How many points could u score in an NBA game?

[HeartBreakKid]

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?

Reading comprehension must be low in supply on this thread. Lol.

Not even gonna bother with a rebuttal.

Dude, it took 8 games for Anthony Bennett to score a single field goal in the NBA. He was the best freshmen in his conference, and might have gotten even better accolades if he hadn't injured his shoulder. Anthony Bennett is taller, heavier and probably has much better reach than you. On top of that he had a professional training camp, Summer league against other pros and a full year of division one basketball prior to his NBA debut.

During that 8 game stretch he never clocked in more than 15 minutes, but for a player of his caliber to not score a fieldgoal shows that there is a really huge chasm in NBA players. Anthonny Bennett would not have to try at all to score every time in a rec league - which is probably what you play at at best.

Also, you're not going to last 48 minutes, even the best NBA players can't play 48 minutes without being dead tired - you're not going to be able to last at the level because your conditioning won't be there. Exercising every day doesn't mean you can play 48 minutes in the NBA.

The conditioning is almost a moot point because you're not lasting more than a few minutes without fouling out. Unless you're deciding not to play defense, which kind of defeats the purpose of playing in an NBA game.


That isn't even taking into account the mental aspect. You're playing in front of 15,000 people, with millions watching you on tv, millions more will clown you on social media for being bad, your teammates and coaches will be disappointed because of your performance (NBA games actually matter and have stakes unlike playing pick up ball - it isn't for fun, casual vs competitive is totally different beast you could be left wide open and not make the same shots you normally would in an empty gym).

haha man WNBAers would wreck every dude in this thread talking this nonsense. oh my god this is the best thread I've ever seen on the general board

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.

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.
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.

It is pretty weird to me that there are oblivious people when events like this occured to prove the athletic advantages men have over women:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_the_Sexes_(tennis)#1998:_Karsten_Braasch_vs._the_Williams_sisters

Another event dubbed a "Battle of the Sexes" took place during the 1998 Australian Open[54] between Karsten Braasch and the Williams sisters. Venus and Serena Williams had claimed that they could beat any male player ranked outside the world's top 200, so Braasch, then ranked 203rd, challenged them both. Braasch was described by one journalist as "a man whose training regime centered around a pack of cigarettes and more than a couple bottles of ice cold lager".[55][54] The matches took place on court number 12 in Melbourne Park,[56] after Braasch had finished a round of golf and two shandies. He first took on Serena and after leading 5–0, beat her 6–1. Venus then walked on court and again Braasch was victorious, this time winning 6–2.[57] Braasch said afterwards, "500 and above, no chance". He added that he had played like someone ranked 600th in order to keep the game "fun".[58] Braasch said the big difference was that men can chase down shots much easier, and that men put spin on the ball that the women can't handle. The Williams sisters adjusted their claim to beating men outside the top 350.

Imagine that, an out of shape, golf playing, beer drinking and smoking rank 200 player trashed two of the best female tennis players. Smh when people are so oblivious to athletic differences.

Do you think he could score 10 points in a HS basketball match?

HS Varsity basketball would be an issue for a lot of us here. A lot of us would look like an even dumber Julian Newman.

[bwgood77]

How has this thread gone on this long? Very few people would score a single point in a game unless the defense just didn't guard them at the 3 pt line so they could double real players. If you had any NBA defender on you, you'd be humiliated.

[durden_tyler]

0.

[Johnlac1]

Some people who think they'd find themselves open might be right but for the wrong reasons. If you were put on the floor, your defender would probably size you up as somebody not to take seriously and slough off to help out on a real NBA player.
If you should by chance be the recipient of a pass while you were "open," you would find that your defender(s) would be on you so fast you wouldn't believe it. You would not be able to get your shot off unless you took some sort of a wild hook shot while running in the opposite direction of your defender. He would probably still block your shot.
Maybe if you were standing around midcourt, you might be able to get off a relatively unmolested forty footer. You would not be able to get off a good shot.
The idea that your teammates would allow you to cherry pick while they try to guard five people is ludicrous. You couldn't guard anybody, but you would be expected to try and at least wave at your man as he zips around you like you weren't even there.
So unless someone on this forum has played college-level ball, the chances of some average fan scoring in an NBA game are close to zero.

Projection of insecurities is always an interesting thing.

You don’t believe I could score in any basketball game (not just the NBA) because.....you can’t?

Nobody here has any real insight on each other’s background. I could be an Olympic track athlete that played basketball on a Varsity level for all you know...I could literally be anything.

There are PLENTY of people who never played NBA ball or D1 college that could atleast score in an NBA game. Not saying great player or even role player, but atleast make a basket. Like are you guys slow mentally or something?

There’s plenty of idiots around here who think they could run a team better than any of the current GMs, coaches or executives, discover talent better than all the scouts & evaluate players better than the former athletes. Doesn’t your same dumbass logic apply? “If you’ve never even coached a HS team, how could you run a million dollar basketball operation?”

Like I said before to many others who responded to me. Don’t compare me to yourself just because I’m not fat, uncoordinated & slow like you most likely are.

[LeStud]

Haha good way to start my day with a good laugh at some of these answers. Irrational confidence is high here.

Seriously...I wonder how many posters have actually played basketball at the collegiate level. I was pretty good in high school, and had no shortage of confidence, but boy was that a different story when I got to the next level. Got humbled real fast.

Less than 5% for sure. And the responses here are comical.

Length and speed to closeout will eliminate pretty much all potential to score unless you're 6'3" and athletic/still in great shape.

[picko]

I could score. I played high level amateurs. So I can hit an open jump shot and nail a solid percentage on FT.

Of course I could be shut down pretty easily by NBA athletes so unless they give me a wide open shot I'm not going to actually score. And realistically, why would an NBA coach even have me on the court long enough to score any points? There are some amazing basketball players who barely get to spending minutes on the court.

To be fair to you, I can tell your a hooper, you got confidence. That confidence wont get you anywhere on a basketball court with professionals, just take this L dude.
I played college, won National Championship, if I didn't turn to drugs and alcohol at a young age I might have been able to play over seas or something. 6'3 230, wet jumper, great defense, great passing, ect. I wouln''t even get a shot off in the NBA now, not even close.

If I grew out a crazy beard I think I might be able to flop around out there enough to earn a few free throws.

[MrDollarBills]

anyone that can score points in an NBA game wouldn't be sitting here on RealGM claiming that they could.

Thanks for the laughs though.
