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.

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.
