would ya'll pay 10k if you were guaranteed 15 mins in a NBA game?

[unit321]

The minimum wage for NBA Players is over $470,000, along with every player getting $120 a day per diem for every day they are on the road during the season.

If 10k is the buy in, I'm down....per diem alone would recoup that.

Uh, did you read the original post. You are paying $10,000 to play for 15 minutes. You aren't getting paid, you aren't getting per diem. You are losing money in lieu of 15 minutes of fame.

It's for one game, not the entire season.And I'm assuming the OP meant a home game, so you wouldn't recoup shyt.

I can see this being a possible PR stunt if a crappy team needed cash and they could entice suckers to "pay to play". There are no NBA team that are that hard up for cash.

I mean, people pay thousands of dollars to play in Fantasy Rock n Roll camp with old rock stars. Also there are Fantasy hockey camps where you get to play with ex-NHLers. Even Russia let millionaires fly in a rocket to space for the right price. So, there are people with disposible income to spend it on dumb stuff. And, if a team wants to sell out, then that's their business. I'm sure there are labor contracts that would prevent this '15 minutes for zero pay' contracts, because you are eating into a professional player's possible earnings.

In the NHL, they have emergency contracts where they can sign an amateur off the street as a backup goalie. It has happened but it is rare. They don't get ice time. But they get a jersey and get to sit on the bench. What were the circumstances? Teams usually have two goalies minimum. One happens to get injured or is sick on game day. The team usually gets someone up from the minors; but if they are too far away to fly to make it to game time, then, they need to find someone to play because if your one goalie gets injured, they have to forfeit the game, literally. So, they scour the local amateur teams and schools for a goalie (just in case he really needs to fill in). Sometimes, they'll let a teammate who is a player fill in as a goalie, but that's rare.

Hell no.


The fall and pretend you're injured when you get dressed down trick wouldn't work, trainers would be like


You see players on TV thinking shyt is sweet until you meet a few cats around your actual size in real life. I'm 6'7 which is "regular joe tall". Not "NBA tall" I'm not trying to pay then be food




-P-

 

[rapbeats]

No, I wouldn't.

I get this feeling that the 15 minutes would be your claim to fame. "Hey, I played in an NBA game!" You are probably a big NBA fan and love the game, so it would almost be like a musician playing on stage with his favorite music band for a song.

I mean, in reality, the other four team members could just pass the ball to each other and leave you out. The only time you might see action is on defense or if you pick up a rebound by accident.
Good-bye $10,000...

i would poke the ball loose in the passing lane. or catch a big man slipping and sneak in for the double team steal from his blindside.

real simple play to get me off the right way. i'll pass it to kobe. set a screen for him. watch the 2 defenders jump him. yell "KOBE" he hits with with the behind the back. i pull up. the announcer "RAAPPPPPBEATS for TWO"

i'm real grown, and i 've played ball all my life. i'm 6'2. so the height aint scarying me. played with nba players before, ex nba dudes, D-1 ballers, highschool all americans, etc, etc. i'm from L.A. i've played the best of the best for years on the playground, in the gym. i never SUCKED doing it. so even though i'm old as dirt now and out of shape. i'm still to savvy to go scoreless and not have anything in a good stat column.

i guarantee you.

I would have 4 rebs, a steal, 2 assists, and a couple of points. in limited mins.

its just a round ball 2 baskets and a 10 foot rim. i would call for screens if i had the ball like the rest of these dudes. the heat can try to trap me all they want. i dont scare easily so i would throw the ball backwards thru my legs to split the double team. get the "OOOOOOO" from the crowd, then throw the lob to dwight. then pose

[who_better_than_me]

If i had it like that financially, hell yeah. I be a heistbox. I 'd be worst than Kobe. better think twice before you pass me the ball.I'm 6'1 with shoes, 175 and in the best shape of my life. 15 minutes a game aint going wear and tear me.

Thats a dream to play in the league. I aint got no worries about the pg's of this generation. Now if that was Francis, GP, or BDiddy i was going against

Okay, so you are a good basketball player, BUT, not good enough to be in the NBA. I see this fantasy of yours trying to pay your way into the NBA to prove yourself. Seriously, you probably aren't even good enough for pro Chinese leagues or even semi-pro Domincan Republic league.
You can always give the bikini basketball league a try.

AGAIN, give me 15 mins and a ball on any court. i'm getting a few points, a few boards, a couple of steals, a couple of assists. its a round ball, on a 10 foot rim. nothing has changed. i've played the game my entire life. if i cant get by rondo. i'm calling for some big man to set me a screen, rondo will of course go under the screen ASSUMING i cant shoot. mistake. FOR THREEEEE.
