Be given 1 million up front in an NBA game or have a chance at 20 mill if you score 15 points in an NBA game? You play all 48 minutes.

Vote and discuss....The discuss part is important!!!!!

I’ll take my million.

Didnt score 15 points in any game in HS, when I was in shape playing against teenagers. I’m not gonna score 15 in an NBA game.

But I bet I could foul out in the first quarter.

Even guys that were college athletes likely don't score 15 in a game. The general population would have little to no chance unless they hit a bunch of lucky 3's which seems extremely unlikely. I take my 1 mil and run

Depends.

Is the team I am playing for their sole mission to get me 15 points?

Or are they trying to win the game?

And do I have to run back and play defense?

I would put my 1 mil on a bet that it doesn't matter. Even if is just a normal NBA game, no particular focus on you- even if they leave you open and you hit a couple 3's, you won't get to 15 points.

15 is way too many to be tempting. Gotta make it like 6.

No one has bitten on your offer so if you want anyone to try for the $20 mil that number has to be lower

Being a degenerate gambler I’d take the mil then go bet it on myself at the 500-1 or so odds I would get for trying to score 15 pts.

I’d take the million. I was a screener and a rebounder and maxed out in 6th 7th grade basketball. I have no chance

They’d be lucky to even get off multiple threes.

How many shots are they leaving me open for?

I mean yeah, easy decision if the other team is actually guarding me.

But if my team is trying to get me looks?

Obviously going to be a blowout win for the other team. And unless they are incentivized to hold me down, could end up with a lot of garbage time early.

Just saying, 15 is a good number.

But all depends on circumstance.

Because obviously nobody here is anywhere near good enough to play in an NBA game.

No one here does. 15 points is a stupid number for this question.

6 works...I might take the chance on hitting 2 3-pointers. Even that seems unlikely in an actual game. I presume I'd be guarded and I doubt my team would pass it to me.

No it’s not likely they would like you enough to do that. Lol
