18 years old, With no prior experience of playing organised basketball, very bad athleticism because i spent years 10-16 playing videogames 10 h a day.

 

[Deleted member 17595]

No dude NBA is absolute world champion level. Nobody in the NBA spent life in their mom's basement. They were grinding since they were 3.

im talented though. i could dunk even though my legs barely worked from sitting playing video games. Also i improved quickly easily my shooting and handles are brazy

 

[vanillaicecream]

Sure bro just be confident and believe you can do it

 

[Deleted member 17595]

point guards are 6ft1-6ft4 usually. Avg overall in the nba is 6ft6 tho

Short for a pg these days. You need double LL

I could dunk at 15. But I could no longer dunk at 16

brutal shit. Im 6ft2 barefoot. Pg would be the only viable position for me although i would need to kill myself with plyometrics its ja morant tier bounce or death. Im white sadly too

 

[cytoplasm]

how tall?

Was measured at 185 cm iirc in september 2013 and had my first dunk that month. Last dunk was april 2014 was maybe 188 at that point

“I’m way closer to Micheal Jordan than you are to me” is a quote by a C list NBA player I don’t remember

Even the worst NBA player is leagues and leagues ahead of the best pick up game player you’d find at your local park, the level of athleticism and skill you need to actually compete in the NBA can only be outshadowed if you’re an extreme outlier (like being 7’0 or sum shit like that) honestly OPs chances of getting into the NBA are nonexistent unless he has a massive growth spurt and grinds his heart out

Even still you’d have to learn EVERYTHING about the game and all the fundamentals and even then that may not be enough to get to the NBA

6'2 is a manlet height for the NBA. You are NOT going to make it at that height. Especially nowadays, they're sending scouts out to the fucking mountains in Serbia and the deepest most tribal parts of Africa to find 7 foot tall African and Slavic moggers whose hands hang down to their ankles that can dunk basketballs while standing. And you still think you have a chance? LOL.

at that height i can be one position. A 6ft9 guy they are scouting for is not gonna be a pg. The number of 7ft doesnt matter for me since i dont wanna be a center or some shit

 

[solid7/10]

Nah, like zero chance. Oldest anyone in the NBA started was 17 and their a 6'11" freak athlete who played other sports their whole life. Maybe the Euro league but top 400 in the world is ridiculously completive .

Not in the current league. It's way more competitive now.

[MrGlutton]

you can't join the NBA unless you sell yourself

it's rigged and it's not what you think it is. it's sport entertainment- not a sport.

if you want to be a legend go play street bball
