Who would win in a 7-game series between the 12 best college players (playing normally with both hands) vs. a team of either 12 best or 12 worst NBA players playing with their non-dominant hand tied behind their back? What if instead of their dominant hand they could only use their non-dominant hand? Which 12 NBA players would you choose to play in that 7-game series?
EDIT:
Following the shellacking my basketball IQ took

, I decided to change the poll and the topic to the question what's the worst level of opponents 12 best NBA players WOULD still beat in a 7-game series even with one hand tied behind the back at all times. Hopefully that's a better and more interesting topic

Not sure where to put WNBA in terms of strength, but considering an U-15 US team of boys beat the women's senior national team (
https://www.cbssports.com/soccer/news/a-dallas-fc-under-15-boys-squad-beat-the-u-s-womens-national-team-in-a-scrimmage/), I put them below high-school level.

I think 12 best college players beat 12 worst NBA players just in a normal game. NBA always have at least 12 players at any time who will play in Taiwan in 2 years or something like that.
12 Best NBA players with one hand, probably college players, it is just so hard to play with one hand.

Playing with one hand is some special olympic stuff. All the dribble moves will disappear and shooting becomes wacky. The college players would win no doubt

Lol, one hand, who is winning playing with one hand? They all have to somehow learn to get into their shooting motion with one hand and can't do any change of direction that involves changing hands, and they are going to win a game?

I'm not sure the 12 best NBA players with 1 hand tied behind their back can beat a team of high schoolers. You realize this affects not only dribbling and shooting but defense as well, since having their left hand tied behind their back means its a layup line on the strong side for other team.

If I eat myself, will I become twice as big or completely dissappear?
Is it weird that my dog likes to watch me poop?
Have the Chinese really invented a cookie that can predict the future?
So many possible questions that would have made more sense to ask than the one you decided to start a thread with.

this is dumb. Just let them play basketball with no gimmicks like arms tied up anywhere, etc. It's just sports.

Honestly, if the hand is not tied and the best NBA players can only shoot with their non-dominant hand, I think the NBA players are winning due to far superior defense and scoring enough at the rim. Most of them can finish great with their non-dominant hand and I think the college kids are getting overpowered inside.

During some time I thought about creating a topic named..."Would you beat a professional player if he played in high heels?"
But this is clearly worst.

So they'd be forced to play with one hand throughout the entire game while also having their agility be extremely hindered too? Yeah, no chance in hell they're winning
