Brekyn at The Bradshaw & Dowdle Basketball Camp playing a group of kids + Dane in a game of Lightning. Shot on 7-12-12. They apparently call this game "Mad" at the camp, but the only description of the game I could find is called Lightning. The rules are below. Lightning! Lightning is a game that tests your ability to shoot a free-throw while under pressure. This game is best with three or more players, and is truly more fun with a large group. It requires two basketballs. The set-up is easy: create a free-throw line at any distance you like (the regulation free-throw line is 15 feet (180 inches) from the backboard). Line everyone up single-file just behind the line and give the first two people in line each a basketball. The first person in line takes a shot. As soon as that person releases their shot, the next person in line can take their shot. The object of the game is for the person taking the second shot to make the basket before the person in front of them. If the first person taking the shot makes their shot, they pass the ball back to the next person in line, move to the very back of the line and the game continues. If the first person misses their shot, they must rebound the shot and make a basket before they can pass it to the next player. However, if the person immediately behind them makes the shot before the first player can make a shot, the first player is out of the game. This pattern follows until all but one player is eliminated. The last player standing is the winner. Lightning is fast-paced, highly excitable and the more players you have, the more fun the game. You can also add more basketballs to increase the craziness, but generally two should do it. This is a game that tests your ability to shoot under pressure and it can leave you quite winded.
