This was an actual question I received as a participant in a NBA survey.
I am curious to know: 1) which prize would you pick 2) how you would list the prizes from most to least desirable.

The half court shot for sure.

I used to goof around and shoot them before practice, i'd have about a 25% shot at $1,000,000.

That's alot better odds than playin the lotto

[angel_luv]

The half court shot for sure.

I used to goof around and shoot them before practice, i'd have about a 50% shot at $1,000,000.

Out of all those, that is what you'd take. Wow. The one non guaranteed prize.

[Switchman]

season tickets.

[duncan228]

If I can pick which All Star I have lunch with that's the one I'd want.

Then it would be:

The season tickets
The trip to the All Star Weekend
The All Star signed jersey and ball
The trip to the Olympics
The $5,000.
The gift bag
Commisioner for a day
Half court shot

This was fun Angel.
And not as easy to pick as I first thought it would be.

It was an excellent survey question, wasn't it? I hope the NBA follows through on offering these prizes. How cool would that be!

Might be non guaranteed, but if you win it would easily be the best.

[Kori Ellis]

Season tickets or $5000 cash

You're telling me you make 1 out of every 4 half court shots you take?? Sorry dude, but I call bull on that

[Ignignokt]

Season tickets or $5000 cash

5000

Hey Angel- Where did you get the survey from? How were you asked to participate?

[angel_luv]

It is the NBA Fan Forum.

I received an e-mail invitation to join. I don't know how or if you can sign up for it otherwise.

Thanks. I'm registered there, I haven't been there in a long time. I'll go check it out.

Yea we used to screw around before practice and see who could make the most in a row. I think the most I ever had was 5. I could definately make 1 if you gave me 4 tries.

I'm also a college ball player I doubt your average fan would have that great of odds.

Tough one. Either between Season Tickets or commissioner for a day. I would choose commissioner for a day so I could force the Bulls to trade Nocioni to the Spurs for Beno and cash. Seeing the Spurs with Nocioni is more valuable than season tickets

That's only assuming the commissioner could do that sort of thing anyway >_>

[resistanze]

Lunch with an All-Star assuming he signs the jersey, hat and shoes, and picture we take together

Then the $5000 cash then the season tickets.

[B and P Cats]

I'd go to China to see the Olympics! It's probably the only chance I would ever get to go to an Olympics. Watch lots of basketball while there!

I will be Bulls GM/majority owner that same day and approve the trade.

Half court shot. I make about 1 in 6....but probably would not make it under that much pressure. Season tickets would be siiiiick.

[MrChug]

Watching other non-compe ive teams play bad basketball bore me.

I shoot pretty well from half-court but just my luck it'd be one of those " I WISH I COULD HAVE THAT ONE BACK!"

Five grand isn't that much money to me so to forego a real REAL memory would have to be a no-no.

I'd love the China thing, but as many different foreign countries I've been to I the anxiety always takes away the fun.

The rest of the stuff I could buy if I wanted to.

I HAVE been to All-Star weekend twice though and damn its an experience...

THAT or the season tickets-my 1st two pix.

The commissioner thing is a cool idea but it's not like you could say "TODAY I FORBID YOU FROM CALLING ANY FOUL ON A SPUR"...they'd probably frown on that .

[tlongII]

Season tickets as long as they're good seats.

No power, but the VIP treatment.

[Flopper]

I'll get the $5,000 cash then buy the season tickets with it, and I'll still have some spending cash left.
