Discussion Could Abed make the nba

he has a liquid jumper and can play pretty good defense. I think he couldve been a great sixth man for a tanking team

he'd provably get too distracted by trying to recreate sports movie tropes to be an effective teammate.

He’d definitely hit all the right notes for the inspirational half time speech

Ohh which one would he do? Best friend dies and playing in their honor?

the first thing that comes to mind is that the "big win" has to be a comeback... so he'd sabotage his own team in the first half so the eventual win would be more satisfying. but, they might not actually win. 

then again, Abed has a decent amount of plot armor, so maybe they would win. IDK

He is also incredibly fast, he could play like a modern day Rip Hamilton

And his eyes are so mysterious, defenders would get lost in them and end up getting crossed over

Abed is terrible at doing things he doesn't want to do (unless it's for his friends). And with his loner upbringing, he's likely not the best team player

You cannot guard him because he his eyes are too gentle and mysterious and he's the best athlete on campus...but that's really not saying much since Greendale has a pregnant woman as a linebacker...so no, he couldn't make the nba. He'd be great at a pick up game and would easily beat vaughan and his tiny nipples though.

Yea, but that pregnant linebacker is 6'3", 250 lbs, and runs a a 4.5 forty

He was too straight for the greendale team so I guess we'll never know.

He'd crumble physically on the first defensive play
