Practice makes entertainment

So Rasheed Wallace hit a crazy last-second shot from beyond halfcourt against the Nuggets the other night, to send the game to OT in a game the Pistons wound up winning.

Turns out--in contrast to Nuggets coach George Karl's calling it a "lucky shot"--that Rasheed practices this kind of thing all the time.

We forget sometimes just how good NBA players, for all their zaniness, are; the best make it look effortless, and playing against each other in gametime situations can negate their amazing skills.

But videos like this, where they're just messing around in the gym, make it easier to relate--and see how these guys are on a different planet.

Here's Gilbert Arenas, who made a $20,000 bet with DeShawn Stevenson over who could make more 3-pointers from the college line. Agent Zero won, making 73 out of 100.

One-handed.
