Back during All-Star festivities, some NBA stars were asked how many 10-year-olds it would take to beat them in a pick-up game. Almost all of them went with a pretty high number, except for one Nikola Jokic. 

Paul George: “It take a lot, probably like 20-30 kids. I’m on offense, they not getting the ball back.”

Myles Turner: “Probably like 30+ for sure. Well, I just had a bunch of 10-year-olds at my camp and I ran up that score and there was 30 of them so.”

Donovan Mitchell: “50-100, I guess.”

Jaylen Brown: “Probably like a hundred.”

Bam Adebayo: “A thousand of them… I wouldn’t say that. I feel like my class was kinda like the taller group and we kinda faded out from my class… I’d say it take about 20.”

Anthony Davis: “A million.”

Devin Booker: “There’s not an amount… They won’t get the ball.”

Nikola Jokic: “I mean, if it’s a good one. Maybe one.”

Reporter: “How many ten-year-olds would it take to beat in a game of pick-up?”

Paul George: "It'll take a lot, probably like 20–30 kids."

Nikola Jokic: “I mean, if it’s a good one. Maybe one.” 😅

Jokic was being way too humble there. There isn’t a 10-year-old in the world who has a shot at beating him in a pick-up game. As Paul George and Devin Booker pointed out, the kids would just have a really hard time even getting the ball.

At some point, though, the sheer number of kids would be a bit much to handle. It would be interesting to see something like this actually happen once, where you just keep increasing the number to see how many kids it would take to beat an NBA star.


NBA Fans Reacted To The Viral Clip

The clip went viral on social media and NBA fans hilariously reacted to it.

One said the All-Star game needs to be scraped and replaced with this.

Scrap the all star game. This sounds way more entertaining

A fan roasted Booker as he had complained about double teams in the past.

One joked that Jokic would lose on purpose in order to go home.

Jokic would probably give this kid the win so he could finish faster and get back to the horses

A fan claimed it would take 10+ kids at the least to beat an NBA star.

Having coached that specific age range at Y camps the last 2 summers. No less than double digits

Especially if we’re using 9 ft hoops like the NBA wants

One praised Jokic for being humble.

He is a humble guy ❤️

— XXLBM ☝️ (@bidsman) April 16, 2024

As one of the fans stated, this would be more entertaining than the All-Star game. It would be more intriguing to see which star can beat the most number of kids in a pick-up game than watching a glorified exhibition.

His passion for the sport was ignited after witnessing the high-octane offense of the Steve Nash-led Phoenix Suns. Among the Suns, Shawn Marion stood out to Gautam as an all-time underrated NBA player. Marion’s versatility as a defender and his rebounding prowess, despite being just 6’7”, impressed Gautam immensely. He admired Marion’s finishing ability at the rim and his shooting, despite an unconventional jump shot, believing that Marion’s skill set would have been even more appreciated in today’s NBA.This transformative experience not only deepened his love for basketball but also shaped his approach to sports writing, enabling him to connect with readers through vivid storytelling and insightful analysis.
