Depends on how and what you are comparing to with a Basketball player.
For example.
"His lay up was so perfect it was like he the best basketball player ever to make such a shot."
The simile "the cat jumped like a basketball player" is from Chapter 6 of "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer" by Mark Twain. It can be found on page 48 of the Penguin Classics edition.

I think you mean synonym. A simile is a comparison using like or as. A synonym is two different words having the same meaning. but a synonym for round could be circular. a simile for round could be "The sun is as round as a basketball" Hope this helps!
Michael Jordon wanted to be remembered as a basketball star, he wanted to send the message out to people to follow their dreams, and perhaps, if you work hard enough, you may accomplish them like him.
