I'd like to be a perennial 7th or 8th man off the bench in basketball. Beloved by fans, hated by no one, very well paid, maintain long career but without the media spotlight or pressure to perform :)

I love that specificity. Yeah, I could imagine loving life as a Grand Theft Alvarado type player: come in, give it my all for a few minutes, make some hustle plays and then back to the bench.

I'd like to be the Grand Theft Alvardo but of blocks instead of steals

An energetic big who blocks a couple of shots and commits a bunch of fouls, like Lakers Dwight 2.0?

Yep, like that. I'd even do the mutumbo finger wag.

Without Dwight's personal baggage of course

Tis my dream to be an NBA benchwarmer. My biggest skill will be celebrating from the bench and looking shocked when my team doesnt get the calls

It's like being a cheerleader but you get paid well!
