I hope you are joking because the NFL and NCAA football have waaaaaaaaaaaay more thugs. We can go over arrests records if you'd like. Oh and they also love RAP and Hip Hop and bling bling in college and the NFL. And I've heard more RAP music being played at Arrowhead over any NBA arena.

have guns been drawn in an NFL locker room?

Have NFL players climbed into the stands and started punching anyone and everyone they saw?

No but they fought in clubs, beat the shite out of women, arrested on gun charges, arrested for selling drugs. How do you define thugs. If you call NBA players thugs then NFL and NCAA players are also thugs.

I love being able to watch players who I watched in college play in the NFL. You can't do that with either NBA


You have to be out of high school for a year and then be at least 20 to play in the NBA brah.

The NFL has 32 teams with 53 players per roster. That's a hair under 1,700 players total on NFL rosters at a given time.

The NBA has 30 teams with 15 total players per roster. That's a grand total of 450 players on NBA rosters at a given time.

The NFL has nearly 4 times as many players as the NBA and I guarantee you that the NFL doesn't have nearly 4 times as many hooligans/thugs/mugs/desperadoes/skylarks as the NBA does.

So how are NBA players more "thuggish" when they come from the same hoods, schools, etc as NFL players? Lets not get into thugs that play college baketball and football. All these people come from the SAME areas. They just don't turn thugs when they join a certain league.

Hell a NFL player is more likely to knock your frickin teeth out at a club compared to a NBA players. Football players love fighting.

Give me a list of all the NBA players arrested since 2000, include dui's. It won't even sniff the NFL's shite.

ETA: U can break it down into players/arrests and do the percentage.

So do you also think NCAA basketball is full chocked of them. Or do they just turn "thugs" when they join the league.

Just off the top of my head,

Kobe, Arenas, D. West.

Also, on the fighting. 99% of NBA players fight like pussies. Slap fighters.

That's my point, since 2000 that's not many for a league FULL OF THUGS. I know there's more than that, sure there's some DUI charges but I doubt if it's over 20-30. I'm searching and can't even find a list of these NBA thugs and arrests. Just a few and that's all.

ETA: Forgot about Stephen Jackson shooting outside the club.

Thank you, don't see how they are considered THUGS, most don't even get into fights at clubs.

hahaha. Gilbert Arenas isn't even a thug, he's just a dumbass. you are acting like he drew the gun on someone.

He was fricking with a younger player and telling him to put his money where is mouth is, as a joke.

Being a complete retard does not mean you are a "thug"
