Julius Peppers would have been Charles Oakley had he taken the NBA route out of North Carolina.

I highly doubt one of the shortest players is one of the best basketball players.
I'm not saying he's right (I seriously doubt he is the best hoops player in the league), but you wouldn't think that he was one of the greatest players to ever play in Tiger Stadium based on his physical stature either.

Peppers is a much much better basketball player than Graham.

Played ball with the badger in the rec before. He is, to put it mildly, full of shite. I doubt he's the best on his own team.

Tyrann Mathieu is the best at everything.

If Tyrann said it, I beleive it. He's got a special gift to perform beyond limits and expectations and can do whatever he sets his mind to.

Corey Webster would have tore Mathieu up on the basketball court.
Kenny Lofton was an athlete.

And i can't believe 5'8" Barry Sanders could dunk.

Mathieu and AI are not comparable in any way, and Drose is 6" taller than him. Nothing about Mathieu's basketball skills compare in any way to those 2.
He's an athlete and can play basketball. Doesn't mean he can play at any level near to the best NBA players or even bench role players.
If any NFL player could, they would. NBA contracts are 100x's better than NFL's as well as having longer average careers compared to the NFL.
The average NBA player will make 4x the average NFL player over their careers.
Mike James is a terrible basketball player, barely a double digit scorer at best, yet had one decent season on a bad Toronto team and turned it into a gauranteed 4 year $25million deal at age 31.

You can't believe Barry Sanders could dunk? He's one of the best athletes ever.

I'm better at basketball than tm7.
I'm only kind or kidding.

It's not common for 5'8" guys to be able to dunk.

Dunking is mostly about leg strength, not height. Barry had tree trunks for legs.

Lolz Tyrann wasn't even the best basketball player in Rec most times.

Julius Peppers is probably the best basketball player in the NFL. Dude started for Carolina.

Tyrann used to get shite on in the UREC while he was here. He's just quick with no ball skills, must have been high during this interview.
