Comments on: YouTube hoops star accepts Shaq's Twitter challenge

Bruce Manley, whose YouTube videos show him to be a basketball trick shot sensation, has reportedly accepted a Twittered H-O-R-S-E challenge from Shaq. They will, hopefully, face off in July.

Truly amazing video.

Of course, we don't know how many "takes" this went through before it was a polished YouTube product... Perhaps Manley missed more than he made.

On the other hand Shaq isn't known for his shooting percentage (once you subtract the shots in the paint.)

It will be interesting to see the outcome.

Let's see what he can do with a blocker on him?

well... i mean if the guy can do so many of those, I'm sure if he can get in control and he's setting the shots, then i think he's definitely got at least 2 letters on shaq right there. But I don't know what Shaq has up his sleave...

Those were crazy shots even it took 1000 takes.

Chris,

Very much appreciated the post. I rep Bruce Manley, also shot and edited the videos. The challenge is real, (I was sly in disguising my link to Shaq to get him to watch), the game will be in late July, if you would like specifics on the challenge, or on B.Manley, I am on facebook, and that youtube account is also mine. I also hit you up on twitter, I'm @LeftLane6_CEO on there.

Best,
Thomas Litteer

It's one thing to shoot around and make some trick shots with 1,000s of takes. It's another matter altogether to be an eventual NBA hall of famer/multiple world champion/several times MVP.

Shaq wins easily and gives the money to charity.

To win, all the kid needs to do is shoot free throws...

Totally agreed. Shaq can't shoot free throws for crap, which is unusual because he spends so much time at the line...

Though keep in mind, HORSE isn't a timed game. Manley could take his time setting up his shots, which means he wins. If he doesn't keep a cool head and plan his shots carefully, Shaq may overtake him. I would like to see this!

It will be an interesting match-up... but this kid gets to take on the winner:
