pm

My strategy would be to shoot a floater. Just run full speed at Gobert like

CougarTailDevourer

3/1/21 3:55pm

All hook shots. One would eventually go in.

lightmann

3/1/21 3:59pm

At 7'2" he's tall enough he'd likely be able to block your hook shot.

CougarTailDevourer

3/1/21 4:09pm

To all of you Yes answerers: no you can’t

Hoax

3/1/21 4:09pm

Played against/with Chauncey Billups, Anthony Carter and Brooks Thompson

Gibbcoug

3/1/21 4:09pm

None of which are near the defender Rudy is

Hoax

3/1/21 4:16pm

Not at the basket - but better on perimeter.

Gibbcoug

3/1/21 4:20pm

There’s an idea...trick him into thinking you can’t shoot by throwing up bricks

PHXSUNS31

3/1/21 4:23pm

One desperate three in five minutes? There is a good chance.

Carnac

3/1/21 4:11pm

About 50% of the folks on this board don’t realize how big, skilled,

Refugee

3/1/21 4:37pm

Does he faceguard me or pick me up as i drive? I can hurl half courts decently.

Icelandic Cougar

3/1/21 4:45pm

Bingo

Carnac

3/1/21 4:52pm

I assume his goal is to prevent you from scoring anything

Tricky

3/3/21 2:55pm

50% of the people think they can hit a deeper than nba 3 in less than a minute?

Tuskaloosa Cougar

3/1/21 4:52pm

5 minutes*

PHXSUNS31

3/1/21 5:01pm

Oh I misread. Yeah 5 mins. Even decent HS level bball player could get one

Tuskaloosa Cougar

3/1/21 6:03pm

I played HS. Good player, really good shooter. Better than 90% of CB, only the

777

3/1/21 5:48pm

Oh I misread and thought 1 min. I think there is 50% of people that are scoring

Tuskaloosa Cougar

3/1/21 6:13pm

It's a fun question. In a real one and one game that starts at the top of the

777

3/1/21 6:20pm

100% agree. You give me 5 mins straight with the ball it would be fun to see the

Tuskaloosa Cougar

3/1/21 6:41pm

And FINALLY the "No's" overtake the "Yesses".

BlueVU

3/1/21 4:56pm

LOL at you fools who said "Yes."

Ham

3/1/21 4:58pm

In 5 minutes I can drain at least 1 half court shot.

Fightgar

3/1/21 5:52pm

Bless your heart.

Ham

3/1/21 6:00pm

Easy. Steps: 1:Show him the Glock and tell him to back off. 2*:Shoot until make.

notaboy

RE: Easy. Steps: 1:Show him the Glock and tell him to back off. 2*:Shoot until

BlueVU

3/1/21 5:39pm

I can hit a half court shot given 5 min of attempts

Dat_rmishner

3/1/21 6:07pm

You know he's guarding you, right?

sah22

3/1/21 7:24pm

I am aware, but percentage wise he would likely hand back a bit to avoid someone

Dat_rmishner

3/3/21 5:03am

He could be guarding you at the opposite baseline,

Ham

3/3/21 7:51am

True true. But i still stand by being able to make a lucky shot. Not

Dat_rmishner

3/3/21 8:28pm

I probably couldn't score on Jimmer if he's playing D

Hill4Heisman

3/1/21 7:06pm

LOL no.

durandal

3/1/21 7:24pm

It'd be pretty tough, but I'd bet $100 I could score at least once in 5 min.

protonspring

3/1/21 7:49pm

and yes. . I've played with a few NBA players, so I know what I'd be in for.

protonspring

3/1/21 7:49pm

Sure. I’d just bring my collection of microphones with me...

flyonawall

3/1/21 8:43pm

Am I allowed to foul? I could Draymond him five straight times and he’d let me

DiamondMo

3/1/21 9:15pm

If he full court presses, nope. If I can chuck it from half court... maybe.

rtNelson

3/12/21 2:04pm

Dude, the game ended 11 days ago. Gobert crushed you. Sorry, try again next time.
