Wtf...lol

Good luck..there is some crazy out there that will probably try and do it for 5 days if he has to.

[rsavaj]

lmao have fun guys

[Itmotep]

We shall see! Only 70 people were chosen at random. The sign up has been on the site for a month.

1st prize is a road trip w/ suns all expense paid, TEE HEE!

[Purple Palace]

idk..i think it'd be worth wasting a day to get everything paid for.

Win it

[Itmotep]

Will be getting paid by work too, yay!

[Miklo]

Will be getting paid by work too, yay!

lol how? using vacation?

Good luck! Just go to a happy place in your mind and get ready for a day or 2 of dribbling!

They did this at the end of the last season, they were playing a live feed of it on suns.com all day. The person who won dribbled for 15 hours without stopping. The prize is nice but not worth the pain.

[MrVince]

OMG how lucky!!! have fun.

[Frank Lee]

I dribbled one time for 2 days....


then the meds kicked in

[garrick]

I was wondering initially how one would go to the bathroom but I see that they do give you official breaks. I thought maybe you had to enter the bathroom whilst dribbling or something.

[Itmotep]

I'm in pretty good shape so I think I will be ok! I know I can last till the evening unless I bounce it off my foot or something. I just hope a bunch of non ball players are there LOL , but I highly doubt that oh well, I been playing for16 years, so . If anyone watches online I'm gonna be wearing an
orange head band and orange sweat band on my left arm

[MaryvalesFinest]

Bring a lawn chair and some shades and sit back and relax, I'm sure it's not against the rules because you can still dribble while sitting down right?

[RaisingArizona]

I'd only do it if they gave out 10,000 dollars. The team trip is cool but wouldn't be something I'd consider worth my while to win.

[Itmotep]

think the road trip is way worth it... You get to fly on their plane with them and what not, once in a lifetime. And I get to take vacation from work and get paid and just chill at the arena, so worth it.

[eastsidecrossover]

Once in a lifetime opportunity man. Win it. I would love for a shot at this, but im not sure I could last 15 hrs or so doing that. That is why I would sit once in a while, stand and dribble, walk around etc. to mix things up and so forth. Good luck and let us know how it turns out for ya.

[nevetsov]

That's awesome, good luck! Make sure you alternate left and right arms so they don't get tired

[Calvin Klein]

prepare for a sore arm.

[Miklo]

Eventually you're gonna be switching arms every 5 minutes them things are gonna burn

[impulsenine]

prepare for a sore arm.

I dunno, he might be OK: is he single?







I have no idea which one he is, but the live stream is up: http://www.nba.com/suns/fans/bounce_splash_2010.html
