50% if I kick the ball
30% if I throw it

I'm from the UK :wink:

I've played basketball for exactly three hours of my life and I didn't see much of the ball when I did.

im not worth anything with basketballs. i also severely dislike that sport.

however, i guarantee an almost 100% chance that i will hinder you at throwing the ball from half-court when i get into low-kicking range. :) 110% if you let me come close enough for elbows, clinch and knees.

I suck at shooting but I can run fast as I dribble the ball and pass well.

I can throw a football about 30-35 yards at the most- I'm listing that as a fact since I love football.

pretty well, i played for my high school for two years (jv) but now just play in the intramural league, a friend got me to play with their team becuase they needed some more post players... not that it ever takes any convincing to get me to play basketball

I am terrible. I once went to a camp thing and I "improved" from beginning of the week, 0/10 free throws (that were closer than normal), to 1 or 2, than regressing to 0 later that week :)

I can not kick a ball very well. I can not shoot a basketball. I can not catch a ball well at all. I can not hit a ball with a bat at all. I can sort of dribble a ball. I am not good at sports. But I can run pretty fast.

well I can dunk, played all through hs and probably shoot 80% on FT. Close to 90 closer. And about 40 on 3's. Of course all of that is unguarded =/ Im only 6ft 3in so I missed out on playing in college.

If I attempt to make 20 shots in the same exact way I'll make around 12 of them. So that's like 60% I guess.

I am pretty high up in my shooting percent since I am the leading scorer for my Special Olympics Basketball team. I am also good on defensive with doing some NBA block shots.

The only things I'm accurate at hitting with a basketball are the rubber toe caps of my sneakers while dribbling...

Also, I'm so short I think I would need a telescope to even see the hoop.
