Well Rafer Alston I guess but no. None of them would stand a chance. In the NBA you have to play defense and don't think any of the and1 guys are ready for such a task. And also pretty much all of their moves would be considered travels or double dribbles.

Alston is the exception because he ended up going to college and refining his game to organized basketball.

almost all nba perimeter players do it anyway, palming the ball and such.

Aaron Owens (AO) can play solid basketball as well as doing the circus stuff.

AO was the first to come to mind

Personally I'd take Tyrone Evans (Alimoe) over AO, but I haven't watched And 1 for a while. Last time I watched it, Alimoe looked by far as the best regular basketball player among the crew with his iso mid range game.

He looks normal,even fit in the street videos, but you can tell that he clearly is scrawny when compared to NBA players. Heh just A thought.

Those guys are good at what they do. But they are too small, too weak, and for the most part too slow to play in the NBA. Some of those guys were big time players at one point in college, I can't believe Kenny Brunner is on there.
