| I have a friend who thinks that he could average at least 13 points a game in the NBA. I told him he's crazy. He used to average 25 points in high school. What do you guys think your stats would be in the NBA? |

Do you know how many guys who don't make the NBA and if they played 1 on 1, that guy would be whooped 11-0?

I have a better question:
Do you guys think you could make the WNBA if you were disguised as a woman? And if so how would you compare to the other players, like would you be 11th on the bench, or average, or would you be rockin' all those ladies in your grandmama costume? |

He'd be Sasha's biatch.
C'mon, 13 PPG = a couple Mill per year. Does your friend have something better to do?
25 PPG in High School - what College did he play for? |

Uhm, how about 0/0/0:
| Quote: | McDavid, a 6-foot-6 forward, made the game look so easy at Palmetto High. He averaged almost 26 points, more than 12 rebounds and four blocks his senior season and, knowing he lacked the grades for college, felt he could match heralded high schoolers Kobe Bryant and Jermaine O'Neal in the NBA draft.
McDavid sat by his mother's phone waiting for teams to call, telling reporters back then he could play NBA shooting guard or point guard. "That's what it's about for me. ... Following my dream now, instead of a few years from now," he said in 1996.
But while Bryant and O'Neal were first-round picks, McDavid still sat at his mother's Williamston home confused and disappointed. He knew he could match up well with Bryant, now a Los Angeles Lakers' attraction, and said "the only thing O'Neal's got over me is height." |

I'd probably be no better than that guy from the NBA Life commercials challenging Kobe to a 1-on-1 game

So he thinks he could average 13 points per game in the NBA (which, if true, could earn him several million dollars) and he isn't because why? His current job is paying him several billion dollars?

| Well I know he wouldn't do (bleep) in the NBA. Some people just have big egos and like to think they're all that. I also know a guy who thinks he could play cornerback in the NFL, but thats another story. |

I don't think I could average 2 minutes a game, let alone 2 points.

Hell, I couldn't average 2 points per game when I created myself in NBA Live and played on Rookie level
