This one’s an oldie but goodie.
In 2015, comedian Andrew Schulz and former Duke standout Jay Williams agreed to a game of one-on-one, each putting $500 on the line with the winner taking home both sums. To even the playing field, Schulz was awarded a head start: he began with six points in a game to seven.
Charlamagne the God and ESPN’s Amin Elhassan MC’d the showdown, standing behind a folding table with mics set in front of the duo and the clearly-makeshift attempt at a trophy between them, awaiting its hero.
If you want high-intensity basketball with more hand checks than a grocery self-checkout mixed with comedic relief, fit with an odd collection of people who don’t seem to belong awkwardly loitering along the sidelines, this is the video for you.
I won’t ruin the outcome for you in case you haven’t seen this before, but this is a dramatic, physical battle that came down to the line. Big shot lovers will have a field day.
