Everyone has a bar/arcade game they specialize in.
I once set the record on one of those speed bag/punch force games, and then got to watch a bunch of biker dudes futilely attempt to beat it. Our own Matt Clapp is a Golden Tee expert, and there’s a 99% chance he drops in one of his saved highlight videos right here:
(Editor’s Note: You’re damn right)
But if you’re a college basketball player with a 7’5″ wingspan, your game of choice seems obvious: pop-a-shot. Washington Husky (that’s the appropriate singular in this case, I’m pretty sure) forward Malik Dime (which is such a sweet name) demonstrated his prowess at Pac-12 media day:

This is the kind of thing I always want talented athletes to do. I want them to dominate bar games, pickup games, any kind of game, as I enjoy watching people of differing scales and abilities conquer things meant for the average person.
Also Malik shot 75% from the free throw line last season, so perhaps these skills translate over.
