BitLife often releases new challenges for players to accomplish. The newest weekend challenge, the Mamba Challenge, has a series of steps needed to complete. You need to trash talk three or more opponents, win five or more championships, win an MVP award, then get into the basketball Hall of Fame. Before you can accomplish any of this, though, you must become a professional basketball player. By the end of this guide, you will learn important advice that you can use to achieve this first step so you can complete the Mamba Challenge in BitLife.

How to Become a Pro Basketball Player in BitLife

The most important part of becoming a pro basketball player in BitLife is being athletic enough to keep up with your teammates and opponents. Starting at around age 8, you can work on self-improvement in the Mind and Body tab in activities by going for walks every year. You will also be able to practice martial arts. Both activities will help boost your athleticism and are necessary for qualifying for the basketball team. Once you are in middle school, you will be able to go to the gym and try out for your school’s basketball team as an extracurricular activity.

Once your character is in high school or university, you can sign up for the basketball team. If your athleticism is not very high by this point, you may get rejected. If you do become accepted though, you will need to keep your performance high by practicing. By continuing to practice and staying athletic, you should eventually be promoted to team captain. Upon graduation, you will be offered an opportunity to be drafted into a professional basketball team. A contractual agreement will appear, and you can choose to accept, decline, or negotiate your payment. You are now considered a famous athlete and have completed the first step towards completing the Mamba challenge. From here onwards, you are able to complete the remaining steps by continuing to train your skills.
