Well that’s been the supporting argument for Rivers comments but it’s not a good one. He said just take 30 current players and the justification has been to use 3-4 examples throughout history consisting of non NBA players. To call that a stretch is more than generous.


A better statement of the argument is that the NBA has dozens (possibly hundreds) of people who could have theoretically played in the NFL.

The NFL has a much, much smaller population who could project as a candidate for the NBA.

That’s just speculation

I do think about a guy like Joe Alt. He was just measured at almost 6'10. He is a good athlete and played TE before moving to OT. If he would have trained at basketball, could he have played at the next level?
