To be fair, I don't know much about the NBA. I just have a hard time believing that if you could demonstrate that level of ability and somehow get noticed, which would be the hard part, that no team would give you a chance. When you consider they would get a GOAT level talent for essentially pennies, you don't think that any team, even a team that otherwise likely would never sniff a championship or a talent of that level, would not be willing to take the risk on even a one year contract?

Like, remember, this is a magical situation. So if you DID manage to get a try-out, you'd be putting up Wilt Chamberlain numbers against other elite NBA talent.

They don't do tryouts. And there are people that look phenomenal and crush NBA players and the team doesn't pick them up. They have a script they follow. That's just the way it goes. They don't pick up people off the street. You go through a long process. You have to have played somewhere. They need plenty of tape. They need coaches that they know who can vouch for you. They need youth. Endurance, development. Pedigree.

Like I said, you could make some coin on social media, if you're the type that would like to cultivate that. But a 6 foot 40 year old that plays like a basketball god would be a Streetball 30 for 30 at best.
