I would be, something to tell the grandkids. My friend had that experience; played in the NFL for one season and then retired to be an accountant.

I would love to if I wasn't so unathletic. I played baseball when I was younger, but these days the only sport I could possibly see myself being good enough to play even semi-professionally is bowling. It doesn't require being really athletic, I'm fairly decent at it now, and my father (who averages over 210 and has bowled multiple 300 games) could be my coach and help me improve.

I'm 6'4" and play basketball recreationally - I just wonder what I would've been like had I taken it seriously and played for smaller leagues, HS, college, etc.

Based on my current game, I can get shots off from anywhere on the floor and I'm a pretty good defender with my long arms. I'm the guy that would block your shot, run down the floor and dunk it on the other end.

from what i have seen, anyone who can pull off long shots in basketball can get very far professionally

Nah, even if I were the athletic type, fame is definitely not for me.

No

There are none that I'd be willing to put that much time and effort into. I think you really have to love your sport to devote as much of yourself as professional athletes are expected to

Honestly, I almost kind of regret not pursuing it - if only to see how far I go.

My girlfriend is 5'10" so if we had a son, he'd be quite the phenom. I'd live vicariously through him to see how he does >_>

I'd like to try playing some real baseball. I got to try those pitching machines in Japan and loved it.

I was my high school football teams kicker. Why not? NFL vet minimum is like a million or so and kicker is by far the safest position on the field.

1. Golf
2. NBA
3. NFL (as a star quarterback)

That's how I'd rank ny list. Pro golfers are definitely lucky guys, to have such talent in a tactical sport where you can play until you're like 80, and make a shit ton of money on what amounts to a leisure activity.
