Except I was responding directly to someone else, not you. I could give af whether or not you read it.

Nice attempt at being smart, ass.


I am fairly sure the “didn’t read” quote went over your head, wooosh.

If you trully didn’t care, you wouldn’t answer. It’s funny how you can get and make snarky remarks towards other posters, but when they’re directed to you, you can’t take it. Talk about a hypocrite stance... but whatever, let he thread go on, as I know I won’t be answering anymore. Feel free to have the last word on this one :)

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? :lol:

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.

Yeah but your not a varsity level basketballer, Varsity level basketball players understand the massive step from Varsity, to G league, to NBA, You have absolutely no idea. Your just "I work out 5 times a week". These dudes are on a court about 5 hours a day. I dont think you comprehend the skill jump or the athletism jump. Take the L

If you're a varsity level basketball player and Olympic runner....you'd not score in the nba. You'd be humiliated.

And as for the coaching/GM thing....well there are a lot more people who have those skills than have the athletic ability and training to be an nba player.

this. There are a lot of pro leagues in the world. If you feel you could get 5-6 points in an NBA game you would have a good of playing professionally somewhere if you were geographically mobile.

Look at a guy like Russ Smith. 30% NBA shooter. Might be able to get 10 to 15 points a game on super high volume. All-American. Short but super quick. Went to China and got 30+ points a game on an $800,000 contract.

I’m not going to doubt someone that says they’d get points in the NBA, on something like 20% from the field. I will wonder, though, why they aren’t making hundreds of thousands of dollars spending six months of the year in China, or in some other league. From my position in life that’d be too good to pass up, but I do realize others got it better than me.

Hell, even if I was a low level wizard of Wall Street type making a million or two a year I would still take that 800k contract for the life experience.

Anyone saying they will score more than a few points either played in college, overseas, or D-League.

Personally, I'll probably get shutout unlesss they give me room for a jumper because they don't respect me.
If an NBA player actually tries to defend, most here won't come close to scoring.

I play at some rec leagues where some teams act like they can compete with anybody anywhere. Meanwhile, if they stepped foot on the court with even a G-League team, there is a good chance they lose by 40-60 and leave with a tail between their legs.

I doubt we as a collective could score 5 buckets. People on realgm really forgot how hard it is to get into the NBA. And how even the scrubs are MUCH MUCH better then the guys you play at park or rec center. For example I loath David Nwuba and would trade him for snickers bar, but he would push my $h1t in the court, There may be an occasionally pair of free throws because I would imagine we are midgets compare to an average NBA athlete.

It depends on how long the coach left me in, but I think I'd go with three points. The other team would sag off of me all game and I'm bound to make one.

If they actually tried to guard me 0. If they left me open all game I could likely score 6 or something.

That dude has the Carmelo Anthony syndrome, but worse. His ego/confidence is about ten times more than his skills. Because most of us didn't play varsity level basketball in high school, by no means we're fat, uncoordinated & slow. As an experiment, go to your local college gym and see if you can rule the courts there. Again, that guy, and most of us can't.

Now I would say, some players can shoot the ball fairly well. And in an NBA game, they might leave you open at the 3 point arc. That's about the only chance you could score (besides technical free throws). By the second shot, the defense will adjust to you.

I could score a basket if my team is getting blown out by with a minute and the other team is just letting us get open shots


Other than lol it would be 0 points no matter how many shots I take .
