Re: How many points could u score in an NBA game?
if someone would play defense on me like lebron did on simmons, i might be able to hit a few 3 pointers. in the gym, nba 3 point range and beyond isn't a problem for me. everything else: no chance. zero. i'm too old, slow, non-athletic. even let's say 15, 16 yers ago, when i physically peaked (i'm like 6"1, 6"2 ish and could dunk realtively easy), i don't think i could stand any chance in a serious nba game.
realistically, if i was given the opportunity to prepare myself full time for one year (24/7 nothing but basketball and gym in an nba environment and with nba coaches) and if i was like 21 or 22 years old, i might be able to score.

Re: How many points could u score in an NBA game?
I would most likely collapse or foul out. No way someonecan play 48 minutes against NBA players.
Maybe I could make 1 corner three if I'm left alone and get to shoot up to 10 wide open attempts.
Once I make a shot I would try to foul out ASAP

Re: How many points could u score in an NBA game?
I can shoot pretty well, so I could hit a wide open three in garbage time, probably.
I'd definitely put the team in a hole if I was out there for more than 5 minutes. Unathletic 6'0'' guy who plays pickup basketball from time to time ain't cutting it on the defensive end.

How many points could u score in an NBA game?
This thread reminds me of that video where a college basketball player went up 1 on 1 with Brian scalebrene and thought he would destroy him cause he had a good size and played in college. Doesn’t take a genius to figure out he got completely owned by a nba bench warmer.
Not a single person on here would score period. Doesn’t matter if you’re 6 4 or whatever. You will not score. Even if you think you’re wide open and go for a shot an nba player will be right up on you in a split second and swat or contest that ****. This is giving the benefit of the doubt that they don’t steal the ball from you the second you touch it.
There is a reason these people are paid millions. Don’t be fooled cause they don’t look that unstoppable when playing other nba players. It’s not your local ymca basketball
As for me I would have 0 points 20 turnovers and foul out.

Re: How many points could u score in an NBA game?
Depends on whether the refs buy my flop game. Since I'd have to do that every single play I might get 1 or 2 on FTs

Well - depends if anyone here played high level NCAA ball. If they did (and are still young) they could probably wreck WNBA players.
True Story - I played volleyball at a big ten school. We didn't have varsity men's in the big ten (other than PSU) so it was club. Still pretty good as the pool of athlete talent from 30,000 kids is decent. Our women's varsity team was top 10 or 20 my freshman year. We would scrimmage them sometimes to help them practice against higher level competition.
We destroyed them horribly every single game... to the point where they had us stop hitting so hard.

Once again, I’m not saying that I’d walk on the court & start crossing up, blowing by & finishing over people. I could definitely find several openings during a game to get a basket or two. It’s still basketball at the end of the day. If I got 15-25 shot attempts, I doubt I’m gonna miss all of them simply because I know how to shoot a ball.
I realize these guys are RIDICULOUSLY good & I’d get destroyed defensively. I never argued that.
So as much work as anyone who's ever been a professional Basketball player, but You've never made it but would be better then most guys playing professionally in the world. Sure mate
Never said I was better, smarty.
But maybe you should get better at reading.
Your either implying it or oblivious to the main issue
What stops Someone like Mikhael from CSKA moscow who is a professional athlete. "(Trains 5 days a week, I know, huge! must be athletic enough to get his shot off in the NBA!) Plays basketball twice a day not being athletic enough to play in the NBA but good enough to make a living 7 months a year not being able to score 10 points in the NBA. Compared to some keyboard warrior?
If you know how to shoot a ball and can get open in an NBA paced game. Go play in the D league and send us a video. A lof of those guys can't get their shot open in the NBA. Which is why they are in the D League
Go on.

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.
You'd be the smallest person on the court almost every time you step foot on the floor, at 5'11 200lbs you'd look like Kemba Walker on the floor except you don't have a world class handle, jumpshot or elite quickness.
At your size you'd be at PG, where the average player is around 6'3, with some outliers being 6'6, good luck scoring on the bigger guards. Why don't you just go play overseas?

I could probably average 10 pts a game until they got film tape of me.

Re: How many points could u score in an NBA game?
To everyone so sure nobody could score any points, I'd get the ball and run back to my own hoop to lay it in while everyone looks on in bewilderment.
Now what?

I would probably foul out on one defensive possession, so, 0 points.

Re: How many points could u score in an NBA game?
Let's talk about those dudes they bring in from the stands during commercial break to try to win prizes. Most of them can't hit layups. I'd crush like 90% of those punks. To make no mention of those pre-teen girl comps they sometimes have. I'd be raining Js over them all day.

I score about 50 pts and get a triple double as well. Lot of high light reel dunks and 6 or 7 block shots (wink)

Re: How many points could u score in an NBA game?
That guy saying he'd drop 10 points because he goes to the gym is jokes. Like in an NBA game he's getting 10-20 FGA (unless he thinks he can do it in less than that, in which case he's basically an NBA level player and a good one at that lmao)
The guys who think they can drop buckets actually think they're going to be fed the ball like they're Michael Jordan. In a real basketball game if you have no offensive game you're not getting the ball from your teammates - and if you do you're only getting the ball in a spot you are incapable of scoring from because of defense - that's how it works against nba caliber players, some guy who works out 5 days a week thinks teams will let him get a wide open layup, lmaoooo

Many people (maybe many women) are completely unaware of the athletic gap between the sexes. The average male is about ten percent more athletic than the average female.LKN wrote:MrDollarBills wrote:JDR720 wrote:Most of us couldnt score in a WNBA game, let alone an NBA game.

That might not sound a lot to many people, but it's a huge gap.
Some years ago my old high school bb team had a horrible season. They had a few decent players, but they were horribly coached.
At the same time the girl's team (which I also watched play several times) was real good and almost won the state tourney.
Some people at work actually thought the girl's team could beat the boys. I had a tough time explaining to them that the boys would severely whip the girls in a game. They didn't believe me. The boys had a 6'6 kid who rarely played but would block a lot of shots when he did play. (The coach played a much shorter kid at center who averaged two points and one rebound a game because the kid didn't make mistakes.) The tallest girl was about 6'1 and not real athletic.
The slowest boy who got playing time was decidedly taller, faster, quicker, stronger than any of the girls. It would have been a slaughter.
Unfortunately, some idiots believe that with a little more weight training girls can compete with boys in sports where strength, speed,stamina, quickness are paramount. They can't.
