After ending my college career at UGA by QB'ing my team to the national title, then coming off the bench to hit a game winning 3 as a SG in the basketball national championship game, then capping that off later in the summer by hitting a walk off grand slam in the CWS.......

I would do the exact same thing (minus the football) with the Braves and Hawks, then retire to the golf course and make millions for about 5 years, then retire.

I'd go basketball, although football is my favorite sport.
To take it further, if hypothetically speaking, I'd be a superstar. The reason for that is I'm white, and there's really no superstar white players, other than Kevin Love. My size would put me at a point guard. Me being a big time point guard and white would bring a lot of attention and endorsements. Not meant to sound racist, just stating that it would get the most attention.

Other than that; Being a quarterback in the NFL would be incredible.

I am going to go with everyone else and say Golf, but being an elite NFL QB would be nice.

I have a tie for 1st place.

Any position for the Red Wings, or a Striker in soccer.


This exactly then golf.

Being an MVP-caliber goalie for the wings and leading them to the cup would make Hockeytown remember you as a hero. And it'd be extremely badass to be an American-born striker over in Europe being one of the best players alive.

I really enjoy being a prop during the game. I just hate it the day after.

Why does everyone want to be a long snapper/ punter/ middle reliever/ back up QB?!?!??

You have the chance to be an elite player, and people want to collect $2M/yr to be an afterthought?!?! Way to shoot for the stars

As a chick my options are rather limited

I'm torn between golf and basketball. Go pro in golf, make a shite ton of money, and play in my own country but I'm not a big golf person. Go pro in basketball (as a guard) and if I'm a top pro I make some okay money (unless I go overseas where they love the shite out of some women's basketball), but I get to play in some NBA arenas.

Probably basketball because I'd want a shot at being an Olympian. That'd be cool as shite. And would want to play for the Atlanta Dream or Los Angeles Sparks.
