definitely basketball since it's the only one I can potentially win despite no ability on my part

the others are all so impossible that I can't even decide a possible second choice

baseball for me. I can't ice skate, and if derrick's weight on google is accurate, I weigh half of what he does. I figure if I just swing I might get a hit by sheer dumb luck.

You guys definitely dont want the Ohtani deal for a number of reasons; TC balanced it horribly

  • You cant draw a walk; Shohei has no need to worry about accuracy and can let it rip. Hell, even getting beaned doesnt give you a win. This man can throw over 100 mph so youre at serious risk of a concussion or brain damage.
  • Hes only facing you. One of the main reasons closers are so frightening in baseball is because theyre only pitching for an inning or two so they can go all out. Fuck that, Ohtani only has to pitch to a single batter and doesnt even need to worry about walking or beaning you.
  • You still have to get it past fielders.
  • You vastly underestimate how hard it is to hit a pitch in the high 90s/low 100s. My older brother was a pitcher from when he was 10 or so throughout college and could throw around the mid-high 80s. I tried batting against him after watching one of his games in college and could barely see the ball as it sped by, and I guarantee he was holding back to make absolutely sure he didnt hit me. Add 20 mph from a pitcher who isnt afraid of the inside of the plate and Id be terrified.
tl;dr
Baseball is awful unless retooled. Hoping Curry misses is by far the best option since he has to stay behind the arc and only gets one shot.

Just going to the batting cage and putting it on high speed should be enough to discourage most people here from thinking they can do it.

Ive played a good amount of baseball in my life. Once in my 20s, me and some friends were at a batting cage, using the machine that manually throws balls (so not the type that you insert 50 and get 15 swings, but a machine where we were manually placing in balls when we were ready).

They had a machine that could do low 90s, and I was shocked at how damn fast that was. Even knowing when it was coming, and where it was going, I couldnt make reliable contact. Hell, even bunting was tough.

Ohtani would be 10pm faster, and with movement. The best hitters in the world have trouble hitting him - a non-pro is relying on luck to get a hit off him.

I have serious doubts that you would be able to make contact with the ball, let alone put it fair territory and also outrun the throw to first

Odds are you would strike out by simply missing 3 bunts lol

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.


I'd start right in front of him, and quickly tap him.

I played baseball, I was the bunt king. Running to 1st would be the hardest part, but I would simply training beforehand and probably be able to do it.

Nah, if there's no rules to "how" I bring him down then... Plan A is to kick him in the balls and drag him down. Plan B is to throw dirt in his eyes and try to trip him. It's messed up, but a million dollars is a million dollars >_>

Maybe the basketball one should have been make a 3 against whoever is a really good NBA defender to balance it a bit.

And Ohtani having fielders behind him is overkill, just trying to make contact is hard enough.

Down by contact would mean you, at the very least, force him to one knee.

Even in my prime athletic years, my only chance would be if he ran straight at me and knocked me on my ass and somehow I was able to trip him up.

I played football in HS and gladly rode the bench after getting laid the fuck out by another DB in practice. Got hit so hard I couldn't see out of my right eye for like a minute and mentally called it quits there. Somewhat related, I have another "time to quit this sport it's not that serious" incident from senior year of high school on my baseball team where the third baseman took a line drive to the face

The dude who hit me was roughly the same build as me back then which was 5'10 and 165 in the best shape of my life. I would probably die if Derrick Henry was trying to run through me

If its just the two of you on the field, theres zero chance youd even be able to catch up to him, let alone catch up, and stop his momentum enough for him to fall.
