NBA players are incredible athletes as are baseball, football etc. But the notion that NBA dudes can play in the NFL because they are big or fast or whatever the argument is, is absolutely delusional.

If the idea is you can take 30 NBA players and have them run routes in a game then sure. They can physically do that. What happens between snap and whistle … not sure they’d be ready for that action.

No such thing as “load management” in the NFL.

In an actual game? Idk, would they be able to deal with NFL DBs jamming them at the line and still be able to stay on time? I'm sure they can physically go out there and try to run routes but I don't know how effective they would be doing it that would actually warrant a roster spot above any current active WR.

Rob Gronkowski went on the manningcast and flat out said he didn't know the plays. He was just bigger and faster than the people covering him so he got away with it.

NBA players are absolute freaks of nature. Give the top 5 power forwards in the league a summer and I guarantee you they're doing Gronkowski type numbers. shite, most NBA players barely work at their craft and they still make millions. It's crazy how blessed they are physically.

it would be "easier" for an NBA player to play football than a football player to play in the NBA.

Myles Garrett is the same height as Steph Curry he's still getting bodied by big boys in the NBA.

take Wembenyama on the goalline and just make him run fades no one is stopping that without committing a penalty
