What we have here is Kansas State guard Denis Clemente demonstrating his mad H-O-R-S-E skills with a shot even Larry Bird and Michael Jordan would envy. This video, which was posted in July, is finally making the blog rounds, and rightfully so. Clemente’s shot was indeed awesome. I wonder, however, how Frank Martin would feel if Clemente launched one of these during K-State’s showdown with Kansas in Manhattan — a game that will play host to ESPN’s College Gameday?
Apparently, the debut of G-E-I-C-O-H-O-R-S-E at the NBA’s All Star festivities has had some carry over to the second half of the season. At least it did for Joe Johnson. Johnson was one of the participants in the playground game, and now, he’s challenging others who have made trick-like shots. One such player, LeBron James, made a beyond half court shot the other day while he was warming up. Joe Johnson couldn’t take that sitting down. Or could he?
If we are going by the video, then yes, Johnson will take it sitting down. In fact, his challenge to James is predicated on having a seat — where he then makes a 3-point basket, essentially telling LeBron to “top that.”
