That 1 assist obviously when I hand the ball 1 feet away from the player.

Why are you launching up 30 FG's? Who was fouling you to get the 10 FTA, and why are you such a bad FT shooter? :lol:

I would get 0 points, and collapse from exhaustion.

If I get the calls Harden gets I'm probably good for 1 converted free throw.

Assuming I'm able to pick myself up off the floor.

I'd guess that most people on this board would not be able to play 48 minutes without lying down or passing out, let alone score a point.

I’m pretty sure I can get an assist in an NBA game if I played 20minutea. No way I’d last more than that. I’d activate Russell Westbrook mode and look for dimes like there’s a gun to my head.

This thread should have started with G-League, though my answer would still be the same for G-League.

Ecmic wrote:Defenses wouldn’t leave you open. They’d leave you open “enough” to allow you to receive the ball, and would quickly close out and pressure the hell out of you for turnovers.

Unless you have an NBA comparable gather, set, and release, and NBA release height, you’re not getting a shot off, even if your defender sags off 10 or 15 feet before you receive the ball.

Man, if NBA defenders are putting even an ounce of effort to close out on, and/or contest a super scrub that I would be at the NBA level, that's a win for me considering there are some guys in the league who they don't even both closing out on when they are open. I'll take it as respect as I brick the shot or just quickly pass it back to someone who can actually compete. I would then thank the defender for making me feel like I'm actually useful on the court.

The delusion in this thread is off the charts. No one would score a single point.

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.

I would literally be TJ McConnell minus the offense. Hyper agro on defense 8-)

According to your logic, Tim Duncan doesn't deserve any respect.

I think a friend of mine put it best. When you are young you play for 8 hours and rest for 10 minutes. When you are old you play for 10 minutes, and rest for 8 hours. Although to be honest, even 10 minutes is pushing it anymore.

Bruno Caboclo, physical tools, lacking NBA talent, and after a year in the NBA. In 15-16 when he played 35 minutes in the last game of the season, 3 pts, 1 reb, 1 ast, 1stl, 1 blk, 3 tov, 1/9 FG. That's a 6'9 guy with a ridiculous wingspan, but he was nowhere near the NBA level at that point, but still closer than all, and with NBA physical tools. Awful!

In the G-League in 14-15, 7 games, 3.4 ppg, 1.9 rpg, 29% FG, yup, take that into account when you evaluate yourself playing in an NBA game.

I'd have no problem scoring about 4 points, for the opposite team, before my coach pulled me out when he realized it was intentional after the 2nd one. It's my best shot at scoring in the NBA, I'm going to take it. With 50K people looking at me, i'd probably airball every free throw too.

Zero. Even if I was wide open and no one was within 10 feet, it would still be zero. I don't have any skills.

1. The other team's game plan has to be to leave me completely wide open and put two defenders on our best player
2. Our game plan has to be to give me the unlimited green light every time I touch the ball


If all that happens for 48 minutes, I'm confident I would end the game with 0 points

I would say 3 pts... on 1 of 4 shooting... I suspect I would get the Aminu treatment and be left alone in the corner until I hit one...

Zero. Even if I got an open layup I'm pretty sure the pressure would get me to miss.

I'm at least 2 generations away from being 2 generations away.
