Which one would you choose?




Money is straight cash, not taxable.

More rules as follows:

Basketball - Curry gets one shot and will only shoot from beyond the 3-point line. As long as you do not foul him, you can be physical and play any type of defense against him.

Baseball - Ohtani gets three pitches. The hit must result in a single or better against the Angel's fielders. Pitches that are balls do not count as one of the three pitches, but foul balls do.

Football - Henry will carry the football and run across the length of a 100-yard football field. You can start from anywhere you choose (i.e. behind, in front, or parallel to him), but your attempt must result in a down by contact for it to count as a tackle.

Hockey - Vasilevskiy will be fully geared and defending a regulation-sized hockey net on ice. Only one shot attempt, but you are allowed to make as many dekes, dangles, and fakes as you want.

There is an objectively right choice to this poll, at least in my opinion.

assuming it counts if the basketball player misses the shot without me actually having to do anything, I'd go for that one.

I think the tackling is perfectly possible. Im heavier than most linebackers and relatively athletic. Its actually getting my hands on him that would be hard. Hes a professional at avoiding contact.

Hes also a professional at running through people contacting him.

Id say the basketball one is the easiest, with the hockey one next. Baseball would be extremely difficult if he throws 3 pitches 100 mph each, and the football one would probably be the hardest. 63 250 pounds wouldnt be easy to take down.

To everyone saying Steph Curry misses a lot. He's one of the greatest shooters in history. >_> You can say he misses a lot since he misses more than he makes them, but that's in games playing against other professionals in a high pressure environment. If he's just playing 1 on 1 with a random CE user, he'd have a much higher percentage. Here's him hitting 105 threes in a row at practice. >_>

Basketball is still probably the easiest of the bunch though lol.

With Curry you only have to defend the 3 point line. You dont have to worry about him driving to the basket. Anyone in good shape should at least be able to make him work for a good shot, similar to a real game.

I feel like tackling Derrick Henry would be the easiest option. You can start from right in front of him so he can't get a running start and run you over. All you gotta do is trip him up enough that he falls.

The counter-argument is that the basketball option is the only one where you are not in control of your own destiny. So it is more like a gamble compared to the other three choices.

I feel like the football one would be doable since you can start from anywhere around him. And the only rule is "down by contact" so I don't technically have to tackle him.

If not that, then leave it up to chance with hoping Steph Curry misses his 1 shot.

Well TC says we can start anywhere around him and we just have to bring him to the ground via physical contact. It's vague enough that playing "dirty" should still award us the million.

With the basketball one, I have a 57% chance that he misses, as he is a career 43% 3PT shooter.

Even if I leave him wide open, there's a 30% chance he misses.

The other three are less than 1% chance of happening.

-Zero chance I can get around on ANY fastball above 85 MPH.

-At 44 years old, no way I could tackle Derrick Henry, or catch him in a foot race, or anything else that would stop him from scoring a TD 1 on 1.

-I do not ice skate well enough to score on even a college level goalie, let alone the (arguably) best goalie in the NHL.

This as well. You just have to guard the 3, and not worry about him dribbling past you.

But I know for a fact that the other three options have a 0% chance of being successful.

Even if Curry missing a "guarded by a 44 year old that's 3 inches shorter" 3 point shot has a 10% chance of missing, that 10% is better than 0.

I'd take my chances with Steph Curry

Derrick Henry was stiff arming linemen literally double my weight in college and has only gotten better, so trying to tackle that dude is just setting yourself up for a world of hurt even if you go for the legs (hope you don't get knee'd in the face)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XmFPMrPwj9g

I used to play baseball and know how hard it is to hit fastballs so I highly doubt I could get a hit from an all star professional pitcher. And then finally I can't play hockey lol I'd probably miss an open net by skating pass the puck while trying to handle it

Edit: Didn't read the singles part for the baseball one. That is pretty much impossible for your average joe

I guess since the hockey one you get as much time as you want but only one shot, in theory if I stood around for hours and outlasted him and eventually he just decided to leave I could maybe score on an empty net. he's got all that hockey gear on surely it's far less comfortable than whatever I'd be wearing
