Hypothetically I have a magical power to score 2 points in an NBA game at 100% rate. No more no less. Do I deserve an NBA contract and what is the salary of said contract. (alien.top)

I'm still me, 5'9, out of shape. But I discover I have this ability to score 2 points, anytime I have the ball in my hands and get get a shot off, backwards, granny style anything. It's good. Now I've had a discussion with my friends. One says I wouldn't get a contract, I believe I'm worth than minimum. I think my value would be coming into on games decided by a final possession. That should be able to shift the outcome of at least, The negatives? You may need to use fouls and timeouts to get me out of the game so I don't instantly give that 2 points back. I'm short and slow so if I have an NBA player on me I would almost assuredly be denied the ball.

So by rule you can't take a shot from beyond the 3 pt line? They'd have to run some aggressive screens to get you open and then you just have to catch it and toss it towards the basket in one motion. Some teams would take a gamble but it wouldn't last very long

he doesn't have to be open or anything. Just have their centre hold the ball and he just jump and pushes it and it will go in.

He would not even be able to reach the ball at that height, so no.

Also, that is not "in his hands"

It says 2 points at an 100% rate. In the scenario your worrying about, the refs are calling the offball foul and he’s at the line for 2 points and they both go in.

It’s worth 5 yrs/25 M imo to every contender. Probably more because if your in a clutch situation against the team that has the guy, the opposing owner is gonna wish he just paid up instead.

If OP drops all of the other weird conditions he added and just said he was guaranteed 2 points per game, no matter what, then it'd be a very slight bit more viable since he could at least chuck a three and shoot 2/3 at the line, or draw two techs or something.

In that case you could argue like, you're down 1 or 2 with .5 seconds left, you're guaranteed a win or OT because the magic would basically force them to foul him since he needs his 2.

But the condition that the magic power only activates if he actually gets the ball and gets a shot off? Complete non-starter.
