First up was sport reporter Kyle Evans, who took on Sam Short of Ballarat Miners in a shooting challenge.
This is what Evans learned:
"As a veteran of 22 years, I didn't think there was much about the game of basketball I had left to learn.
But I was given a shooting lesson courtesy of Ballarat Miners point guard Sam Short in a display that was both jaw-dropping and embarrassing.
The young gun blitzed me in our inaugural episode.
Challenging him to a shooting contest, I quickly why learned why I shouldn't quit my day job.
It certainly didn't help that I'd been off the game for 18 months prior to our contest either."
See all the action below and stay tuned for future sports.
