A genie is going to make you the 100th best player in the world at any one sport of your choice. You'll still be you in terms of age, appearance, where you live, etc. In other words, you don't become the 100th best soccer player and also get a contract with some Premier League team. You have to figure out what to do with your newfound abilities from the starting point of your IRL.
You'll be as prone to injury and improvements or declines in your abilities as the average player in whatever sport you pick is in his rookie year in the big leagues and adjusted from there continuing through your career, adjusted for how hard you workout, how much you practice, etc.
If you pick a team sport, you can pick your position, too. E.g., if you say you want to be a pitcher, you would be the 100th best baseball player/30th best pitcher.
What sport do you pick? What do you do with your new skills?

Correct. There are 20 QBs in the top 100 of average annual value of NFL contract. So, you'd be roughly the 21st best NFL QB.
Interestingly, there are 20 QBs in the top 40 NFL contracts (from Dak at $60M AAV to Geno Smith at $25M AAV), but there are zero QBs with a salary between Geno Smith's $25M AAV and Gardiner Minshew's $12.5M, which is 189 in salary across all positions.
So, you'd be about as good as Gardiner or Geno Smith. At that point, being a back up QB might be tcr.

Finding a niche where being #100 in the world gets you the chance to sit on the bench looking good is lawyerly thinking. But what if the starter goes down and you get put into games taking multiple sacks from 300-pound dudes? Would you collect paychecks up to this point and then resign citing mental health issues?

For a scholar it wouldn't be so bad. You can just have an airpod in your ear and listen to podcasts/books on tape between relevant hands. As your wealth grew, you could play less as you'd have passive income from money in the market. It would also probably be better to just remain an unknown grinder, rather than a poker celebrity; much easier to swoop in and take chips if everybody just sees a lawfag in over his head.
This is a better life outcome than 99.99% of lawyers.

Over a long time period-- like say two weeks, which would be thousands of hands-- it would be basically impossible for the 100th best poker player to lose money. Most of the income would come from huge rushes that occur at unpredictable intervals. You have to remember that a lot of the poker money is just dumb tourist whales wasting money not knowing what they're doing.
And actually online might be even better-- you could just 10 table it and play from a locale where online poker is legal.

For those saying baseball, I don’t think you even sniff the majors as a 40+ bald lawyer, even if you suddenly wake up with Luke Raley’s (an OF with ~100th best WAR in MLB this year) skill set. What’s your plan to get there? Insist some minor league staffer watch you in a batting cage? Pay them to face a pitcher who will probably record an out against you in a simulated plate appearance? I don’t think you’d have an easy time going the NCAA route as a 40 year old with a law degree either. How do you even get on their squad? Even if you eventually convince a MLB team you’d make a decent OF, they would assume your skill set would rapidly decline due to age.
Golf is my pick, although a case could be made for soccer, as top 100 probably gets you on some sort of low level pro team pretty quickly, and you could make a case for a very high paying euro contract within a year or so.

at 40 yrs old and with a white collar background you'd need a sport where you actually stand a chance of being allowed to compete at the top. basketball, baseball, football, and soccer are out. you aren't getting onto a professional team at that age, ever.
the obvious choice is golf, because there is actually is a clear path to the PGA for a pudgy lawyer who wakes up one day as the 100th best. tennis probably too.

why wouldn't you be able to get on a basketball team at 40? If you're a top 100 basketball player in the world you have tons of avenues to show it.
You could easily get into an open tryout for a G-league team or dominate the Drew League (which would lead to connections with NBA guys).
The Ringer ranked the top 100 NBA players https://nbarankings.theringer.com/
96. Colin Sexton
97. Derrick Lively
98. Jabari Smith Jr.
99. RJ Barret
100. Al Horford
There is no scenario where someone that talented isn't signed to an NBA team within 1 year.

I don't think any NBA front office is going to sign some >40yo white guy, who just started playing, to a big contract no matter how talented or good he is.
At the very best (and even this is unlikely), you'd be getting 1-year league minimum contracts until you inevitably get career-ending injuries in 1 or 2 years.
I think it needs to be a tournament/prize money sport like golf or tennis where you're not dependent on a small number of gatekeepers.

Al Horford signed a 2 year , $19,500,000 contract with the Boston Celtics, including $19,500,000 guaranteed, and an average annual salary of $9,750,000. In 2024-25, Horford will earn a base salary of $9,500,000, while carrying a cap hit of $9,500,000 and a dead cap value of $9,500,000.
But still. $10M/yr is just shy of what CSLG makes. And you'd get chicks.

He gets that contract because he's performed well at every level, in HS, college, the pros, also in shape, tall, he's a safe bet, also projected to keep performing at that level.
You as a white guy in your 40s with no history will not even get to speak to any decision maker at any NBA team, no matter how good you are. These are very risk-averse people operating under a limited budget.
Becoming a golf pro avoids all the gatekeeping.

The 100th best player on the planet would a *monster* if unleashed on civilians in an open gym. Hed dunk on much taller players, hit every open 25 footer and blow by everyone. He would be a global phenomenon
The NBA lives in fear of losing the interest of affluent white people that simply can't relate to 6'8 black dudes named jaylen. This guy would be the answer to Adam silver's prayers
I agree teams are risk averse. That's why theyd sign and stash him on their g league roster if nothing else. Jim Dolan would have the Knicks gm beaten to death if he let 40 year old white Jordan sign to Toronto or something

If you are 100th best, you should be thinking less about longevity and more about which sport maxes payment in early years.
If you are, in your prime, the 100th best, every year you'll fall lower and lower until you are quickly not making the cut in a top league and no longer make any money.
Maybe soccer then? There are 4 top leagues with 20 teams each and a 1st team roster of 20 players.
That's 1,600 roster spots on 1st division teams. Being top 100 ensures likely decent pay for a good number of years.
