I could easily last 5 minutes and not look like an idiot. I wouldn't be able to get anything going offensively and would struggle if someone played tough defense on me(luckily most in the nba lay off you). I would play off my man way more than normal but I know how to rotate and play defense as well as box out.
And believe me, I would easily get scored on and wouldn't score a point unless it was a fast break or a defensive breakdown, but playing basketball my whole life, i know how to avoid being embarrassed and looking like an idiot.

I've played basketball my whole life, still play in city leagues, and coach my son's high school team.
That being said, I don't think for a minute I could hang with the most elite basketball players in the world.
I do play pickup basketball with some of the local college players, and I can hang with them...

Im a great horse player.
Can shoot with the best of them.
Im a legit 88% free throw shooter but I would get made a fool in an NBA game.
I have a slow and low release on my shots. They would get blocked most of the time.
I cant dribble, I cant pass, and I cant play D.
But in a shooting contest I could probably compete with Larry Bird.

Speaking as If im a real nba player but having only my talent as is but the NBA thinks im just another NBA'er sure i can last 5 but if they know im 6'5 whitey from the burbs im sure il be having them lobbing ally oops or putting on dribbling displays til i do look like an idiot. I do think thought I could atleast score once somehow especially if one of the lazy 6-7 to 6-10 forwards lays off
I guess what I'm saying is play 5:00 without an average NBA player making you look foolish. I've played forever as well and am a decent role player meaning not real good at anything but decent at everything. I play D, box out, make the basic pass and hit open shots when I have them but I don't think for a second a guy like Chris "Birdman" Anderson wouldn't own me.
If you played off your man he'd hit the open jumper almost every time. If you moved up, he'd go around you and dunk on your head. You could not box out an NBA player. They would simply jump over you.
Their athleticism, I believe, is the best of the best in all sports.
Yes and No.
One thing most do not realize is their quick twitch Muscle Fiber quickness. It is unreal and that and length is what seperates them from everyone else.
2nd is their ridiculous length. No one on here would dare drive on anyone in the NBA as shot would never get close to rim and would get swallowed in mid air
Yes
Assuming they are not playing much defense and you are coming off a solid screen with a quick release, could prob. get a shot off.
The NBA "types" are suckers for pump fakes because they would love to swat you into the 18th row.
Biggest problem average guy would have is they would basically be completely outmatched if NBA's drove on you, but in 5 minutes of a game, you could foul them to save some time. Then maybe you get lucky and they use their poor impulse control to swing at you and next thing you know u are at the line for a tech.
I am 6'5". Average size of NBA shoting guard and have played with eventual NBA players when they were in high school.

Thats the best part of boxing out-they will have to go over the back to get the rebound. And yea they could hit the open jumper but I'm taking that risk and hoping they miss. They would blow by me everytime if I tried to play them tight. I do have a pretty unstoppable left handed jump hook so I think I could score off that if I played the entire game.
Being the size 6'5 220 i could handle most of their athleticsm i mean any guard or athlete would still make me look silly but a guy like reggie evans, boozer who arnt that much bigger 6'8 6'9 id have a chance because there not overwhelmingly quick i could match up with and i would guess be able to move around on O and shoot some 3's or off balance jumpers etc
Most of all i think i could score because I have some great fakes and pivots where i think they would fall far because they want to swat me into the noise bleeds
