I would flop my way to 2 point off FTs and then do Harden's stir the pot gesture.

The real question is not how many points you could score, it’s how many feet you could move before the the ball got stripped and stolen from you.

I say 1.5-2, 3 on a very lucky day.

I remember one year in NBA 2k your myplayer started out as like a 30 and could barely run.

I think I'd be worse.

0. I could play 82 games and it would be 0 for all 82. Also pretty sure I would air ball every free throw playing in front of a big crowd.

Since I'd be useless on defense, I'd just hang out at the other end of the court for 4-on-5. So hopefully I'd score a few points. :)

anyone else old enough to remember Ann Meyers getting a camp invite to Pacers? I'd have less of a chance than she did of getting a shot off that wasn't blocked and that would have been true when I was young too. unless you were a star in high school and are in the best shape of your life, the answer is zero.

None. I'd be lucky to get fouled and make 1 out of 2 free throws and call it a night.

So a good guess would be 8 points.

After saying all that I would absolutely be a huge hole for my team.


Dude, 4 for 15 is like Wiggins level good/bad.

You can't shoot like Wiggins.

Um yeah I'm scoring nada on this even if all they let me do is free throw. Especially if my teammate is Lebron and Lonzo :D

Lol, I wouldn't get a shot off. And you could hold a piece of paper with 100 on it for whoever is guarding me. I'm old.

48 mins? 6 pts/9 boards/4 assists at 6 ft. I am a rebounding god, the points would only come from offensive boards/putbacks.

Actually scratch that, I and everyone else in this thread for die of exhaustion after 5 minutes :lol:

If my team just HAD to play me for a whole game? Then I'd probably score quite a bit actually.

After getting abused on defense on practically every possession, I'd just say F it and not even bother going to that end of the floor.

Leaving me wide open for layups on the other end...

I'm young, work out regularly and I'm in amazing cardiovascular shape, I can run up and down the court for 48 minutes no problem, I'd probably beat most if not all NBA players in a marathon/long-distance run. But when it comes to basketball, they're the best of the best who've dedicated their entire life to this craft. Would be an amazing achievement to even get a shot off given how insanely quick NBA close-outs are, the defense could totally ignore me and still prevent me from getting a shot off. On defense, even the worst player in the NBA would score on me every single possession if he wanted to. Most players are also way bigger than me, but that doesn't even matter as even Isaiah would easily toy with me on both ends even though I got the size advantage.

People really underestimate how good even the worst NBA players are, the NBA is an exclusive league where only the best of the best ever get to. Replace one of the Dream Team's Starting 5 with me/random RGM poster and that team goes 0-82 in the NBA season despite having Jordan, Bird, Magic... we are unimaginable liabilities, even playing for just one quarter would be enough to singlehandedly lose our team most games.

This post is ridiculous, if u dont think prime jordan, bird, magic, and Stockton couldn't beat nba teams 4 on 5 you're crazy


Far more realistic than anyone thinking they would go for 12 and 5.

Ive played high level basketball, most players that played high level ball can get 20 in an nba game tomorrow, the question is efficiency and what else do u bring to the table, thats what separates most basketball players, scorers can always score thats why u see the flip murrays who come out of nowhere and get a green light and go nuts

I was an all-star player in HS and played ball 2 years of university ball so I think I'd be able to score a bucket or 2 off set screens. I'm being honest here, 48 minutes is getting to be on the court the entire game so as long as I get to play zero defense and all offense, I should be able to nail a 3-pointer or 2. This is assuming they have set screens for me as well so that I wouldn't have to create my own shot lol.

Realistically... 0 points, 0 rebounds, many turnovers, 1-2 assists and tons of shaqtin-a-fool content.
