ESPN is running a promotion (along with mobile TV-provider, MobiTV) where the winner of the contest will play 3-on-3 against Ron Artest, Nate Robinson and Joakim Noah on ESPN's campus. No, the winner won't play all three by themselves, but with two friends.
As if that'll matter.
You could bring ten friends and still get slaughtered. Artest would smirk, lay the ball up as you and four of your friends were holding tight onto his waist while Noah and Robinson were hitting on interns.
This is all assuming they would compete seriously, which in all likelihood won't happen. They'll likely be playing in baggy jeans, a baseball cap, and a smile.
On a more serious note, it seems like a pretty neat prize to be able to play against professional basketball players, if for no other reason to find out how badly you suck. The good news is that ESPN is paying for you and your two friends to fly out to ESPN headquarters in Bristol, Connecticut for free. In addition to harassing pro ballers, you'll get a tour of the ESPN studio, an interview on ESPN radio and some really sweet ESPN booty (which I might add sounds better than the 3-on-3 game).
The official contest site isn't the prettiest website on earth, but check it out and if interested, enter the contest -- http://www.mobiTV.com/3on3 for your chance of having all your pro basketball dreams come true, or shattered.
