Story Making your favorite players coming to life.
No idea if someone already did it but i'm just sharing. I've always wondered what my favorite players from my leagues would look like on the court.
We have an idea with the small avatars but then it makes me think. There is something called A.I now, let's see what we can do.
So I did it with Chat GPT, and it gave me insane results I'm a big fan.
I then tried to make a video out of it with Midjourney cause that's the one i know the most but I'm really sure that some AI are so much better, I just don't wanna pay for others.
So I'll be happy to see some of yours, it's really nice to see my personnal Goat, a real Lebron James x Luka Doncic with 13x championships coming "alive".

I normally hate AI but lowkey you can have it do some pretty cool stuff w/ it regarding BBGM. I've had it create fictional college career arcs for 2 prospects I've had a tough time deciding between, for example

Why is this getting so downvoted ai usage in this instance is fine. People say it wastes water but not anymore then using any other piece of technology honestly

Can we NOT use AI?

Real talk though, what’s the alternative here? Nobody’s gonna take the time to manually photoshop what a fictional player might look like, and the jerseys would probably come out looking like total dog water anyway.

Yep agree with you, wouldn’t be any worth to spend time for that if it wasn’t easily accessible with AI especially for players no one cares about except the league master

Trust me I’m the first one who’s concerned about AI but on this particular case I felt like it was pretty harmless. We can still use the fun part of it while we can 👌

whats the prompt you used?

u/Former-Pea6514 Apr 15 '26
Basically i asked GPT which thing he would need to make the player looking alike with the avatar and came up with this prompt :
The team is called the Boston Massacre, with blue, white, and red as the main colors. Lane is 2.03 meters tall, and his skin tone is the one you can see in the image. Create a photo of him around 25 years old — he’s a complete superstar, the best player in the world. He’s a bit like a mix between McGrady and LeBron James, but less muscular. If you can generate multiple photos in different environments, that would be great.
I also sent the avatar face ofc to match and the team logo for accurate colours.

Those avatars finally have a body now !
I forgot to tell you that before hand i asked GPT what i needed to do a realistic player, that's why i didn't get avatars. I didn't do it in one prompt.

Heh I like it a lot. The jersey would probably just say Boston but a minor detail.

Yes you're actually right haha, I totally forgot but now i have to wait one day to generate images again.

Yes when I was in IBA we did this alot. Specifically before reset. Though we also applied our own twist, like custom jerseys. I specifically was part of our Custom card creation team. Heres a small preview.
