Anthony gave his side of the story at the end.. Did you guys see Shaq respond on IG ?👀
What Shaq said?
i don't think jimmy was trying to tear him down tho he was just stating the obvious that it's different. But i would love to see the guy redeem himself

@@hawaiianwater1913 go look up gilbert arenas shootout, he just won a few days ago beating nba and wnba players for 100k shooting from nba 3pt range
damn thats crazy the man rose from the ashes of public humiliation like a phoenix. respect.
The dude was shooting a basketball and had an off day. At no point did I feel that was humiliating for him and no one should have.
@@christopheryou5040 ofc, he proboly dint get much sleep that night, drove quite a bit, nervous, people disrespecting him. But everything for entertainment
@@christopheryou5040very clearly he was beyond humiliated! “Shooting a ball” as you said, was his entire life! So yes, it literally almost ruined his life
Can’t hold the real ones down
@@BranDawg81 in that case, the only thing I see as humiliating is that shooting a basketball is his entire life.
He didn't quit basketball after getting humiliated by the NBA players he looked up to. He kept grinding his skill set and is on the plan to regain his honor after being humiliated as a all-talk no-show. Now that's a man on a goal! Respect!
No, his skills were always there. Go to Gil’s channel and watch their interview and you will understand why things weren’t going well for him at TNT.
Never meet your heroes...
100% Love the guy now!
He humiliated himself. His shooting skills were always there, but his personality is as awkward and insecure as ever. Nobody wants to watch this dude.
@@t.yop9his ego and basically no real humbling will piss people period. But I will admit that studio court... basketball looked higher than regulation and the crew has probably shot on it like 1000s of times...of course an nba player with practice is going to nail them.
Pat Riley once said that if his life is on the line, he'd pick Larry Bird to take the clutch shot. Definitely a great choice, but no one is perfect. During the Celtics' best season ever on 04/06/86, Bird (that year's eventual MVP) was intentionally fouled to stop the clock. He then proceeded to miss two free throws in a row, which led to Dr. J sinking in a 3pt game-winner for the Sixers. Bad streaks can happen to anyone at anytime. Imagine the social media reaction if Kenny beat Steph Curry on TNT.
draymond green a NBA player got owned by kevin hart in a contest.. even kevin hart felt awkward back then
Bad comparison, you comparing a game to a friendly shoot out
@zachbaquiran7796 I didn't, I was referring to streaks. Like how Riley made his point about survival based on shooting.
Read your bible! (KJV, preferably) ♥
@@abel6298 I prefer Stephen King.
Anthony’s shooting talent is undeniable, but I have a different take on this. He has experience taking threes, but not taking threes in front of 4 NBA legends in a studio. The lights were too bright, and that’s not his fault. He’s never been in that situation so of course he doesn’t have the experience necessary to perform. But Kenny the Jet Smith? He’s been won two finals. He’s playing in the studio he’s called home for years. Of course he won the shootout. This is the same reason why analysts always tend to favor veterans when picking playoff matchups. Over 82 games, young talent will win you games, but if you’ve never experienced playoff basketball, it’s not reasonable to expect the success to hold up the same
Idiot, they were in a studio. The roof was too low to take a normal shot. Kenny has probably shot 1000's of shots in the studio and knows what arc to put on it to still make it. PLAYOFFS? WERE TALKING ABOUT PLAYOFFS? LOL
Kenny also shoots 3s in that studio on that basket every day. I'm pretty sure it is not at all like a regular court or basket. Also I think the ceiling is pretty low, so you can't shoot with the same arc you usually would. Most of all, Barkley and Smith are disrespectful scumbags. Used to like both of them as players, but the more I watched their analysis, the more I couldn't stand them. Haven't watched their show in many years.
Excuses
I'm pretty sure if they let this dude warm up previous for just 10 minutes and take few practice shots he'd kill it.
@@therandomwizard188 As if you don't f*ck all in your life!
Props to him for grinding back his reputation. Maybe Kenny needs to be a surprise invite in the next 3pt shootout Anthony's in. That would be cool.
Read your bible! (KJV, preferably) ♥
@@abel62986️⃣6️⃣6️⃣👹👹👹
Imagine Kenny trash talk him again 😂😂😂
He folded when the real spotlights are on... I put my money on crooked legs Kenny.
I wanna see him shoot off the drible against 6’5+ nba players whilst 20k+ people watching live, couple of millions in USA and a couple of a hundred thousands across the world…
articles putting out "self-proclaimed" sh* is crazy. the guy's an OFFICIAL record breaker.
he is shooter but can he do it with a clock? maybe NBA should invite him to join the 3pt shootout.
the record is literally timed so I'm pretty sure it's with a clock lol@@edmontoncouple1562
He broke records but that doesn’t mean he’s the best shooter ever he is the self proclaimed best shooter because he calls himself that nobody else does, steph curry is and everyone knows it
Guinness is not official 🤣
@@alphabrother6823it is stupid. He's just a shooter, not an NBA shooter, big difference.
Gil gave him a chance, and boy did he show up. If his record video wasnt enough, he did it against pros and beat them. Proud of this guy. No one will doubt this guy again lol.
Nothing but respect. A guy grinding himself back to the 'top' after being pushed to the bottom shows hardwork and dedication.
If only more people had this type of mentality.
naw hes a squid kenny needs to stuff him in a locker again
LOL. Sleep well, troll. 😆@@bashy8466
For real, now that's what you called a real man. Like some type of warrior shit. Getting attacked and have your land stolen from you. After years of training, he set out on a mission for revenge. He then succeeded with hard work and determination retaking his land and eventually restoring his honor. Respect!
@@bashy8466Bros mad he'd never shoot that well lmao, did you not watch the video
The TNT crew definitely needs to invite him back. I feel like that's the only way to redeem himself
Or compete in a gym for prize money! I'd watch it!
@@HenryHoops fs
Redeem what? He already holds the world records and has proven it time and time again. He doesn't need to sink 3 shots in front of them to prove anything.
this @@HenryHoops
@@HenryHoopshave Shaq and Chuck put up half a mil each and if Anthony beats Kenny he wins the money.
Fantastic message at the end man.
It's never too late to be the person you were meant to be.
@Benjamin_Simmons Go Ben!
Big faxx
Kenny has literally done that shootout with multiple people and does the same trash talk routine. Dude folded under pressure he wasn't set up.
And it’s not even harsh trash talk, people are just softhearted these days.
It's not about it being harsh trash talk, it's the fact that they had no respect or decency just because he wasn't a player, I wouldn't bat an eye if Kenny was playing Shaq 1v1 and saying those things, but it wasn't his friend he was giving banter it was a complete stranger and it just showed that he had no class.
@@DontWannaBeif he got the shots in this is a non issue. But no he failed miserably under the bright lights.
He complained of the conditions and was set up, Kenny was in a suit and in the same conditions. Let’s just admit it, the guy crumbles under pressure
@@danewoods4712 he already explained everything now if you still cant get it then its on you.. players have different strokes when they shoot, if youre to dumb to not know that then dont bother comment.. if someone was impaired on what they usually do then dont expect same results.. the guy put up valid reasons.. even NBA players needs warm ups and shootouts just to familiarize themselves on away courts.. even curry the best shooter in the world brick shots so why would we insult someone over and over for 5 years when it wasnt his fault or heck if it was his fault its just a small sample size to be ridiculed for 5years isnt that not petty?? he won 100k for shooting 3's not once that just proves he is legit
Exactly
This guy is a good dude, I messaged him after seeing his interview with Gilbert, and he was nice enough to respond back.
I slept with him try and beat that
What did he say?
@@captaincomical6154he said “fuck u “
@captaincomical6154 I just showed some support to him and wished him and his family the best. He was kind enough to do the same
This is not about being a good guy. Lol.
Thank you for making this video I felt so bad for him after watching the Jimmy video
Same! and then last Saturday he competed in Gilbert's 3pt Shootout! Crazy Timing
ohn 3:16
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life,.
Kenny beat him while in a suit dawg😂 who cares it’s not like he’ll ever make the NBA
@@dc81503 did he claim he was an nba-level player? he only claimed to be one of the best pure shooters in the world, which he is.
why would you ever feel bad for him? he was so cocky making excuses
I'm not surprised the best shooters aren't in the NBA, just like the best dunkers aren't. The best players are.
if you can't do it when defense is being played (he can't), you're not the best shooter. same goes for dunks
NBA players have said and even Kenny mentioned it. There are players out there that are better shooters and skilled dribblers, the difference is can you do the sacrifice and the grind day in & day out. Starting from being in the gym, working out, and practicing everyday (or almost). Being in condition, fit, and healthy. Watching film, studying, then training. That's what separates the pros from the casuals.
You’re not the best shooter or dunker if you can’t handle trash talk or defense. Anyone can make a shot with no defense.
The hate this guy got from his Inside the NBA appearance was so stupid. Anybody that knows anything about basketball, and also an above room temperature IQ knows what went wrong. He's not an actual hooper. He's a shooter. He perfected his shot in very specific conditions. He's not able to adjust his shot to weird conditions like a former NBA player would be able to. The studio has low hanging lights that prevents him from getting the arc he needs to hit his shots.
Excuses
I don’t even know much about the guy but just from the clips used in this video we know that’s not entirely true. He played in many different lighting conditions, shot from everywhere outside the arc, shot from high school 3 line, nba 3 line, and even on damn arcade hoops😂 I think you had the right idea at first tho: he’s not a hooper. Having famous personalities heckling you on live TV has gotta fck with you mentally if not prepared.
Actually ima take back what I said a bit cuz I rewatched the clips 😂😂😂 yea his arc had to be much flatter than ANY of the clips he shot in. I still think we see enough variety to show he has adjusted his shot for pretty much any distance, but his arc is consistently super high so yea, pretty diff for him. I still think it mostly comes down to the pressure of NBA stars heckling him that faked with his nerves though.
@@Astrothunder_ respect for adjusting your take. I think it's 30% the environment and 70% the pressure of the HoFers watching him.
@@DavorNL What excuses? Thats the literal explanation of what happened that says dude is good under a very specific conditions, other than than that, he crumbles
Man…. I’m so proud of him! Go enjoy your 100k brother!
In this economy, he gonna get a 12 pack and half a tank of gas 😅
So kind of you to cover this. 👍🏼👌🏼🤙🏼
thats dope of you for pushing this vid out and it ending up not only in my feed but looking viral! good shit man. 💪🏼💪🏼
Thank you for making this video
This was a great video to watch dude! I loved it how you covered points that other creators or media outlets didnt! The two shooting competitions that he took a part in, I hadn't even known they happened until watching this video. I dont usually comment but I can see the work you put into this video and its awesome!
Yea
He did a good job .
I knew nothing about this competition and it even had Jenna bandy and her fine self placing 3rd. ..
On inside the NBA they literally talked about how he broke the Guiness record and won competitions...they gave him like 30 seconds to talk about how great he was. The problem is his immaturity and not understanding to have a little humility. Everyone misses, just roll with it and laugh. Instead he made the segment awkward by making a million excuses and arguing with Charles Barkley. It just looked worse because he was next to a 10 year old who was acting more mature than him.
@@t.yop9 you don’t understand. He had every right to argue because he had excuses that he wanted to make, and they were telling him not to make excuses. Charles is ignorant and he deserves to be argued with it doesn’t matter how immature it seemed and also this guy takes pride in his shooting. Obviously, everybody misses, except him! That’s his whole thing that’s what he was trying to prove that he doesn’t miss and if he does, then something wrong happen.
Sounds like he's great when there is no spotlight on him, and when it's time to perform in front of the world, he chokes.
That's why he can win a 3 pt contest for us to watch weeks later, but can't perform on live TV.
Only thing that redeems him is beating Kenny on Inside the NBA.
It's probably best to stay clear of these media personalities...
Look at what they are saying or doing to each other. An outsider, like Miracola, stands no chance at all.
These are just shit talking athletes. Thats what competitors do. dude couldnt handle the pressureBYE go back to the beer league
Those guys have massive egos.
@@Icegaze039 exactly. When some no name who shoots like a girl and is 5 foot tall starts talking shit. Yeah. There not gonna like it too much. And rightfully so after Kenny whooped his ass
Dude... A 50 year old retired guy in a suit beat him... He choked, they made fun of him, deservedly so. Can't call yourself GREATEST SHOOTER than shit the bed like that. For every excuse he makes why he lost, Kenny could make excuse why he shouldn't have won. If he's a regular, don't call yourself the greatest, simple...
STOP MAKING EXCUSES! The guy couldnt handle the pressure and bottled it. Kenny in his element. Its comedy gold TV. The guy isnt up to NBA standards. Thats it. No big deal, hes a mere mortal.@@nemanjaradovanovic8033
won't lie, they reposted the clip on tnt and made it look like it was this year, not 5 years ago.
Good job for covering this. God bless you for giving this man his flowers
"Hitting 42 out of 50 shots"
"A breathtaking 82% from 3"
uhhh math?
This loser made this trash video, you think he's gonna be good at math?
@@PrecisionAcc lol
Yeah man 84%
lmao @HenryHoops deleted my other comment
Finally found the other person in the comments who notices bad, basic math. Ty
Bro said "he got a shooters mentality" this is a practice session.
Exactly. He failed *under pressure* on TNT. I’m sure all of the contestants shoot 80% at the gym. Try doing it with cameras, sponsorships, and the trash talkers in your ear
Got any world records? Lol
@@fabiantaveras8458world records don’t mean your the best shooter. Being the best shooter means you can adapt and be under pressure what he can’t be
Thank you for posting this
Kenny Smith vs Miracola rematch on a proper court and contest format. Let's go!😄
Miracola already won tho. 🧠
Seems like a good dude. Glad he bounced back people LOVE a comeback story TNT needs to invite him back for sure.
Nobody wants to see his excuse making ass on TNT. He was a great gym shooter before he went on TNT. People just laughed at him because he was so insecure and made a million excuses on national television. It's not because he couldn't shoot. The dude doesn't deserve a 'redemption' story because he still hasn't changed his awful personality.
No they dont lol
but yes, good for him for bouncing back
Sounds like he's great when there is no spotlight on him, and when it's time to perform in front of the world, he chokes.
That's why he can win a 3 pt contest for us to watch weeks later, but can't perform on live TV.

Kudos to you Henry Hoops. Thanks for this vid. This type of vids are so refreshing because it uplifts others.
Thank you for telling the rest of the story!
"The world's best pure shooter"😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Thank you, worlds best comedian 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Like Rich Paul claiming to be one of the best shooters in the world 😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I feel like a lot of this whole drama and reputation loss could have been solved with a clarifying name for his skill: either arcade-shooting or wide-open-shooting.
The basketball leagues should have the privilege of calling in-game shooting just "shooting", as this is where the skill comes from. Taking it outside that environment, it becomes something different
It's a 3pt shooting contest. They do it every year at the All-Star game. Steph Curry, Larry Bird, Irving, Nowitsky, Lillard.....they've all won.....shooting WORSE than Maricola did in the final round.
@@SDesWriternot hating on the guy but this competition looked like they were giving the shooters a good amount of time to shoot. He doesn’t look rushed at all. I would assume the time disparity for this competition and the nba 3pt contest is pretty wide
@@SDesWriter if maricola were to join an actual nba 3 point shooting contest he'd barely make any and choke considering the fact that the nba contest ones are actually timed and theres pressure. the 100k contest didnt even have a time limit. Now we've all seen maricola shoot when he's under pressure and he was missing all day 💀
@@avertisel329 I'm not sure what drugs you're currently on, but he has won TWO $100,000 shooting contests. For someone barely getting by and with a sick child, that's a lot of fucking pressure. In the final round he shot 21 for 25 TWICE. No NBA player has ever shot 21 for 25 in the three point shooting contest. It was timed, although there was more time than you get in the NBA contest.
Could he score from outside on Pat Beverly? Of course not. But your claim is so ludicrous it borders on mentally ill.
@@SDesWriter No NBA player has ever shot 21 for 25 considering the fact that it was actually timed PROPERLY and players only have a minute to shoot compared to the other contest he participated in where he was legit taking his time to set up his shooting form and moving like he had all the time in the world (which he did, since there was no time limit or at least where the time limit was too long) 😂. Put him in an actual NBA 3 point contest against active NBA players and he'd crumble under pressure just like when he was against kenny because he wouldn't have time to set up his muscle memory on his shooting form. He's not the 'best shooter in the world' like he claims he is
You're the real MVP for giving this man the respect he deserves. I'm always for a good underdog story! Props to him for not giving up also... I think at any given moment there are always more people hoping for your failure than there are cheering for your success.
this is a very good content, Henry. we need more like this
Its different when the pressure is on.
The suspense in these videos are dragged out😂
Calling bets "picks" now, are we. Get that shit out of here. Shameful
Thanks for making this video man.
When you get trash talked by a couple hall of fame nba players, it would be difficult for any basketball player to focus, let alone a non pro one. It’s a different situation completely.
Congrats to Adam Sandler.
Thank you, good you shared :D. awesome how he keeps going and shows these results. :P the reposted video they are just playing arround with him :(, kinda intimedation 3 vs 1.
This is why I watch basketball. Like, the plays, strategy, and execution are essential, but I also like to watch players fight through the downs. The trash talk, the disrespect and short memories. Watching an unexpected player have the game of their career to help put away a big team, etc.. Like a microcosm of the media circus and life in general. Fight through it all!
Jimmy was pointing out the difference between what this guy does and what nba players do. It’s a completely different beast to break a shooting record by just shooting and feeling the pressure of a real game/competition where people talk sh*t to each other and pressure you for you to fail, thats the game… The guys on TNT missed the point on what he does, totally, and Jimmy just pointed out that it simply ain’t the same. Props to this guy on his records though.
To be fair (though I can't comment on the ceiling in the TNT studio) but there's a real chance that dude's arc was affected by that studio. If so then yeah, 100% unfair. Of course Kenny would win in a game that gives him the advantage. I'm basing this off the clips shown in this video, but it looks like his shots in the studio were much more linedrive oriented vs more rainbow oriented in the record clips/shootout. Just food for thought.
@@davidrosensin7985 Agree... that studio setup isn't the same as a real court set up. Kenny shoots in there every day, and has adjusted his arc.
@@cnelsonlv99 exactly and being the competitive douche he is, he reveled in the fact it would be awkward for their guest.
pfft too much excuse, if you're claiming to be the best shooter, you should know how to adjust... weak
@@cnelsonlv99nobody can argue against this. just look at kenny’s shot on a regular court vs the studio. his shot is noticeably flatter in the studio. end of debate for anyone keeping it real
The truth was aparently “the vibe was off”…
Bro has just been GLAZING this man for 10 minutes 😂. The shooting contest part of the video was good tho
It was he was getting shouted at every second.
@@Rafathegam231yeah imagine being Kenny Smith in the nba with an arena full of people rooting against you half of the time and still nearly hitting 40% of your 3PT shots over your ten season career. Oh and I forgot the whole NBA level defender part he dealt with too.
Damn Anthony really had it rough.
@@ImAlxxy Not one fucking person is trying to say the guy knows how to be an NBA player. That was NEVER his intention.
Thanks for making this video
Glad he showed his son never give up.
His nerves got the best of him he was around NBA royalty and being watched by 10's of millions of people at home. Any normal person would be nervous as can be its understandable. That is what makes the greats great is their ability to perform top notch under the most pressure and he clearly didn't during that broadcast.
He didn't get choke they he just had no warm up and the ceiling was too low for his shot. You don't think $100000 is enough pressure.
@@wmitchke BS. His shot is low arch too but still kudos to him to win it all

Probably the first video I've watched of yours. Love how you took a story of a guy who was getting piled on and gave him his moment to shine. Gil is a straight hater but shoutout to gil for having that contest and inviting ole dude on the podcast afterwards. That's real af.
did you forget the 100+ steph did in practice?
is it a coincidence u were sponsored by the same company that sponsored this event?
I'm just glad someone stand out for him

This guy can shoot better than everyone else….while having a terrible looking jump shot. Unbelievable. Props to this guy! Also why is Shaq so defensive about what this guy said? Shaq can’t even shoot three feet from the basket 😂
This was inspiring honestly
Great video! 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽
no one said he cant shoot, but its completely different when you have only one chance, props to him for winning, ofcourse in real game situations his form would mean he cant find his shot but still its almost impossible to have this percentages even if you have all the time in the world for one shot

Naw the TNT crew set him up for failure. They gave him no warm up on a sub-optimal court. Kenny practices every day on that court. Of course he's not going to need a warm up like Anthony Miracola

Great video !!!
REMATCH, great video dude!
He choked on TNT, nothing wrong with that, even the best shooters on the NBA today have their off days, but the way he has excuse after excuse, whine after whine, shows his true character. He even whined about being “disrespected” by Shaq, Charles, and Kenny, but the ribbing they gave him was some of the most gentlest basketball trash talk ever uttered.
Probably cause it’s true. Especially with how disrespectful Barkley was when I expected him to be chill. I would feel some type of way too.
Yea but right before there shootout Shaq went up against that kid with free throws and lost they were clowning Shaq he choked he was in gym clothes and Kenny was in his suit
everyone has different shooting strokes and shooting arc.. even curry has a superhigh angle when shooting.. if his shooting was impaired because of TNT studios fault then dont expect the same results.. he didnt whine, they had a deal to not shoot 3's because of studio problems.. if someone doesnt honor their word then they are the one's at fault.. and the dude made a name for himself with his shooting, its part of his living.. a great quote from dave chappelle "Taking a man's livelihood away from him is akin to killing him.
Dude choked on TNT, ain't nothing wrong with it, even the best shooter of all time like Steph shoots bricks in some games
@@strawberrysherbet9679ain’t nobody was being disrespectful. It just was friendly trash talk. And chuck was right the minute he loss he started making excuses. Ain’t no excuses he knew this was coming up as well it wasn’t that serious. Kenny didn’t even warm up so it’s no excuse about warming up. He just choked, it’s cool, nobody expected different he’s a regular guy who can shoot. Doesn’t mean he could do the same shit in a game or with pressure on the line.
Bruh kenny shot in a fucking button up while he was in gym attire. Cut that weak shit out. Kenny smoked his boots on national tv
It was deadass 3 shots tho. Yes Kenny smoked him, but I don’t think it was worth blowing up and effecting this man’s life the way it did.
Lets be real Kenny has been taking a hundred practice shots in that same dress for every shot Anthony made in that studio. Not impressive at all. It was a set up up for Anthony, anybody could see that.

@@sychobones3788 end of the day he took 3 shots with a bunch of multi millionaire guys averaging 6"10 in height were shouting in his face on live TV. And he missed three shots. When he enters a shooting competition he wins $100,000 against legitimately good NBA shooters and others. No it's not a basketball game, but it's a shooting game. And he's pretty damn good at shooting. He'd fail hard in a game but you literally can't deny he's very good at shooting. Gilbert Arenas is also a great shooter and is a baller. But this guy won the competition so is good at shooting. Pretty much wraps that point up.
@@jambononiThese dudes just want to clown because deep down inside they know that they're inferior to this dude and it bugs the crap out of them. Crazy how many people can't just give the dude props. Hell of a win against all those guys.
42 out of 50 is not 82%. Just saying lol
84% - appreciate you for watching so closely 🙌
That kid in class going out of their way to say someone got an answer wrong 😂
@@ryangeorge3982 they’re talking about basketball stats, a math that’s 2% off is huge. Especially if the math is as easy as calculating for percentage.
Beautiful vid
Much respect for him! Great story !
His form tho💀
If it aint broke dont fix it
Bro making more 3s than your favorite NBA player though...
@@BlitzJP12he is not that’s why he isn’t in the league
@@334ben10 He isn't in the league because he is short, unathletic, and takes a long time to get his shot off. But the dude can shoot the sh*t out of it. That can't be denied.
@Storm23PS3 yeah but it's all circumstantial 😂
It’s his ignorance claiming he’s the best shooter but makes excuses when hes not hitting them.
Idk why people are happy for him
He earned that L by being so cocky while being suxh a goober goofball
@@JacaboBlancoThe dude is so petty it makes me laugh. I didn't even know who he was before he showed up on TNT and didn't care much wen he did & forgot who he was after his appearance on TNT until I saw these TH-cam vids pop up of him with reminders of who he is. People that are that much in their feelings tend to do crazy things when they snap too far - I don't like em.
@@3rdworldgwaming467 "People that are that much in their feelings tend to do crazy things when they snap too far - I don't like em."
What the fuck are you even talking about?
Dude simply choked with millions of people watching under a suboptimal and hostile environment. That could happen to anyone. He didn't "snap" or whatever crap you're making up. That's some massive projection right there.
You're the kind of person who just takes the side of the authority figure, the celebrities, because it's easy and you can't think for yourself. You fall for the easy narrative hating a guy just for missing 3 throws. Then instead of admiting it, you just make up even more bullshit to convince yourself you weren't wrong.
Always this stupid phrase "He is making excuses" YEAH sometimes you have the damn right to make excuses. Low hanging lights is a very valid point!
It's not an excuse when you're not even on a real court.
Being humble brings you a long way.
Respect to this kid for persevering
I would like to see a rematch with him and Kenny Smith in a gym giving the fact the nightmare's he had steming from that moment on TNT. With all the pressure of having to win. Who you got?
Kenny will wash him again. Go watch actual basketball games kid

@@vibangigan5336 kenny isnt even close to a great shooter gilbert arenas was and arenas got destroyed by this dude..
@@TambayLogic stop typing ignorantly and go watch actual games and not highlights. I know your a child cause you literally don’t know what you talking about. I’m from DC and I’m not taking Gil over a lot of shooters he was incredibly streaky outside of highlights.
I'm sorry, but Chuck leering at him after he airballs his first shot will never not be funny
The look of digust priceless
Offering trash talk and giving your best in competition is a sign of respect. If they didnt respect him they wouldnt even have bothered letting him shoot the ball with them.
Thanks for sharing this video and clearing this man name I hope JxmyHighroller do the same.
We used to play at the Harrison health and fitness center. I couldn't use my natural arc. ceiling was low and I would hit it on normal threes, I knew watching this back then it was bs.
Their ceiling is even lower than there ay TNT.
You were doing so well with English, until your final sentence.

@@paulievespucci6867 anything that happened he did to himself with his whiny attitude.. just go up there and have fun on TNT with NBA legends. He took it too seriously, got embarrassed, made excuses, and then wants apologies from the crew for what he did to himself?
this better go viral
Kenny was shooting in a suit lol the guy can’t complain about anything
Kenny had practiced shooting in a suit. They're just racists who wanted to set a white man up. Don't believe me? The NBA media stole an MVP from Nikola Jokic.
Alright. Kenny vs Anthony REMATCH on a Basketball Court. That’ll fix his reputation.
He choked
@@logicalmalethink4925he's demolishing Kenny on a proper court
Thank you. You are a really good influencer 👏🏼👏🏼
good shit bro, dude proved everyone wrong!! thats what a man do!
Guy chocked. quit crying
Naw the TNT crew set him up for failure. They gave him no warm up on a sub-optimal court. Kenny practices every day on that court. Of course he's not going to need a warm up like Anthony Miracola
@@TDotRedemption wow. You are delusional
@ViolentEd17 Lol, you're delusional if you think it's okay not allow people to warm-up. I'm sure Kenny got shots up every day leading up to Mercola appearance.
Kenny and the TNT crew have a lot to lose if Mercola beats Kenny.
I like Kenny, but they stacked the odds in their favor.
as someone already commented "Dude... A 50 year old retired guy in a suit beat him... He choked, they made fun of him, deservedly so. Can't call yourself GREATEST SHOOTER than shit the bed like that. For every excuse he makes why he lost, Kenny could make excuse why he shouldn't have won. If he's a regular, don't call yourself the greatest, simple..."
@@TDotRedemption
You have to understand from a basketball players standpoint. When you hear a guy saying he’s the best, has world records for shooting, etc I bet you he thinks he’d be in the nba if he was taller. When you are cocky and can’t back it up that is what happens. No room for that bs when you are playing sports and especially if you aren’t even professional. If you are good at basketball, you can play anywhere and it doesn’t matter if it’s a studio or not. It’s a basket get a bucket. An old man in a suit beat him in a shooting contest. Come on man
Did you even watch the video? Sounds like you jelly bro. Jelly AF 😂😆😂😆😂😆😂

Gotta applaud that tenacity
4:21 i know this court, this is spooky nook in Pennsylvania I had a few games here this last summer, crazy experience. Every hooper that played here is absolutely nuts.
People trashing his shot, then somehow having no understanding that he may not be able to immediately adjust under unfavourable circumstances!? Make it make sense.
He wanted to shoot free throws, they told him no we shooting 3s, he said the roofs too low, it's a problem for him, they didn't care , even though Kenny acknowledged it was a problem too. It's like a sniper telling you he cant make a shot under these conditions, then you clown him for not hitting a shot he already told you he couldn't make...
Some bests are versatile, some aren't that's just how it goes
Shooters shoot, Period. That’s why he didn’t feel accepted by them because Hoopers are a different breed than Arcade/Competition shooters. He needs perfect conditions that are favorable to him to succeed and a true hooper gone understand how to adjust to the conditions. Slippery court, double rim, no backboard, no net, low ceiling, angles, arc, bouncy ball, slippery ball, etc. Then excuses didn’t help made him seem like a crybaby. Should have just showed respect and took the L, Jet gave him an out but he was to busy trying to make excuses.
Love your channel, I'm a big fan. As for the story, my opinion is that He simply choked on TNT. It doesn't take away from his other accolades, but its not like TNT altered the footage. if Kenny could make those shots then so should this guy. If he wants the title of "best shooter in the world", he has to be able to make at least 2/3 low arch shots.
ohn 3:16
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life'
This is facts.
There are a multitude of factors that cause the choke though. The hosts shit talking and hitting his mentality, no warm up shots, etc.
Kenny was fully comfortable in the studio and the same cannot be said about this guy (new environment, pressure of national tv, shit talked on, etc). He's a pure shooter that are simply not exposed to the rough elements and was basically a fish out of his tank on the show.
He definitely choked, but not without valid reasons imo.
@@cnaizhen As a person who goes to different competitions all around the country to compete, being in a new environment isn't a valid excuse. Neither is getting shit talked when he knows he's going to this show that has hosts shit talking each other on the daily. The only valid reason is warm up shots. Everything else is an excuse, especially if you tout yourself as THE BEST SHOOTER IN THE WORLD
@@tirosc warm-up shots are not even a valid excuse when the other person didn’t get them either. and on top of that, he went against and old out of shape former NBA player.
Run that ish back TNT!!!
