Shooting a basketball requires much different skills than playing football. While football is objectively more dangerous, basketball requires a higher level of skill and dedication imo
People always overestimate how good they are at basketball. There's good and then there's NBA good. The skill gap is the size of the grand canyon, I promise you.
Exactly, no one in the nfl has ever played enough basketball to just go play in the nba. Say they take 3 full years and focus on nothing but basketball? Play in a lower pro league first? Ok, maybe. But a big maybe.
George Fant, my man was a conference champion and state champion basketball player. Transitioned after college and became a stud in the NFL just signed another 2year deal this offseason
the real difference is it is so much easier to make an nfl roster than an nba roster. there are 450 nba roster spots and 1760 nfl roster spots. then in the nba you have to compete against people from around the world for those spots, nfl youre competing with almost only americans and then some canadians and other nationalities as well. neither one is easy to do, and there are absolutely incredible athletes in both leagues but its not a fair comparison just based on the numbers
The skill gap between a 2nd string and 1st string is also a lot less than the starters and bench in the nba. Lotta NFL and NBA guys can definitely fill in those 3rd string or bench positions
Sure if you think about the numbers in an incredibly simplistic manner. In the NFL you have extremely specific requirements for height, weight, proportions etc. That doesn't exist nearly as much in the NBA. You have guys of all sizes playing every position. That doesn't work in the NFL. If you're too heavy you can't play WR or DB, if you're too tall you are disadvantaged at certain OLine positions. If your arms are too short you literally can't even play certain positions. It's infinitely harder to make the NFL because of the specific requirements for every position. Someone who's 6'8 can only play like two positions and one of them would require them to add another 70lbs to their frame most of the time which is totally unrealistic.
@@Chevalier1632you understand the tallest nfl guys would be small forwards. Most nba guards are 6’3 plus that alone wipes out a large portion of the nfl.
@@matthewboyle9571 You understand that the tallest NFL guys outweigh small forwards by like 70 pounds right? Zion is the heaviest player in the NBA and he'd be below average for a DT in the NFL. Someone who is 6'7 can feasibly play 1-4 on a basketball team, where they'd be shoehorned into one or two positions based on their weight and reach. There are literally tons of hyperathletic skill position players in the 6'1-6'3 range in the NFL.
@@Chevalier1632 i think you might have some cognitive dissonance on this one. that is just how numbers work, there are almost 4 times as many roster spots in the nfl compared to the nba. and then you gotta compete against men from around the world for nba roster spots, there are way less foreign born players in the nfl. the average nba player is considerable taller than the average nfl player. height is a normal distribution so the taller the person the more increasingly rare it is. let me spell that out for you, the more rare it is the more difficult it is. you are so dumb you said "that doesnt exist nearly as much in the nba. you have guys of all sizes playing every position". how many guards are under 6 foot? how many forwards are under 6'5"? how many centers are under 7? what do you mean you have guys of every size playing every position? 99% of the league is over 6 feet tall
Would be a lot easier for a NBA guy to go NFL than vice versa. NFL guys are shorter, and quite frankly, anyone who’s good enough to go to the NBA isn’t going to choose the NFL. The average pay is lower, and the damage to your body/mind is higher. In all of the NFL, you may have 1-3 guys who could start in the NBA, and honestly I think that’s a stretch. Myles Garrett is 6’4…. Y’all really think that’s a man who’s about to tell Nurkic or Jokic what to do on the court, lol
My thing with this debate is why would an nfl player play a sport where there is less guaranteed money and more potential for injury if they could play in the NBA?
Probably depends on your definition of "make the NBA." I'd have to imagine there are some NFL guys who could make the bottom of an NBA roster if they took a year or two to practice and transform their bodies. Definitely no NBA superstars in the NFL. The guys who could do it probably ARE making more money in the NFL than the 15th guy on a random NBA team.
Even that’s hard to believe. Both the guys like 6’3-6’5 which still makes it much harder to make the nba cause there are still a bunch of people that height in the world. I would honestly say like the 6’8 lineman would have a much better chance due to the size.
@@matthewboyle9571by your standards Stephan curry shouldn’t be in the nba then he’s 6’2 your own argument doesn’t make much sense Also shame on you for basically disrespecting muggsy bogues, Nate Robinson, spud webb, Chris Paul, John Stockton, Allen iverson, hell even jerry west the nba logo himself
@@matthewboyle9571bad take. offensive lineman arent nimble enough to cover 94 feet, lineman are conditioned to be just that. tae and tee have legitimate basketball background. nowhere near as much of skill gap
@@merccodcompetitiveplayer2184yes but he might literally be the worst player in the league it baffles me how he got a roster spot because he can’t shoot he can’t defend, and he’s not a young prospect necessarily
Clearly this discussion will never result in an 11 on 11 game however how about an NBA versus NFL seven on seven tournament and an NBA versus NFL basketball tournament?
Myles Garrett, Arik Armstead, Tee Higgens, Mike Evans, Puka Nacua, Brandon Aiyuk, Justin Jefferson, Cj Stroud, Cooper Dejean, Jalen Ramsey, Aiden Hutchinson, Justin Fields, DK Metcalf…. And I’m sure there’s afew no name guys in the league who are cold hoopers
@@BrianSmith-ek1xn I agree, won’t argue that at all. That’s whats supposed to happen. He’s in the nba . But literally every nba player getting cooked by Gabe Davis in football. See how easy that is? Lol
It's not that the NFL players couldn't have played in the NBA if they decided to go that route at a younger age, it's that most these players (even the elite of the elite athletes) won't have the experience to give them the requisite ball skills to play in the NBA. It definitely would be easier to teach technique to be a receiver than a ball handler or shooter. Would the NBA player be an all-pro receiver? No but they could serve a role in an offense based purely on athleticism.
@@darnellclemm135 Please, outside of Minnesota's suffocating defense right now against the Nuggets, anytime a smaller guard was going out for a pass he'd be met with a hard hit. I do think Zion, just based off his own athleticism and sheer size and agility for a big man, would be the best to transition into the NFL as a defensive End. Maybe a Linebacker too, but he'd have to actually be able to read the field and know what his job is on the field.
basketball is obviously more geared towards conditioning. however football is way more physical and tedious. yes players rest in between plays but calling and or not executing the right play can be way more detrimental. a dropped pass can seal the game as where missing 50% of your shots isnt. I feel like 80% of basketball players could transition based on athletic ability and maybe previous game knowledge. however most wouldnt be able to make it a full season in the NFL. no rest days like in the NBA and getting tackled full speed by players 250lbs +. forget about it.
yeah, football is discipline and coordination with ten other guys executing a set of set parameters, basketball is sometimes like that but a lot of the time it's just 1-on-1 contests and making a lot of your own calls, adapting on the fly. It's really a fundamental difference, that's a good take. I don't know that 80% of dudes in basketball could suit up even initially for the NFL but I know it's a smaller number from NFL to NBA. If we assumed that whoever it is gets a year or something to train, either bulk up or cut weight, then I think there's probably a set of guys in the NFL with a good shot to at least get a two way deal (which I think is reasonable given the relative size of NFL rosters). But I do think generally there are going to be more NBA guys with the potential to make an NFL roster. A ton of these guys in both sports played everything growing up, so a lot of the NBA guys got tackled plenty in high school and many in college. Obviously a season long grind getting tackled by professional killers is different, but 82 games at a higher level of cardio with back-to-backs and 3 games in 4 nights is different as well.
I don’t think nfl players realize the difference between the defense in the nfl and nba. Ramsey trying to lock down anthony edwards while moving at high speeds to then get posterized would be too funny and embarrassing
I agree with you but if anyone would be able to play defense in the nba it would probably be Ramsey. Don’t forget he is a world class athlete and could probably be in the Olympics if he focused on track. I’m not saying he could play on the nba but just playing defense 1v1, he could probably hold his own. Him being a db and having to constantly switch his hips is all defense is
Cooper Dejean would smoke every single person on this list. This dude eats breaths & sleeps sports. Particularly Football & Basketball. He also plays baseball & did track & field. The dude is an animal & will be an absolute weapon for the Eagles. No wonder so many are upset at the Eagles this offseason.
Chris Manhertz blocking TE been on a lot of teams caught a touchdown from Christian McCaffery and Trevor Lawrence’s first TD pass played D1 basketball at canisius college
@@JspekRexright especially with how injury prone he’s been lately. Dudes are delusional. No NFL right now would make an NBA roster. No NBA player would make an NFL roster. Austin Rivers said that 💩 for no reason.
Height would be a huge issue for most of those guys, almost everyone on his list is a PG or SG height. Some of them probably could have made a roster but still being able to after stepping away from the sport would be extremely difficult.
Dans list reminds me of when i saw family i havent seen in a while would say, "you're tall you must be a basketball player" I'm a 6'2" white guy who cant even dribble a ball.
Here's what I never understand....are we taking these players back to high school and focusing on a different sport or taking them out of their current league today and putting them in a different sport? That changes the conversation.
The difference is you could not put a full football team together from NBA players that is good enough to play in the NFL. Who's going to play OL? You could put a full basketball team together from NFL players.
Has he seen Puka play? Also, we need to stop pretending like basketball isn’t the more skilled sport. Ofc it would be easier for an NBA player to transition to the NFL than the other way around.
@Browndogrules the only argument you have is physicality. But the argument is who's the better athlete. But football players only have 1 job to do on either offense or defense and 20 minutes is the actual time of action being played. So you're talking about only 10 minutes once a week. You got NBA players playing 40 + minutes a game for 3 times a week. Some even play all 82 games
All of these highlights of NFL greats playing basketball are guys barely getting the ball over the rim. NBA players jump over Shaq, they pretty routinely hit their heads on the backboard. Exactly zero NFL players would get in that dunk contest because they'd look like a 5-year-old getting clowned by his uncle.
devontae smith for philly. Hes got the body type and can legit hoop and not full of muscle like DK Metcalf. Most receivers probably have a shot but D Smith got my vote!
@@k1ng_chamberlain Sure, athleticism is one thing but hand-eye coordination, on-court IQ, awareness, hustle, passing, and rebounding are also all big parts of the game.
IT slander! He signed a 10 day with the suns, and signed for the remainder of the year and playoffs for them, he sat on the bench while beal fouled out he could have made a difference in the series, the suns needed a PG!
Raw athleticism doesn’t just translate to another pro league. The only exception I can think of is that I think Lebron would’ve been a great NFL TE but that’s a unique case
As a nfl and football fanatic.. there are very few players who could play in the nba, if any. I would be able to count them on one hand. While on the other hand, many nba players would be able to switch over and play well in the nfl. This is not even a debate
Lamar, Sauce and AJ Brown are the only 3 on the list that I’d mmm could even begin to see. But I’d like to chime in a say Hamilton. I think with him being 6’4 with pterodactyl arms would make him a solid 2 guard
Find 52 NBA players and play against a college football team. Find 15 NFL guys and go play college ball. Promise yah, NFL players will succeed further. It’s hard to find NBA players that can be Linebackers, Olines, Dlines, QB, kicker and RB’s.
To be fair every nfl player could play in the nba but not every nba player can play in the nfl (Side note) most nba players would snap in half by the physicality and that is not debatable
Wow the audacity of @bostonconnor to just absolutely trash the pride of the boston celtics for 2 years that fell out of the league because of a hip injury. The man nearly won an nba mvp as a 5'9" bush among trees.

The problem is every NFL player you can name would have to be a guard due to how short they are in comparison to the average NBA player...
Isaiah Thomas catching strays🤣
Hay , Should See the Watt ,Brothers play Hockey 🏒
Think of all of the crazy amazing basketball players who don’t make it in the league. No one is switching over from NFL and making it.
As a 6'6" guy who CANT dunk, I'm offended lol
Has he seen Puka play?
Also, we need to stop pretending like basketball isn’t the more skilled sport. Ofc it would be easier for an NBA player to transition to the NFL than the other way around.
Anthony Richardson not making the list is crazy
Anything Myles Garett can do…TJ Watt can do better than
It’s funny how this video literally proves Rivers Point! All these dudes are ballers who chose football 🤣🤣
Room temp iq
@Browndogrulesno
lol everybody’s idol iverson chose basketball over football cause basketball was softer
@Browndogrules the only argument you have is physicality. But the argument is who's the better athlete. But football players only have 1 job to do on either offense or defense and 20 minutes is the actual time of action being played. So you're talking about only 10 minutes once a week. You got NBA players playing 40 + minutes a game for 3 times a week. Some even play all 82 games
Why Moe cox not there guy played college basketball
This is stupid Higgins maybe…. But several 4 star high-school players dont make it to the nfl
Pretty sure Richard Sherman and DK Metcalf were pretty good at basketball
Tee Higgins ranked 15th ranked in his state? City? Definitely not in the country
For real though dunk contest between NFL and NBA would be sick NFL might win it'd be better then the regular NBA dunk contest
All of these highlights of NFL greats playing basketball are guys barely getting the ball over the rim. NBA players jump over Shaq, they pretty routinely hit their heads on the backboard. Exactly zero NFL players would get in that dunk contest because they'd look like a 5-year-old getting clowned by his uncle.
devontae smith for philly. Hes got the body type and can legit hoop and not full of muscle like DK Metcalf. Most receivers probably have a shot but D Smith got my vote!
He's 6 foot tall he would have to be one of the most skilled basketball players in the world
@@mindyourbuisness8104 rest of the guys I can think of weigh too much
Puka dominated the celebrity game all star weekend...Danno needs to focus on his best skill .. farting on live tv 🙄💨
Basketball isn’t just dunking which is why there isn’t more than 5 nfl players that can play in the NBA
I doubt any could actually make the NBA at this point, but no DK???!?!?
Amonra is 5'11 lmao
There’s been tons of players shorter
@@k1ng_chamberlainTons is a strong word. Not very many, and the ones who did play were EXTREMELY skilled.
@@k1ng_chamberlainyes but why does that mean this guy would be good in the league, like where is the logic in the pick?
@@wolfwang8464 insane athleticism Just projecting talent
@@k1ng_chamberlain Sure, athleticism is one thing but hand-eye coordination, on-court IQ, awareness, hustle, passing, and rebounding are also all big parts of the game.
IT slander! He signed a 10 day with the suns, and signed for the remainder of the year and playoffs for them, he sat on the bench while beal fouled out he could have made a difference in the series, the suns needed a PG!
TJ watt can jump. He has hops 🤷🏻♂️😂
Raw athleticism doesn’t just translate to another pro league. The only exception I can think of is that I think Lebron would’ve been a great NFL TE but that’s a unique case
Tyreek and CMC are crazy takes 😂
Tyreek???maholmes??? Lamar??? Lov ya dan but I dont think you understand how height works 😂😅😂😅😂
As a nfl and football fanatic.. there are very few players who could play in the nba, if any. I would be able to count them on one hand. While on the other hand, many nba players would be able to switch over and play well in the nfl. This is not even a debate
Give me Puka at PG. Guy was unreal in HS and tore it up in the NBA All star game.
If NBA and NFL switched players all together what league would be better NBA or NFL.... NBA for sure
that would just ruin the NFL
Wouldn’t be enough players. NFL 53 man roster and NBA is 15. That’s why NBA is hard, such little opportunity to make the team
Who's going replace the linemen?
@@dallas317 wouldn't have to worry about it, cause there wouldn't be any dlinemen
@@dallas317 zion if he could stay healthy 😂
The amount of people who get pissed at some of dans obvious trolling is hilarious😂
Lamar, Sauce and AJ Brown are the only 3 on the list that I’d mmm could even begin to see. But I’d like to chime in a say Hamilton. I think with him being 6’4 with pterodactyl arms would make him a solid 2 guard
This is a take a step OB in the back of the end zone kind of take…
He's a clown
Find 52 NBA players and play against a college football team. Find 15 NFL guys and go play college ball. Promise yah, NFL players will succeed further. It’s hard to find NBA players that can be Linebackers, Olines, Dlines, QB, kicker and RB’s.
I love how they just roast Orlovsky for his awful takes every time he comes on 😂
I’ll say this tho. The greatest lock down defensive point guard ever probably just played football.
To be fair every nfl player could play in the nba but not every nba player can play in the nfl
(Side note) most nba players would snap in half by the physicality and that is not debatable
Anthony Richardson Young
Do people forget Tom Brady played with MJ? With his fire, he could be Mark Price at least
JJ Watt playing against middle schoolers like Katt Williams lol
Wow the audacity of @bostonconnor to just absolutely trash the pride of the boston celtics for 2 years that fell out of the league because of a hip injury. The man nearly won an nba mvp as a 5'9" bush among trees.
It got me thinking. What about switching coaching. Miami Heat Spoelstra and Miami Dolphins Mike McDaniel. They're both great coaches. I think Dolphins players. Would have issues with Heat Culture.
NBA VS NFL upcoming this year at the NBA ALL-STAR game SOOOOOOOOON
Didn’t metcalf win celebrity mvp?
Making that list and not putting Jimmy Grahm is hilarious
Any answer other than DK is a robbery😂😂
