How many points could u score in an NBA game?

[rapsdontlie]

I’d score atleast 10 points. I’m a decent ball-handler, great off the ball, good shooter, good touch, physically strong & very fast in transition.

I could get some openings here or there throughout a 48 minute game.

I’d get destroyed on defense though. Only about 5’11 but still 200lbs at 23 yrs old. Still in my athletic prime.

The people who absolutely suck or never played sports competitively can speak for themselves.

you play D1 NCAA?
Otherwise you are completely delusional

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.

If you're 5'11 and 200lbs, and claim that you can score at least 10 points, you would have to have elite athleticism, strength, talent, and skill to compensate for your body type.

For comparison, you're roughly around the same height as JJ Barea but 15 pounds heavier. He's been averaging a little over 10 points per game for a while now. But you see how insanely fast, quick, strong, talented, and skilled he is. If you're heavier than him, then you would have to be built like a brick and have unique Lebron-like genetics that could maintain an elite athleticism with that much muscle. Not to mention have all skill/talent to go along with it.

I mean, I haven't seen you play but if you're claiming to be able to score at least 10 points in an NBA game at 5'11 200lbs.... then you're also claiming to have some insane physical qualities, talent and skill.

Lol at these YMCA no names thinking they can seriously do anything on a NBA basketball court.

Not going to happen

If you were capable of scoring 10 points in a genuine NBA game, you’d be playing professionally somewhere

FWIW, Jimmer averaged 6 ppg in the NBA

I never said anything about averaging anything.

I said I COULD score 10 points in an nba game. But let’s throw that number out if it makes you feel better. I’m not uncoordinated, I’m not slow, I’m not a couch potato like most of the people here.

I’ve been playing basketball in some capacity for atleast 10 years. I don’t need NBA-level skills just to score in a game. At the end of the day, it’s still basketball. Saying you’d score 0 points tells me a lot. Speak for yourself.

You would be shut down bad, and stripped before you even think of putting the ball on the floor. On the other end you would be toyed with, bound to end in a few vicious poster dunks.

Pretty much this for everyone here. I was also going to add catch and shoots, with the assumption that the defense wouldn't bother to guard me, but I imagine they'd actually actually want to trap and force the ball into my hands, in which case it would be pretty easy to force a turnover.

After shot three, a dude with a seven foot wingspan just stands there and blocks your heave.

Well im 6'4 and played ball so yeah i could get 12 points, it wouldn't be efficient i might be 6 for 18 but i could score. People say its hard to score in the nba but if u have good size and skill u can score with minutes, most nba player could get 25 a night with the minutes and an ultimatum green light

Get with the real world....

Not a hope in hell anyone on this forum is scoring against nba players.

I’m actually amazed how many of you think they might actually be able to score.

[rasta_marley]

Say u suited up for your teams next game and were o
Going to play 48 minutes, how many points could u score? I think i am good for a 12 and 5rbs game for the mavs.

Have to say I'm skeptical of this. Me and a buddy and I used to ball. And kept it up for a while. We weren't bad at all and are still alright I'm 34 now and keep in good shape. Anyway maybe 3 or 4 years ago we went through a period where we were playing alot and did some tournaments and stuff. And during this time we ended up playing 2v2 with some WSU college players in a gym (just for fun something that ended up happening).

My defense is very good and is something I'm complimented on alot and can score when I want to.
(Mid range game and like to get some assists buddy has a mean 3 point shot).

We never really had a chance against these 2 college players and it was an eye opener. I mean I've played against better players but these guys were just in another level. And the gap between college and the nba is far far above and beyond that.

I mean we didnt embarrass ourselves or anything but it was quickly clear that we wouldn't be winning.

If I scored 1 basket in a nba game I'd be happy.

Rightttt because you knoe everyone on this forum, ive played against several nba players when i was young as well as played college ball so im in the the minority i guess, this is 5 on 5 not one on one, i could absolutely score maybe not 12 but even that depends on who is guarding me. This isn't some league where everyone is great lockdown defenders and monster athletes

[Lwcasu]

I’d probably try to get subbed out ASAP to limit my embarrassment on sports center, but say coach made me play I’m sure I’d get something. Since I don’t have the range everyone would leave me wide open outside and I’m sure I’d eventually hit something.

I routinely play ball with some guys who played college ball back and know one guy pretty well who played in the NBA. Guys aren’t going to play defense on you. As long as you take some wide open shots, something will drop. Most guys who go in the paint are gonna get a rude awakening.

There are dudes who are bigger, faster, and stronger than you that struggle to score 5 points a game at the pro level and you're in here talking about dropping 10 points a game

yall are funny as hell in here, seriously. There are dudes that are in the G League right now that would destroy everyone on this forum. !!!!!!!!!

[Alatan]

If it was a joke game and the other team let me shoot then sure id be able to score some points but if they were serious or god forbid decided to guard me personally then 0 unless i lucked out and an over the head full court shot made it in.

[Joel Embust]

I could score 8 to 12 points but I would give up 70 points to the guy I am guarding....so I'd be known as a "Poor Man's Melo"

You could 8 to 12 points?

[Thugger HBC]

I really don't think people truly respect NBA players if they think an average person could score in a real NBA game.

[JDR720]

Most of us couldnt score in a WNBA game, let alone an NBA game.

Ouch, that hurts! Very true, but still hurts.

[sp6r=underrated]

Lol at the dudes calling others ‘delusional’ because they’re not a fat, unconfident, unathletic, unskilled & uncoordinated couch potato like the person they see in the mirror.

It is delusional to think you could score in the NBA even if you're at the 90th percentile for athletic ability. Were you on your high school team? If not consider the following below.

There are 1.5 million young men that graduate from high school each year. Since anyone who graduated over the past 4 years could play on a current college team, this gives a pool of 6 million young men that could potentially play college basketball.

With 4,511 rosters spots from a pool of 6 million, there is a 1 in 1330 chance that a typical high school graduate plays college basketball.

That's just to play division 1 hoops. There are about 500 guys who are on an opening day roster. Even if you assume every NBA players leaves the league after 1 season (obviously not true) you still only have a .0003 chance to make the NBA. Why would you think you could score against someone who is in the .9997 percentile of what they do?

If you did play high school ball consider the following:

link

In 2017/18 550,000 people played high school basketball. Divide that by four and you get 137,500 per class.

link

Out of those of those 137,500, 4,511 play Division 1 hoops. Only 4% of high school players are good enough to make the jump to college.

Note I didn't even consider all the foreign talent.

[winstonthecat]

As a 50 year old 6'2 white guy with a deadly 15-18 foot jumper...maybe 2 points, if I get a lucky.

[dukes_wild]

I'm 5'10 145 pounds so even if I score like 4-6 points which I think I would be able to do given enough minutes I'd give up 10x as much defensively.

[Hindenburg]

Lol at these YMCA no names thinking they can seriously do anything on a NBA basketball court.

seriously, I can't tell if they're trolling or actually being serious. Each one of us on here would absolutely destroyed.

This thread is something I expected to see in the offseason peak.

[ImSlower]

Three. After I miss badly the only shots I don't get blocked, I can finally get left so open I'd hit one eventually.

Maybe5 if I also drew a charge and they were in the bonus. I'd have to shoot from a wheelchair as I would be a shattered bag of bones. So three at best, ya.
