Steve Nash Free Throw Shooting Contest
The other day we hit you up with this spoof of Will Ferrell’s Step Brothers that Steve Nash and Baron Davis put together for the website IBeatYou.com. Well Nash is all over that site, constantly trying his hand at new competitions, talking smack, and then backing it up. A little while back, he added this one, seeing who could make the most free throws in a minute, titling it “Steve Nash Can’t Miss.”
And now, some Australian dude named John Rillie took up the challenge on his blog. Check out how he did.

Haha Dagomar.
Doubt Nash really cares if you beat him or not, considering he’s actually paid to do that (and he undoubtably does it well).

I find it interesting that Nash has ignored Rillie’s response to date. Any mention of it in comments under his video aren’t allowed through. Hmmm, smell the fear.
