BEYOND THE ARC: SHOT FOR SHOT -- NBA STYLE

by Noce, Chicago Bull

My friend, and ChicagoBull partner, Dr. C and I have been sitting on this story, waiting for just the right time to bust it out. We've always thought it would be funny to compare NBA players and their personalities to shots.

It makes watching a Knicks/Heat game a little more fun when you can project David Lee's favorite shot is definitely the "Alabama Slammer". While there are some pretty easy ones (AK47 - Sasha Vodka), there also could be creative and sometimes downright nasty shots.

You could even make a little game of it and watch your favorite player and do his signature shot every time he makes a basket (or in Kirk Hinrich's case every time he commits a bad foul down some Jim Beam).

Here's what we have gathered so far:

"AFTER-BIRTH" - CHRIS KAMAN

- Seriously, is he the missing link or what?

INGREDIENTS:
Dash lime cordial
25ml Bailey's Irish Cream
25ml vodka
Mix Vodka and Dash of lime in a 50ml shot glass (Make sure they are both well mixed) Gently top up with Baileys - Do Not try to float the Bailey's, simply pour gently. The ingredients will swirl round in the glass but will stay separate. Very similar to Slippery Nipple except the Bailey's is not floated, the added lime changes the taste and also makes the Baileys feel more solid in your mouth. Very strange sensation as you swallow, but excellent drink.

RED HEADED SLUT - BRIAN SCALABRINE

- (SEE PICTURE)

INGREDIENTS:
jagermeister
peach schnapps (archers)
cranberry juice
shake with ice than strain into shot glass
Taste great, real easy 2 make and drink

JAGERBOMB - ANDRES NOCIONI

- Provides instant energy

- After 4 or 5, will make you flop on your back attempting to take a charge

- Immediately prompts violent fist pumps

INGREDIENTS:
1 can red bull
3-4 ounces Jagermeister
pour the Jager into a glass, add the red bull, and slam that tasty shit

BUTTERY NIPPLE - KOBE BRYANT

- Good, but girly in every way

- Has been known to help seduce hotel waitresses

INGREDIENTS:
25ml Bailey's Irish Cream
25ml Butterscotch Liqueur
Pour Butterscotch Liqueur into a double shot glass and float the Baileys on top.
like slippery nipple but better!

GOLDSCHLAGER (STEVE FRANCIS)

- Seems like the right idea at the time but always gets ugly in the end

SAKE (YAO)

- Will cause to run really slow up and down the court with little to no coordination

JAMISON (KEVIN GARNETT)

- Smooth, quick and always fucks up your inside

ALIEN CUMSHOT (SAM CASSELL)

- Need I say more?

INGREDIENTS:
1.5 oz. creme de menthe
.5 oz Bailey's Irish Cream
Pour 1.5 oz. Creme de Menthe into tall shot glass. Add Bailey's slowly as to make sure the two don't mix. The Bailey's will sink and float like a lava lamp.
