Basketball



Basketball is the sport of choice on El Gran Juego de la Oca, and it is the basis for some of the hardest stunts used on the show. Sometimes the contestant will be strapped to a windmill and must pick up a fireball when he's upside down at the bottom to shoot at a goal when he's right-side up at the top. The one time I saw this one he had to get ten in two minutes 30 seconds--he didn't even get one in until there were about 30 seconds left! Another stunt used involved actual basketballs. A contestant had to use a bungee cord and Moon Shoes to go through a styrofoam wall before shooting at a regulation goal suspended about 30 feet up in the air. A third one involved "flying" and all I remember about it is that he didn't even get one in. I have never seen a basketball stunt won on this show!
