re: What’s the dumbest thing you’ve heard a friend say they could do in the sports world?

A separate friend (who played JV HS basketball) thought he could average double digits in the NBA, with the caveat that he was the primary shot taker on the team. He’s a decent athlete but not a good basketball player or shooter, and around 5’10. He said throwing up enough shots, enough would go in. We argued that he would be guarded by the other teams best defender who would be taller, stronger, faster by a lot and wouldn’t be giving him space to throw up enough open shots for 15% or so to go in and get to double digits.
