They have tryouts in Las Vegas every single year for the NBA. I think it could be pretty easy to get on the team if you woke up with GOAT abilities.

But what are the parameters? Even with GOAT abilities I'm still just a 6'0 160 lbs white guy

If you make Allen Iverson (in his prime) look slow, I'd say you have a pretty good chance of making a squad.

Basketball could also be legit. Every suburban white kid in the country would own my shoes.

You don't even have to do that. Go to UCLA in the offseason and frick up some pros when they play pickup games there.

Another route is through boxing by beating a couple middling opponents, move up to very good ones, and then challenge Mayweather to a fight and offer him 100% of the purse. Beat Money and then you could charge huge fricking purses for every fight. You would only need like 3 fights post Mayweather bout to make like $100 million.

I thought Boxing would be difficult to do, but my word this is freaking genius.

Boxing.

Go to a Floyd Mayweather press conference and call him out until he finally agrees to fight you.

Beat him.

Then challenge him to the rematch in 6 months for a 150 million purse.

How would you do this?


Baseball is the easy answer. Youd just go to an open tryout. They have them all over. They would see your talent, pitch a game or two in AAA and then get called up. Kick arse your first yr and then sign a huge contract. Once you know the fairy godmothers spell is about to wear off, you wait till the bottom of the ninth with runners on and rip down on a slider as hard as you can. You then act like you just happened to hear something snap and you ride out in the sunset after another full year of pay because in baseball youll get paid while you are hurt. And then after the 6th yr you all of a sudden retire.

Money would fight if you also subjected yourself to all his requests. His venue, all the drug testing he wants, etc.

Also, only go like 90% in your prior fights, so you look like you are marginally worse than Mayweather.

the answer is easily Golf.

5 years of winning every major?

retire with 20 major victories and signing huge endorsement deals through those 5 years?

how you could not pick Golf is beyond me.

this is a hypothetical question so in my hypothetical answer, I would have video game stats every tournament where I would blow everyone out of the water.

GOAT doesn't mean you win every major dude.
That's like saying you'd go into the MLB and bat 1.000

What would be hilarious is that 6th year here you come say 12 majors 5 fed ex cup wins all kind of big endorsements then shooting 130 in the Thursday round of the masters

Soccer. Try out for a semi pro team, ball out, sign on with an MLS club, ball out, then go overseas on loan to a smaller club, ball out, sign with large club, ball out, retire.
