Pelicans could get GOAT for $1M/year

[koberulz]

...$1M /year for life, that is:

How would you like a 1 mill a year superstar better than kd lebron James Mj kobie bryant. I am serious Im top notch. I haven’t played in 5 years and can do it all. Need to practice I am rusty. I am 6’3″ to 6’5″ can do shot’s block post pass defend rebound steal run do it all. Come get in touch Ill be top of the nba in two years. Im (redacted) want only 1 mill for life a year. At least come get me trian me one year. Phone (redacted) (illegible) (redacted). I’m what you need for total success. I play hurt sick and still win. See ya

Sounds like a bargain.

This is a steal!

[shadowgrin]

Almost gave me a heart attack, I thought the title was referring to Kobe being amnestied and going to the Pelicans.

[Andrew]

Believe it or not, team receives letters like that about once a year (OK, maybe not as over-the-top). Just never thought to tweet pic before

I can definitely believe it. Somehow I doubt that anyone has ever made it to the league that way but hey, maybe this guy can be the first.

[_Steve_]

No, he won't be.

[Andrew]

I know, but just humour him.

I wonder how serious that letter (and the many others like it) actually are, though. I assume some must be, but others are probably just written for a laugh.

[Patr1ck]

He's probably the best ever but stupid as fuck. Give him a shot.

I don't think it's possible to fake that level of stupid.

[NovU]

There are some people who really believe they are good enough to play for the league. I mean if I was foot taller, I'd probably toying with LBJ and Kobe.

[_Steve_]

I agree with NovU. If I were just about 5 inches taller, 50 pounds heavier, much more athletic, 10 years younger and had a decent mid range/ 3pt shot, I were in the NBA too.

[shadowgrin]

If I'm taller than 6'2 and shoot more than 80% of my FTs I'd be in the NBA too.

[Patr1ck]

I seven feet? I best player evar.

[rise]

If there's an NBA scout who's kinda dyslexic and reads my height as 7'5 instead of 5'7 I bet I could make it. Also I make 3s and pass a lot. How many 7'5 guys do you know that make 3s and pass a lot? I could probably be a taller/shorter Jose Calderon.

[_Steve_]

It would make sense to form a NLSC expansion team. But where should it be based?

[Andrew]

I guess Seattle has first dibs.

[_Steve_]

Seattle SuperSuckers, I like the sound of it.

[Bella]

They'll also be the first team that a girl has played for

[NovU]

How are you doing?

Didn't know we had a female member in our forum. Respect Level Up +1

[Stress Fracture]

NBA Live 2005 had a female patcher back then.
