Would you rather be able to always make a three in basketball, or always be able to do a perfect kickflip whenever you wanted?

with basketball, you can always make a three on a basketball court, including slightly beyond the three point line to a couple feet behind it. Not half court/full court shots. Nothing else changes when it comes to your basketball ability, and if somebody blocks your shot obviously it doesnt go in, its not a magic thing that makes it still go in if its blocked.

or, be able to do a perfect kickflip 100% of the time. Youre not any better at skateboarding in any other way, but when youre on one you can do a picture perfect kickflip 100% of the time.

what do you choose?!
You could just throw the ball straight up in the air and it would never be blocked

Kickflip, absolutely.

Youre not shooting it then, youre throwing it straight up in the air
You are shooting it straight up in the air. With enough arch either no one will be able to block it or they are close enough for you to just flop and get a call.

Youd never make it in the nba because you cant defend any of the players and your shot would get blocked most of the time

There are a lot of NBA players who are basically just bodies on defense

Besides I could go to Euro leagues at least

Always make a three would be pretty cool in pick up basketball.

If you are taller than average you won't have any real problem getting a shot off, especially since you know you can't miss so you are only worrying about not getting blocked. Defense is a little more troublesome, but there are plenty of not great defenders in the league, so if you can get ok at playing your zone you are absolutely. Hell if it was somehow known you can't miss you could probably just get paid to be an end of game clutch shooter.
Do they even play defense anymore in the NBA?

Basketball I guess. If it doesn't come with any other athletic abilities, the skateboard trick is useless to me. The only time i've been on one, I immediately lost control and bailed.

I'll take the perfect kickflips.

I skated for years when I was younger and could do kickflips, but they weren't always the nicest looking kickflips.

You can just set a screen and shoot behind your man so the 3s get off without much trouble. Defense wise you just switch off and guard their worst player who probably only shoots like 40% in general and less from 3 and even if youre giving up some mid range shots you are getting a better trade in general since you legit can't miss.

With a 100% score rate you can easily make shots that are unblockable because you do not have to make shots that are even slightly realistic under poll rules: you just have to be in a specific spot on the court and how you shoot is just the "???" before the "Profit."

And someone with a 100% 3 pointer would likely be able to be able to make it into the NBA due to just how unrealistic that is. And the fact that every shot would be some sort of trick shot would be the icing on the cake as that would be highly profitable for the team.

You can literally heave full court shots

The 3 pointer easily.

Steph Curry made like 52 million this year and you would be a better version. That is just basketball salary not endorsements.

I actually played basketball all the way through school so it is a sport I actually like too so I would enjoy playing it.

I'm the same height as Curry so I'm not worried about getting my shot off. He plays mediocre defense. I could too.

This is the easiest decision ever.

Both are worthless to me at my age, but I would at least personally be able to enjoy the 3-ball from time to time.
I use Google... A lot.... >______>
If I could make a 3pt shot 100% of the time I'd declare for the NBA draft right now at 37 years old and become a star and make millions.

I'm 6'4" and played ball growing up all through grad school - I can and will get my shot off.

Uhh what? Your premise of this topic is the ability to hit 100% of your 3s. That's the ability . NBA teams would pour money hand over fist for that kind of talent.

And again, at 6'4" I would have no problems getting my shot off either off the dribble or having someone set a pick. And if you know anything about basketball, I don't even need to launch! My mere presence on the court will collapse the defense so much that multiple teammates will be wide open for easy buckets. It's next level Steph Curry.

I could use the 100% 3 point shots to win street ball games I could bet money on.

What could I use the kickflip for? To impress teenage boys? No thanks, no interest in that.
