1. You are born a 6 foot 2 to 7 foot 4 male. You pick. You have the talent to be an NBA player and be considered one of the best of all time and the miraculous ability to avoid injury. You are the most popular kid in your school as a youth even if your personality is as exciting as watching paint fry. You will make hundreds of millions in salary and get a shoe deal, endorsements etc by 30. 10s of millions of dollars at 19.

2. You grow up a middle class kid. Average upbringing. You go to college. An ivy league school. You eventually get to Harvard or Yale. You start out in IB and make 200k a year in new york at 22. Your income in 6 figures until you hit your 50s. In which you become a hedge fund manager.

By the time you're in your 60s/70s you are worth 30 billion usd.

Which life would you choose.

Yeah but you have the option here to be born a 6 foot 2 Steph Curry type talent that's immune to injury

Shit, this reminds me of an old movie where Brandon Fraser, iirc, where wished to be a baller and he got his wish, and an attractive reporter seduced him after hitting the winning shot, only for her to walk out of the locker room laughing at his micro peen.

A SUPERHERO!!

NBA superstar easily. Especially since it mentions I will have 10s of millions of dollars by 19. That's being set for life.

Basically, I would retire after 1 year or keep playing basketball until I got bored of it (since you apparently avoid injury).

I honestly can't believe hedge fund manager is winning.

6'2" or taller is gonna be difficult to get into many cars

Plus, getting rich off other people's money is kinda fucking funny when you think about it.

I wouldn't enjoy the fame and attention that comes with being a sports star.

But I also wouldn't enjoy the being - and being surrounded by - the sort of insufferable bellend that works in finance.

Tough call.

NBA superstar without a doubt. I love playing basketball and even used to joke with my friends in my late 20s that I'm going to get in shape and head for the NBA combine. I'm 33 now though. >_> Worse shape I've been in my life lmao. Plus I'm only 5'9 and had 3 ACL surgeries already.

The guaranteed no injury part makes the NBA superstar option impossible to turn down for me. Granted, I've always been into sports and have been a gym rat for as long as I've been healthy, so I understand plenty wouldn't want to put in the work necessary.

'Cause when it comes to playing basketball
I'm always last to be picked
And in some cases never picked at all
So I just lean up on the wall
Or sit up in the bleachers with the rest of the girls
Who came to watch their man ball
Dag, y'all! I never understood, black
Why the jocks get the fly girls
And me, I get the hood rats

Being that tall does suck, but the "miraculous ability to avoid injury" makes it much more bearable. You would only be annoyed by being too big for the world. You wouldn't need to worry about the health consequences most super tall people face.
