First, some back story: Gilbert Arenas has been pestering teammate DeShawn Stevenson that he'd win a three-point contest between the two even if he were shooting with one-hand from the college arc and Stevenson were using both hands from the NBA arc.

Today in practice, Stevenson agreed to give it a go, with $20,000 on the line. Dan Steinberg of the D.C. Sports Bog wrote a hilarious account of the competition this afternoon, and through the magic of the internets, we can know watch it in sweet, glorious, flash video:

Stevenson doesn't look too happy at the end, and I'm not surprised -- he's making just $932K this year, while Gil is making more than $11 million. I crunched the numbers: Stevenson losing $20,000 is like Gil losing $237,397 -- or roughly the difference between a Hyundai Accent and a Bentley.
