Easiest way to put it, football players would simply fail in basketball, basketball players would get seriously hurt in football.

@GBHD7414 4 ай бұрын

Not necessarily many nfl players as kids couldn’t even get pass the physicality of pop warner, and the ones who did stopped playing in highschool mostly besides draymond which was ass. So to come to the nfl is bonkers because they ain’t learning to kick in an off season and the ain’t hitting on special teams. Now can you go pay Chris brikely or lethal shooter etc and learn a skill over the offseason to pair with physicality to already try to guard and go get rebounds to at least get to a draymond level shooting and dribbling? Which would be more likely in your opinion?

Lemon Pepper Lou had the most reasonable remarks out of all the ones they showed here. However, even he shouldn't have said shooting a jumper is more complicated skill than football skills because then you're judging skills and there are more difficult sports than basketball (based on skill). Hitting and pitching baseballs is more difficult (especially at the MLB level).

Or stickhandling/skating in hockey. I know 3 year olds who can run, and jump. You won’t find many who can skate. It’s about what you train for. If you train everyday to hit baseballs, you’ll be better than those who don’t. Same for shooting a basketball, or catching a football. Difference is, you see A LOT more people quit day one of football practice, and hockey practice. I think the willpower, toughness, and mindset it takes to play tho makes the difference. I can’t imagine many nba players feel fear often. I know for a fact if you play hockey or football at ANY LEVEL you’ll feel fear. Probably baseball too, I doubt getting hit by a pitch feels very good. I only played football and hockey tho.

James harden sg. lebron small forward jokic center running the team. foot ball just run your route get open and catch the only thing you have to worry about is getting hit. if you take hitting out of football and make it flag this would even be on conversation because that's the only thing u can go off of tackling someone. shooting is a skill ppl like shaq dwight Howard and giannis are terrible at it dribbling is a skill ai strph kyrie most football players can't even dribble

I didn't make the team that sophomore year and the only pitches I saw that were really hard to judge were sliders and changeups. One really great pitcher on our team, who actually wound up with a DII scholarship for pitching, always had a -seamer, a 2-seamer, and also had a really nasty knuckleball that almost nobody could hit. The hand-eye coordination and the timing needed to hit that ball is very skillful in it's own way. Anyway, I just decided to do track and field and long distance running instead. I was a 800 and mile runner mostly. Also did long jump as well, so that's probably why I like to watch long jumpers.

You’re just wrong. That’s not to say throwing a pass at the NFL level is easy. But to make it to the NBA and be able to shoot it at a high level, is definitely hard to do. How many players have we seen flame out because they couldn’t shoot? (Ben Simmons, etc) this isn’t new. And it’s not to say that passing the ball accurately is easy. But to get to that level, it takes an extreme level of skill. Let’s not lie.

@willjamesjr 4 ай бұрын

Respectfully, Mississippi 91, your take is flawed. Playing qb is extremely hard but there is only. ONE player who has to do that. Also consider the fact that most qbs have trained their entire lives for that 1 specialty. QBs don't have to catch, block or run routes. Offensive players don't play defense and defensive guys will never play offense. But in the NBA??? Do you know how difficult it is to have to play both sides of the floor? Constantly? In consecutive possessions? Even if you are a bad jump shooter, you can't be a complete liability to your offense. If you are a great scorer but a just an ok defender, you still have to play defense. On defense, Kyroe gets caught on a screen and now all of a sudden, he's matched up on Jokic. What do you think would happen if Brady or Mahomes had to flip around and then defend Tyreek Hill or Derrick Henry? There is way more required of every basketball player than is actually required of the absolute BEST NFL players.

I think a lot of people forget about Charlie Ward who was the Heisman trophy winner and went to the NBA. I agree. There is not 30 players on either side that would be stars. Respect the sports. Now statistically it may be easier to make a 53 man roster than a 15 man roster but that's it.

History lesson time… Lonnie Wright was an NBA who got drafted by the Hawks but never signed with them. Instead he decided to play football despite not playing in college. He ended up playing 2 years in the NFL before going back to the NBA. Antonio Gates played college basketball and was told by the NBA he wouldn’t make it because he was considered a tweener. He decided to try out for the NFL despite not playing college football. Not only did he make the NFL, he went on to become one of the greatest players at his position. Those situations could NEVER happen the other way around. Austin was trippin saying 30 players rn could play in the NFL, but there are definitely some. There’s not a single player in the NFL that would even make an NBA roster.

I disagree with that, but they wouldn’t be great players or scorers. But I’ll bet you could find some corner backs who could be a defender/hustler type. Pat bev, Bruce Bowen, or like the manimal back in the day. Like hustle hustle get some out backs or hit wide open corner 3’s etc. But def couldn’t just say “go play” they’d need years to train and hone the craft. But in the nfl you can find a job here or there. But there may not be anyone in the nba willing to take that kinda beating every single week. Takes a different breed. Like people don’t realize how much nfl players bodies get beat up literally every Sunday. Imagine the most beat up and sore you’ve ever been then imagine that’s your job to do every Sunday. Car crash level damage weekly. They different

@@markislivingdeliberately Everyone you just named would absolutely drag any NFL player rn lol. They play their roles in the NBA because that’s just how good everyone in that league is. If they walked into a gym full of NFL players playing basketball, they’d look like MJ. The skill level required to even make the NBA is crazy. In the history there’s only been 5000 or so humans than can ever say they played in the NBA. No NFL player has the basketball skill level required to even make an NBA roster. Julius Peppers maybe but he’d be a bench warmer and he’d definitely benefit from playing in his era. I believe Lebron, Ant, Zion, Westbrook, and a few others would all excel had they chosen football.

@@CN-gw5nt Nah see there is a difference in skillset, but NBA speed and NFL speed are also different but are also similar. Lamar Jackson is a great example of this, I've seen him juke guys out of their cleats and it's more similar to a hesi-cross than a actual football juke. That's where the crossover between sports can be seen on a higher-level player. Lamar Jackson was also a legit high-level High School track and field sprinter.

Austin Rivers is saying there’s 30 guys in the NBA that can play in the NFL but he’s basing his opinion on their size. Just because someone is 6’6 or 6’8 and 250lbs doesn’t automatically mean they can play in the NFL. We’ve seen many big dudes in the NFL get folded in half after being hit so while size is an important factor, it doesn’t mean you can automatically be dropped in the league and play.
