simply gain possession either by defending or pressing A to receive the pass from your teamate... once you get control of the ball, head down and pop a three...DONT SHOOT ANY TWOS, LAYUPS ETC, this will null the chievo... make sure your computer controlled teamate does not score more than 50 percent of the points, it should be easy to keep him from scoring at all... easy points

Get a good 3 point shooter, I suggest the Denver Nugget's Chauncy Billups. Get your timing down on your jumpshot and just drain a three pointer (behind the arc) every time you go down to score. Should be able to pull this off in your first game. Call for a pass to keep the CPU player from scoring any (or much).

Also - if you go for a 2 point shot and miss or get blocked, this won't stuff the achievement up.

Larry Bird is a beast for this as well...very quick release, helps prevent being blocked.

Make sure you select a team with a player that has high three point ability, such as a Ray Allen or Kobe Bryant. Only take three point shots with your player and do most of the scoring with your player only to ensure you scored 50% of your team's points. If you happen to hit or take a non three point shot, then you need to quit and start over. You can do this in a Play Now Match, Classic Campaign game or Remix game. You can check your in-game stats to see if you are on track.
