2024-2025 NBA season

So it breaks down to the NBA saying that TNT can't match Amazon's bid since Amazon is in 3 times as many homes - hence the two aren't "equal". 

It's gonna be a drawn out legal mess now I'm sure.

Saw an interesting theoretical on Facebook so I thought I'd ask the Question here:

You get to pick Option 1 or Option 2

Option 1: Stephen Curry

Steph shoots 10 Free Throws blindfolded. For each shot he makes, you get $10 Million; but for every shot he misses, you get 3 years in Jail.

OR

Option 2: Victor Wembanyama

You get 5 chances to score a layup on Wemby. If you score, you get $100 Million; but if you do not score, you go to jail for 10 years. 

What do you all think?

[Malenko]

So, Option 1:  80 or 90 Million dollars, and 3 to 6 years in jail.

Option 2: 0 dollars, 10 years in jail.

 

Yeah, option A it is.

 

EDIT: Just noticed I missed the blindfolded part. It would be a much worse situation, but I'm not scoring on Wembanyama in my lifetime. Even if Curry scores much less, i still have some million dollars that could assure even my time in jail could be in much safer conditions.

[LL!]

As a man of below average height, I have no choice but to pick option A. 

[Chris2K]

I'd go B, and tell Wemby if he lets me score, he can have a negotiable % of the $100 million.

There is, however, a distinct possibility I would miss all 5 even without him defending me.

[Pooker]

Depends on the situation with Wemby. Is it just me, running right at him? Is it during a game? Just saying, if I can draw his attention elsewhere, I might be able to make one.

And, does Curry know the stakes? If he does, he ain't missing.

So, if it's during a game, I'm taking the chance at Wemby. If Curry knows the stakes, I'm taking him.

Is there an option C?

[Chris2K]

Option C is a night out with Nick Young, which will cost you $10 million and result in 3 years jail time.

I wasn't thinking outside of the box. This could possibly be the best option.

Gordon Hayward announced his retirement today.

Lauri Markkanen is expected to sign a massive long term contract with the Jazz tomorrow, making it so that he is untradeable for the next season.
