I mean, we're talking about a magical situation where you wake up and can play like the greatest player on Earth. You wouldn't be playing like someone who is good for 40, you'd be playing like someone who plays like the greatest players on Earth in their prime (at least in the scenario I'm picturing when I said it depends)

Granted, there's still a possibility you'd never be noticed, but in the age of social media and viral videos it's entirely possible.

If a team could get a player at that level for a fraction of the cost it would take to hire a well known player at that level, why wouldn't they? Assuming you ever get noticed, which would be the hitch.

Because they don't care about that if you're old and short. I kind of feel like you didn't really read what I said, or don't know the league very well. I'm not thinking about being good for my age. I'm thinking about being a phenom. But beating the brakes off of people who couldn't make it to the NBA wouldn't get someone a serious look. There are a lot of exceptionally great people that never got even a development contract. Even with God-level playing ability, no team is wasting a spot on an unproven old man. They wouldn't even waste a G-League spot for one.

Teams very much like to follow a script. Again, not a single second of organized sports throughout my upbringing would be a deal killer from jump, at my age. I could make some good social media money, I guess. But that's about it.
