While basketball is not as physical or collision based as football, hockey, wrestling, rugby; fouls do exist and you can use physicality to your advantage without it being an infraction, therefore it's a contact sport. You can get dunked on chest2chest, fall down and there wont be a foul or violation. You can knock someone down setting a screen and it wont be a foul, you can't take a charge without making physical contact with your opponent. Basketball is indeed a contact sport.

@@dalehammers4425 Spoken like someone who doesn't know a damn thing about basketball. Allow me to educate you. In the game of basketball, the rules specify what should be considered legal and illegal contact. Kinda like how in football you can tackle somebody, but you can't hit defenseless receivers, or the QB after they throw the ball, or the kicker/punter after they kicked/punted the ball, or a player who is already out of bounds. The rules specify that as illegal contact, you get a personal foul penalty, or roughing the *insert relevant position*. *If football is a contact sport, why can't I hit the QB on the sideline while his team's Defense is on the field?* (that's you, that's what you sound like asking that stupid question). Grab a dictionary, then look up the definition of 'contact', then look up the definition of 'collision'. Spend some time doing a compare/contrast of their meanings and applications, then try to apply that to your knowledge of football and extremely limited knowledge of basketball. Debate amongst yourself in hopes to gain an understanding the differences. Become educated and informed enough to do your own critical thinking and form your own theory-based ideas and hypotheses on the topic. Good luck on your journey.

[@09lowkey]

From an athletic/physicality standpoint there are plenty of NBA players who could train, transition, and be moderately successful in the NFL. From a skills standpoint, there are only a few. Also the body types don't match up. Guys like Steven Adams are built perfectly to play football, but he's too tall, his knees wouldn't survive more than 3 weeks of the NFL season. On the other hand, basketball is much more dependent on basketball proficiency, NFL players aren't going to train for an offseason and all the sudden be proficient enough at shooting, passing and dribbling to actually play in the NBA. Defensively, however, a DB would be a menace on the basketball court, the ability to make reads, blow up plays from the weak side, block shots, etc. Also, I feel like football players would have an easier time adapting to basketball tactics than basketball players would be adapting to football tactics, at the same time, the continuous fast paced play would be an issue for football players given football stops every play.

[@EJBanks]

It's way more. But key word: transition. They'd probably have to get the body used to taking hits for about 3-4 years and adjust their mentality and learn skills but a lot could do it.

So what was that about money, again?

[@brutallyhonest3574]

Nowhere near the same. The level of physicality and the willpower to continue playing despite the toll it takes on your body. NBA never had nobody NFL fit ready to complete a full season of games. The modern NBA is Charmin soft. Y'all can't even handle the pre-season practice sessions. There's NBA players, former and present that's played football in highschool and college but the NFL is an entirely different beast. And for them to try to get in the NFL, after so long of a time, not going to happen.

Anyone who thinks that you get a “break” after every play has never played football! Getting ready for the next play is not break time at all. You always gotta be ready cuz 1 play can change the whole game whereas in basketball the worst that can happen is you give up 3 points.

Skill wise nba players can physically cant but nfl skill can’t physically can

[@kennyprice6694]

How you figure that? Very different skills sets.

[@Opium64]

@@kennyprice6694 I mean the tallest nfl player is 6’10 and muscle development is different nba has more fast twitch muscle so even if a nfl plays tbh physically might can’t stack up from having to perform different task so might be injured before they start

[@09lowkey]

@@Opium64 I was saying the same thing. NBA players can play football from an athletic aspect, but their bodies aren't ideal. Steven Adams has a great build for football, but he's too tall, his knees wouldn't last. However, Miami Lebron would be a perfect TE, but his body wouldn't be conditioned for the constant collisions. Also, aint no way a NFL player in 1 offseason could train and develop adequate basketball skills to be a successful offensive player, dribbling, passing, shooting at NBA level is not something you can develop in a few months. But the same goes for bball>football, a basketball players couldn't condition their body in 1 offseason to handle the constant physicality at the NFL level.

[@vaaggie96]

Nahh...skill wise, just because you can do a cross over or dunk doesn't mean you can run a 4'3 40 or cover a NFL receiver or vice versa.

[@kennyprice6694]

Back in the 70's and 80's a lot of track stars became NFL wide receivers because there wasn't a pro market for track athletes. NBA players can play football and vice versa. 30 from each league is a stretch.

Julius Peppers was pretty good at basketball in college

[@brianherrera1390]

The NBA players dont run 4.42 NOT PLAYING RECEIVER OR DB. GET THAT OUT YOUR HEAD. TE is the only position but u better be strong

[@EBIJunk-u6z]

LeBron James who was timed at 4.60 in the 40 yard dash at age 28 would be a fantastic TE. Ja Morant with his leaping ability and speed would be a great WR or CB. There are many NBA players that could athletically play in the NFL. It would take some time to get accustomed to the physicality and at least some NBA players would be able to get accustomed to the physicality and some would quit. It would be easier for NBA players to get accustomed to the physicality of the NFL than it would be for NFL players to develop their skills for the NBA.

[@pjb7490]

Bonzi gotta understand that there are guys that trained their whole life to be in the NFL and washed out. N'Keal Harry is 6'4 210-225llbs and he gets bitched by pro corners because he can't release and has terrible footwork. Ain't no NBA player coming to an NFL training camp and then gonna be effective at a skill position, unless they were a 2 sport player in college like Julius Peppers or Antonio Gates for example lol

To say all NBA players would quit once they took their first hard hit is just as ignorant as saying all NFL players do is catch the ball and run north and south. Some NBA players would get accustomed to the hard hits and some would quit. People adapt and I'm sure some NBA players would be able to and some would not.

[@Michael0409]

I tried out for the Dallas Cowboys in 2001 as a tight end NBA players could not go into the NFL and play. It’s not just about running the route. It’s about knowing how to come off the ball if the defensive player is lined up on your inside shoulder, but you gotta run a dig. How do you get off the ball if he’s on your outside shoulder and you have to run an out how do you get him to take the inside step with you so that you can run the route without showing that that’s the route that you’re running, if you gotta run a fly, he’s playing deep. How do you draw him up so that you can get open on the fly? It’s not easy for every one play there’s five audibles according to defense if they’re in a nickel if they’re a man to man, but they’re not showing Man to man if they’re in zone but it looks like they’re in Man to man coverage They’re in a 3-4 4-3 a 5-2 It’s very complex very complex. That’s why in that movie little Giants the kid says it Football is 90% mental and 10% physical..

Randy Moss literally said what made him choose the NFL over the NBA is he played against some college players and realized how much better they were than him. 🤣 btw Moss is my favorite player of all time. Moss was a much better b ball player than Marvin and I’m from Philly. There are definitely roles for fast, high jumping b ball players at receiver. Moss, Irvin, Carter, Gonzalez, Gates, graham all were HOF’s or All Pro’s in the NFL as pass catchers. None of them would’ve been in the league as more than developmental league or role players.
