    For some reasons this weird thought always comes to my mind. Imagine we have a player who has super-human ability. He is so good that no one in the League can compete with him. He sinks every single field goal. He blocks every shot. He gets all the rebounds. His team wins every single game. Everyone knows he's going to score over 100 points, grab 50 rebounds, blocks 25 shots and his team wins by 50 points in every game. Gradually, fans lose interest in the game because the outcome is getting so predictible. No one would watch the game any more. What do you think the League would do with it? Are they going to let this super-human player keep playing?

    what the fuuuu...... um. i gues i'll answer you. I think that kinda **** would never happen. But if it did, they would kick him out most likley. They will make him some street ball legend. Or he can be in some dunk contest.

    Man game shark is for video games, keep them out of reality:) :D ;)

    They would take what he does best and make it illegal. Case in point! The NCAA outlawing the dunk shot during the Lew Alcinder era.

    The only player in my opinion who remotely resembled a super-human scorer and rebounder was Wilt Chamberlain. But no matter how good a player is individually he can't win it on his own.
    That's why Wilt didn't win like Russell.
    If a super all round ability player existed who won every match for his team he would be promoted by the league initially but then he would probably be told to modify his game or quit in the interest of the sport.

    I think a guy like that would burn out 5 years through the league. If he plays in some international competitions along with the finals then that's a short time for him to rest. Wilt played in an era where there were less players who trained under professional trainers. It was less physical and the defense wasn't as gimmicky or sophisticated.

    All those blocks and boards would take its toll on the feet and back of a player tall enough to do those jobs freakishly well.

    Plus, he'd probably be a jerk with an gigantic ego. His teammates would try to freeze him out or lose on purpose to get traded. It would probably be him and 11 YMCA players, and whatever team he's on would still be over the cap.

    I have no idea.

    But it's a fun question if you think about it.

    I think Stern would figure some way of selling his ass playing for the Bulls in a #23 jersey or something along those lines.

    Youre describing Michael J Fox in Teen Wolf.

    Yes, sadly, this is the exact reason I decided not to play in the NBA... my love for the game prevented me.

    Scott already proved that the Beavers could win without "the wolf. The song "Win In the End" blared as the Beavers made a miraculous comeback, and won on Scott's two final free throws (he jumps on his FTs).

    But of course the Teen Wolf got more teen tail than M.J.F. did while in his bland "good guy" character... (out-takes never lie...!!)
