Ok, so the other day, i was hanging with some friends playing some 3 on 3, and I thought of BB. I realized- hey, i wonder what my BB me would be like, so I went ahead and designed this game on it.

The objective: list what your stats would be if you were a BB player, don't actually go out and find it or anything, just post the stats. Here's mine:

Jump Shot: strong (8)-- I can shoot a Jump shot to an extent, but I'm not quite at a pro level.
Jump Range: average (6)-- I'm not as good a shooter from farther out.
Outside Defense: inept (4)-- I'm not good at defense, but I'm not exactly a revolving door from beyond the arc; I can hold my own at times.
Handling: respectable (7)-- I can control the ball pretty good, but I'm not as good at controlling the ball as some.
Driving: awful (3)-- I can't drive well, I can hit a crossover once in a while though.
Passing: prolific (11)-- I can get off a pass most often.
Inside Shot: respectable (7)-- I can shoot inside better than outside, but I'm still not an inside player.
Inside Defense: pitiful (2)-- I'm a revolving door inside the paint.
Rebounding: mediocre (5)-- I can grab a rebound every now and then, but taller players will shut me down in this category.
Shot Blocking: atrocious (1)-- are you kidding me? I couldn't block a shot if they were aiming at my chest.
Stamina: proficient (9)-- I can endure probably a full game without much wear and tear; I played a full 90 minutes a few days ago.
Free Throw: mediocre (5)-- I'll sink about 55% of my free throws... next to defense, where I most want improvement.

Where I need to improve: Defense, Free Throws, Driving.
Best Characteristics: Passing, Inside Jump Shot, Stamina
Approximate BB Salary per week (using salary calculator, see end of post): $7,319
My best position: Point Guard

Jump Shot (9)- I can hit most shots inside the arc with relative consistancy
Jump Range (5)- But once i get past the arc i need to be wide open and have a lil luck
Outside D (6)- Not the strongest defender on the perimeter but i have length so im ok
Handling (5) - Years of playing center have not helped my handles at all
Driving (3)- Again center has not helped my ability to drive the ball
Passing (13)- Somehow im able to make most passes and have them reach their mark
Inside Shot (10)- Probably my strength on offense as far as attacking the basket
Inside D (12)- Im undersized for a big man but i have the positioning to cause tension inside the paint
Rebounding (11)- I have a decent vertical and an obnoxious wingspan
Shot Blocking (14)- Somehow at 6 foot im able to send or alter most shots
Stamina (7)- I can play for upwards of 3 hours a day with nothing more than a sweat stained shirt and maybe a bruise or two
Free Throw (7)- Eh 70%ish?

Areas of Improvement: Outside D, Driving, Handling...I need work on my perimeter game
Strengths: Shot Blocking, Passing, Inside D
Not totally sure how to do the salary calc so if someone could help out that would be great (I understand the calculator but idk how to put in individual skills)

Impressive Jester, but one thought on the matter.

You say play for upwards of 3 hours a day- sounds like maybe 10+ Stamina, but most certainly not just 7.

haha im lazy when i play though half the time i dont get back on offense and concentrate solely on defense

Jump Shot:7. Can hit the shots but no larry bird.
Jump Range:12 Can nail 3's all day long if given the chance
Outside Defense:4 I play the arc but not very well.
Handling:6 Doesn't come natural to me and turn it over playing against a good defender
Passing:7 when I'm not hitting I can find those who can but when I am I'm a little selfish
Driving:10 I can thread through defense well when on my game.
Inside Shot:6 If the game was without layups and the backboard than this is a 1.
Inside Defense:2 Not the most physical defender
Rebounding:4 I can get alot of long rebounds but not against the big men
Blocking:2 Reflection of ID plus my height
Stamina:9 I'm a soccerplayer by nature so fatigue is not in my dictionary
Freethrow:4 Hate the charity Strike

Jump Shot: strong (8)-- I have a surprisingly decent jump shot, but compared to others it's nothing special.
Jump Range: respectable (7)-- I'm not a great shooter anyways, but it doesn't decrease too much with distance.
Outside Defense: proficient (9)-- I for the most part am very good at outside defense.
Handling: inept (4)-- Handling's one of my weaknesses; it's passable but something I need to improve on.
Driving: pitifull (2)-- I can't drive at all.
Passing: prolific (11)-- My passes itself aren't that great, but I'm really good at finding theopen man.
Inside Shot: inept (4)-- I can make a inside shot, but I'm not a forward at all.
Inside Defense: pitiful (2)-- My size pretty much makes inside defense impossible for me.
Rebounding: mediocre (5)-- Although I'm one of the smallest, I do rebound pretty well for my size.
Shot Blocking: atrocious (1)-- No explanation needed.
Stamina: proficient (9)--I have pretty good stamina and don't have any problems with being worn out.
Free Throw: awful (3)-Shaq to a lesser extent.

ME:

JS 2 JR 2
OD 2 HA 7
DR 2 PA 7
IS 1 ID 1
RB 5 SB 3
ST 1 FT 1

Who wants me on their team?

Jump Shot Strong (8)- I have a pretty decent jump shot and can knock it down when I need to, but it is nothing near the top.
Jump Range Proficient (9)- Surprisingly I sometimes find that I get better as I move from a mid range jumper to the 3pt line.
Outside Defense Respectable (7)- Nothing to brag about, but I can hold my own on the outside and make nice defensive stops on some possessions.
Handling average (6)- i can handle the ball pretty well, but by comparison to some other people I am not a great ball handler.
Driving mediocre (5)- Not the one who usually drives in to make the play but I can take the ball to the hoop decently.
Passing Proficient (9)- I am pretty good at passing and have a habit of getting my teammates wide open lay ups.
Inside Shot Inept (4)- I can put a shot in inside, but I am not a big man and so taller players can alter my shot usually.
Inside Defense mediocre (5)- I can defend well for my position inside, but I am not one to play defense on the center.
Rebounding mediocre (5)- I can usually get in from the perimeter to grab some rebounds, but not as well as all of the forwards do since I am a guard.
Shot blocking pitiful (2)- I hardly ever get blocks, but I have found that when guards are smaller then me I can usually block them from behind.
Stamina Respectable (7)- I usually am not worn out after long minutes, but usually I do not have more energy then some other guys out there.
Free Throw average (6)- I am inconsistent from the line, but sometimes I can knock down a bunch in a row. Usually my average FT% is a little above 70.

Ha, good idea for a thread!

Jump Shot (5)- I can hit a few shots as long as I'm pretty close and not being guarded too closely...
Jump Range (1)- I don't know if I've made a 3 pointer in a game in the last 5 years haha.
Outside D (8)- I have pretty good lateral quickness and manage to stay in front of people and occasionally steal a pass.
Handling (5) - I can dribble serviceably for a taller guy as long as I'm not being pressured.
Driving (14)- I think my terrible jump shot and great driving ability kind of helped further the gap between the two in a cause/effect kind of way.
Passing (6)- I'm pretty good about looking for open teammates but dont always have the right angle/strength.
Inside Shot (12)- Can finish pretty well on driving layups as well as posting up against players who are my height or a little taller. I have a pretty nasty mini-hook shot.
Inside D (7)- I'm lanky but not too big so I can get pushed around a bit. Good shot blocker but that is a separate stat.
Rebounding (11)- I'll just copy 'IwillDominate' here. I have a crazy wingspan, position myself well and can jump a little.
Shot Blocking (13)- Definitely my strength on defense, even against taller players.
Stamina (5)- I used to be in better shape but start to get winded after a few games now.
Free Throws (3)- I've honestly gotten better but I used to throw them up and just pray to hit the rim.

Areas of Improvement: Inside shot, driving, passing, stamina. I know I'll never be a great shooter so I might well try to become even better with driving layups. Would like to become a better passer though and for stamina, guess I need to run some laps haha.
Strengths: Shot Blocking, Driving, Rebounding.
