Can an Average Guy Beat NBA Star Joe Harris in a 3-Point Contest? | Above Average Joe | GQ Sports

- GQ Staff Writer Clay Skipper played some high school basketball, but 3-pointers were never really his forte. Brooklyn Nets star Joe Harris, on the other hand, is the reigning 3-point champion of the NBA and it really can't be overstated how amazingly good of a shooter he is. So, naturally we wondered if Clay, our Above Average Joe, could beat this NBA sharpshooter in a 3-point contest. Seems reasonable, right?
Starring: Clay Skipper, Joe Harris, Etienne Brower, Ray Salnave.

You should do “can an avarage man beat ben Simmons in a 3-pnt contest
I would pay to watch that lol
Or shaq
Atharv Rege nah, Shaq is a decent shooter nowadays.
At least pick someone who plays basketball and knows how to shoot. This guys a joke.
Vmann2103 that’s the point. He’s a pro but can’t shoot for his life. It would be fun to see
I have never seen someone hit the side of the backboard so much
Baby Ninja ong💯😭
Elijah McCauley he got blocked
Just look up flight reacts and you’ll see a lot more of the backboard shots
Have you heard of Flight Reacts 😂

Well he gets more on practice but when you're on the 3 pt contest it's more pressure
@@veryspyzzy6803 yep because the arena is crowded
Well the three point line is closer and there is less pressure so it’s not as hard.

Hey Jared
It looked like Joe was this guy during the Nets Bucks series 😂😂
It like they switch bodies, but they should’ve not let him played at all in after game 3

This might be the closest thing we get to Barack Obama teaching John krasinsky how to shoot 3’s
I really appreciated this
if you watched the office you know krasinski is a hooper he don't need no teaching
😂😂😂 I thought he looked like Jim as well
Legendary comment
he looks more like an early bj novak to me
Joe thought he had some competition. He hit three in a row and then he airballs the whole first rack😂😂😂
Feel bad for Joe, should've got more love for winning the 3 point contest. One of the best shooters
he just doesnt have that vibe
Caleb Oberhouse he’s definitely more well known
Everyone here in New York know him. In BK he’s got some fans
if he was to be more pumped and celebrate more he would get more attention. but im still a fan of him one of the best shooters in the game today.
Lol I find it to be really hard to feel “bad” for multi millionaire that’s gets paid to play a game children play. But I get it 😂💯
if this guy is above average, I'm an NBA legend.
Lmfaoooo
Same here

Ay to be fair it is an NBA three 😂
@@ItMeRishi to be fair, my friends who don't play bball have better shot than him. A guy like me, or someone who at least play bball sometimes will cook him and don't leave a single ash of him
He’s got more wasted motion in his jumper than Michael Kidd-Gilchrist
lmaooooo
AlmightDee THATS what I’m saying
really late but you should watch his freethrow video its so wack
Imagine defending this guy, he’d land on your feet every time
He'd roll his ankle in ten min.
He’d tear his Achilles in one minute of play if you stand right in front of him
Rad J he’d get hurt lol
James harden has entered the chat
Thats how harden draws fouls
I can’t believe I watched this man miss for 20 minutes and stuck around just to see joe

worth it lmao
challenge joe again dude, i think you'll win now

this didnt age well lmao
dead

Nah he have stage anxiety, it's why that he shoot more brick than a above average joe in the playoff 💀

Blatty26 hahaha me to the ball look like the ball is 20 pound he jump 4 feet away 😂😂
that 3pt is so far. thats near the centercourt in my gym
@@sakimtornado lol it's a NBA size court
@@nicholasmaslonka4011 I know. that would exhaust me shooting there too. lol
@@sakimtornado well not to mention that not only is he moving between racks, he is moving that whole 4 feet on his shot with how far forward he jumps. He exerts way too much energy on that shot. You see most players jumpshot is up and down, no forward movement.
He launches his body forward and shoots on the way down
yea horrible shot
I was waiting for the dude to tell him that
its like playing 2k in hall of fame. there's just no way ur shots are going in.
@Jay20431 jumping forward helps if you jump in one motion, and you don't jump too far. A number of good NBA shooters jump like this on their shot.
Felipe M Look at my 3 points czcams.com/video/3cV3inKrwbg/video.html
i think generally he just jumps too high when he shoots
Krunckle-Spork he has to because he doesn’t have the strength to get the ball far enough.
Jay the higher you jump makes it harder to shoot far
La Tortuga Picante That’s why you jump higher, you don’t need to shoot as far if you’re jumping when you shoot. Some people are leg shooters, which means they’re short and need to use their legs more, or they’re just not strong enough to get the ball far enough.
@@actinglikejay9241 dude you is dumb
Ray allen jumps high too, works for him..
That guy Clay, built a house in 1 minute with all those bricks..
lmao
And blew it right down with all that air.
lmao lmao
Ben Simmons joined the group:
lol
I mean he made more 3 pointers then Ben Simmons has in his entire career
AJ Palmeri cause he never shot for threes
They should definitely let Simmons be in the 3 point contest one year
Chill bro that’s my point guard
He looked like he was throwing his back out every shot
Dustin T would u be kind enough to sub to me
loool
Subscribe to deed nutz
Something about his mechanics was taking a lot of force away. None of his leg push was going into the ball.
Yeah I think he really wanted his shot to look better than actually making the shot.
He goes “MONEY BALL” and completely airs it lmao you’re a good guy Clay
Side of the backboard exists*
Clay: It's free real estate
You forgot the * in front of exists
Bro was really throwing bricks up 💀💀💀, form was cold asf though 😭

🤣🤣 so stupid if you think about it.
yeah I mean, ofc he would never beat any 3pt especialist of the NBA, as bad he could be still an NBA player, so cmon JOE HARRIS? One of the top shooters in the league?
I mean kevin hart beat draymon in a 3pt contest
himbo does stuff, people click. That's the whole concept
I mean, dude made a video of him constantly failing and with a premise he was guaranteed to lose just because it's fun to watch people fail. Respect as far as I'm concerned, at least it was presented honestly and not edited to be flattering
Tips for a better jump shot.
1. One-motion shot ( Less energy and much faster release).
2. Elbow and front leg alignment.
3. Knees bent relative to shot distance.
4. Try having a straight back similar to a deadlift.
5. Flick of the wrist, pointing middle finger down and in the direction of the net.
6. Good grip and guiding hand for support.
"For all you youtube haters out there, I really can shoot a basketball" - The guy who jumps on freethrows
Yea, then there are me in my 14 y/o who can without jump and my normal technique. Like, this guy's biggest problem is that he is leaning back, have like over head shot and plus he don't have strength but still shoot a ball on peak of his jump. He just don't know about mechanics, maybe he would do it if he knew and practiced a little
He actually made ZERO 3’s because his foot was on the line for every single shot 🤦🏾♂️
