Can NFL players play in the NBA?

[@wariokanasta1772]

The Scallenge, that’s all I’ll say to prove NBA is insane to get into (players number is decreased making talent minimum to get signed is the highest by far of any American sport)

[@theleftuprightatsoldierfield]

Counterargument: NBA is a much safer sport and pays much more. If NFL players were capable of playing in the NBA, they would have gone that route

[@SwaggyT78]

Not if they enjoy playing football more not everything is about money

[@thebacc2087]

Mahomes was drafted in MLB and NFL, and chose to play in the NFL, so it’s not always about money.

[@theleftuprightatsoldierfield]

@@thebacc2087 Mahomes was a 37th round pick in the MLB draft. The vast majority of those guys don’t even make it to AA ball, let alone the majors. He was far better and had far more earning potential in football

@@theleftuprightatsoldierfield Kyler Murray chose football what pick was he in the mlb draft 🤔

Buddy thinks the NBA is still in 2013😭😭 talm bout some “joakim Noah” and the league ain’t only about offense, joakim played defense with the best of them

[@tytyhull]

Gotta love a bunch a guys who probably didn't even play high-school sports talking about the most elite athletes to exist, especially one with 3 chins

[@-2crucialcourt-103]

what nfl player is defending and getting rebounds at anywhere near joakim's level ?

[@TuMadre8o5]

This is genuinely one of the stupidest takes I’ve ever seen. Since like 2015 every year we’ve seen an increase in “skilled” players, aka players who can shoot, even the big man shoots now. And there’s only 150 players in the league, how many people play basketball and there’s only 150 IN THE LEAGUE

[@s-s-s-s-solar]

These college athletes that chose the nfl is due to the fact that they couldnt make the nba. Tony gonzales was a dog in college for football but he was a bum with basketball. Lets talk about the 5 nba athletes that were offered nfl contracts? It has NEVER happened the other way around.

[@idontplay3v3]

You gotta think though. You claim they can play big man. Think about someone like parham who is 6'8 tallest guy in the NFL not even bigger than lebron in the NBA.

[@AntLowkey1k]

Rob Gronkowski is 6’7 and got his career cut short due to injury. Being tall doesn’t translate in the nfl unless you’re a lineman and NO basketball player is built for the trenches in the NFL.

[@Dallas0323]

Basketball requires more skill to play.

[@dannybuoy313]

This dude has no clue what he’s talking about at all.

[@wv4776]

Dude name 2 active NFL players as tall as Joakim Noah. Max Crosby is 6’5 with I assume shorter arms and a much lower vert than Lebron. No

[@jonathandaniel5680]

This is the dumbest things I've heard today. Julius Peppers was a mediocre basketball player but one of the best football players ever. Antonio Gates never even played college football and is a hall of famer. NBA players are the best athletes in the world. NBA is about skill not just athletic ability.
