How many points could u score in an NBA game?

[Tomjas]

A few years ago, Piers Morgan criticised the English cricket team and claimed that he could do better against the Australians

At the time, Morgan was still playing club cricket in England

A retired fellow commentator proved otherwise

Watch on YouTube

!!!!

It doesn't matter the sport, there's always a blowhard that thinks that they can hack it versus dudes that are on a pro level.

Only cost him a broken rib & scorn from the global cricket community

Mind you, any publicity is good publicity where Morgan is concerned so he probably feels like he came out ahead

I’d score atleast 10 points. I’m a decent ball-handler, great off the ball, good shooter, good touch, physically strong & very fast in transition.

I could get some openings here or there throughout a 48 minute game.

I’d get destroyed on defense though. Only about 5’11 but still 200lbs at 23 yrs old. Still in my athletic prime.

The people who absolutely suck or never played sports competitively can speak for themselves.

you play D1 NCAA?
Otherwise you are completely delusional

Lmao. Dude it’s basketball. The question is “how many can I score if I play all 48 mins?”

Not “How many times could you score on Rudy Gobert or blow by Paul George for a layup?”

Just because I don’t think I’d be completely shut out & score 0 points doesn’t mean I’m delusional. It means I’m confident unlike a lot of losers around here.

Some of saying you couldn’t get ONE backdoor cut, a fast break layup or hit an open 3 are actually pretty sad tbh.

Not going to happen

If you were capable of scoring 10 points in a genuine NBA game, you’d be playing professionally somewhere

FWIW, Jimmer averaged 6 ppg in the NBA

I never said anything about averaging anything.

I said I COULD score 10 points in an nba game. But let’s throw that number out if it makes you feel better. I’m not uncoordinated, I’m not slow, I’m not a couch potato like most of the people here.

I’ve been playing basketball in some capacity for atleast 10 years. I don’t need NBA-level skills just to score in a game. At the end of the day, it’s still basketball. Saying you’d score 0 points tells me a lot. Speak for yourself.

[infinite11285]

Played against a good number of guys who made the league in college; 9-15 ppg a game (slightly under my college avg).

I played professional sport (not basketball) and know how top pros think

They have massive egos as well as simply ridiculous levels of talent & physical advantages

You’d be buried loooong before you got to 10 points as any more than a couple of wide open baskets would be an insult to them

Then you have to factor in the pressure of the occasion

You’d have ZERO chance of getting 10 points in a real game

[CeltsFlow]

If Matthew Dellavedova can score 10-15 points in a game I can score 5+ off the bench I can guarantee that.

Think about some of the Amatuers who are in the bench rotations. Yeah you ain't scoring against starting caliber players but Andrew Bogut isn't that good in the NBL full of ok Australian basketballers and was a No.1 pick who was a legit DPOY candidate in the NBA who could score 10-15 with ease.

Those "amateurs" would wipe the floor with the average RealGMer ten times over, especially if they're in the rotation for a goddamn NBA team. This is irrational confidence if I've ever seen it

[CeltsFlow]

Maybe if I embellish some contact from a defender when my team's in the bonus, I could score off the impending FTs, but even that's not a given.

Certainly 0 otherwise unless I cherry pick or I get a pity basket in garbage time.

[RCM88x]

If I played 1000 games I'd maybe score 3. One in a thousand chance I'd be left open in the corner and actually get passed to and actually make the shot. That's being optimistic though.

ok, so im guessing you never even played college basketball in any capacity given your response to my question.

Delusional rec-league guys, gotta love them. I've played against a lot of the Aussies in the NBA, there is a difference between thinking you could get a bucket or 2 and claiming you would score double figures

[Jakay]

I think even getting a shot off towards the rim would be difficult tbh. Like at 6'2" I'd still be short on the court, and terrible handles by PG standards, okay at jumping... drawing iron would be a small victory.

Like not getting stripped in the middle of a move would be neat too.

[Mulhollanddrive]

My peak was as a 10 year old never missing in layup drills so maybe I would have gotten one.

Sort of like wondering how many Larry Bird would get.

It’s hilarious

There’s a reason why these guys get paid millions of $ per year and it’s not because they would let some random, relatively short & untalented bloke score 10 points

[laika]

I think people are being a little too pessimistic here. Yes, NBA players are really good. But they're not superhuman. You can only close out so quickly.
Let's assume the best case scenario. Playing on the Warriors with Curry/Durant/Klay in the game. The rational strategy is to leave you wiiiidde open. The Warriors are really good at swinging it to the open man.
I can hit NBA threes at a reasonable rate. I probably could hit a couple assuming that I had the ultimate green light and the other players were willing to pretend I was a real player and pass it to me.
Defensively and anything after the first 15 minutes would be brutal though.

[PKABOOICU]

I could probably get anywhere between 5-12 points. Mostly long 2s or 3s if Im wide open.

[Tennis19]

if i played 48 min on the rockets and put up 20 3s in a game. i should be able to make 2 or 3. if my defender never leaves me ill score 0.

[HeartBreakKid]

There are a lot of players in the NBA who can't get 10 points at will, lol at that guy saying he'd drop 10 points.

Unless you played pro ball, high level D1 ball or you were an elite athlete in another sport (even less likely than the former 2, and not all sports translate) - the idea that you're gonna get 3 or more buckets is far fetched.

That’s cool. Forget about the 10 points. I don’t care about that.

I’m simply saying that I’m gonna score more than 0 baskets while playing all 48 mins. Or maybe you haven’t actually read the entirety of my posts.

Anybody who believes they’d score 0 can speak for themselves.

[Antinomy]

Lol at the dudes calling others ‘delusional’ because they’re not a fat, unconfident, unathletic, unskilled & uncoordinated couch potato like the person they see in the mirror.
