This confirms that Austin Rivers is actually Andrew Tate disguised with a jheri curl wig

did he really say this?

If Zeke Elliot can play center for the Cowboys, he can play center for the Mavs

Can he really play center for The Cowboys tho?

Fair point. DC4L

Can you imagine Miles Garrett or TJ Watt laying out Kevin Durant coming across the middle? Be like if a science classroom skeleton got hit by an F150.

Remember that scene in Not Another Teen Movie where Chris Evans threw the football across the middle to the nerd and he immediately got bisected by the two DBs on contact? That’s what would happen.

https://i.redd.it/fyz9fm36l5zc1.gif

KD is definitely not one of the 30

By god he broke that man in half!

I mean Johnny Knox was pretty good despite being that skinny. So Durant would do well until he broke

I don’t think KD would’ve been one of his 30 players tho 😂

why does austin rivers look like a hairy andrew tate

Holy shit 😭😭

Ben simmons would liquidate after being tackled by a linemen

His back would snap instantly by the sheer weight of the pads.

If he misses time for his feelings being hurt he wouldn’t even make it to when the ball snaps

I’m sorry, I can’t take him seriously with that excuse of a hair cut

You’d have some issues too if Doc was your Dad.

Ah man 😬 now it makes perfect sense

Way better than the worm heads that tons of black players have like brunson Clarkson paolo etc

Zion would be an all-pro future HOF linebacker on any NFL squad. 

homeboy injures himself jumping in the air

That’s why I said “maybe” for Zion in another comment, he’s big and athletic enough but I don’t think he has that dawg in him

Linebacker? The dude is closer to a DT, maybe a DE when he lays off the gumbo.

TE no question

Dude can barely stay healthy playing basketball lol If we’re assuming no injuries, then yeah sure

Definitely lining up opposite Kelvin Benjamin on the all-buffet team.

LB? I doubt Zion can run a sub 5.5 40, he would get torn apart by college players 😭

You’re insane if you don’t think Zion could run sub 5 40

40 yards, not 40 feet

This has to be sarcasm. Tell me you haven't played a single sport in your life without telling me.

Expect fat ass George’s Niang exist so there’s about 30 players on each nfl team better than him. Just have to live in americas largest escape room clevland.

Pretty sure that’s Andrew Tate with a bad wig

Russel Westbrook could have been the best wide receiver in NFL history

Him and D-Rose

Thought it was Andrew tate

No lie

Why is this a jerk he preaching the truth

That's exactly what I was thinking lol

How tho? NFL players are undeniably quicker, faster, and stronger than NBA players. If you took the 30 best NBA players that could play in the NFL and made them play 100 games against the worst NFL team right now, I guarantee the NFL team would win 100 times in a row. Now if you took the 30 best NBA ready NFL players and made them play 100 game’s against the worst NBA team, I think it’s possible for the NFL team to take a single game off of athleticism alone. Even the fastest NBA player in the League is not close to the top 15-20 in the NFL. Assuming NFL players can at least make open lay ups and shoot 3s around 25-30%, it’s doable even if *extremely* unlikely. The NBA team that plays in the NFL would unironically lose 80-0 every single game, maybe even worse. I know that’s not the point being argued by Rivers here, but still. You are severely underestimating how athletic NFL players are.

The NBA is too skill/coordination focused. Most NFL players wouldn't translate to the NBA just because they can't dribble/shoot/finish the ball at an elite level whereas there's a good amount of NBA players who have the size/strength/speed to translate to the NFL.

>there's a good amount of NBA players who have the size/strength/speed to translate to the NFL. There absolutely arent lmao. There are maybe enough to count on one hand, same as with NFL guys to NBA. The ones who are big and tall by NBA standards arent even remotely strong enough to be linemen. The ones who are quick arent remotely quick enough to be a receiver or corner. If you want to talk sports that translate to the NFL, its usually been track and field that seems to have the most carry over.

I mean, by good amount I mean like 5-12 players. It still translates better to NFL than it does the other way around.

Theres at least the same amount of 6'4ish wide receivers and corners who absolutely have the size, athleticism, and hand eye ball coordination skills to translate to the NBA. And they would probably do it better than the 5 or so going NBA to NFL. Because the difference is as I pointed out the NBA guys are lacking football mechanics AND some dimension of athleticism. The biggest arent big enough, fastest arent fast enough, etc. The NFL guys are only really lacking basketball handling and shooting mechanics. They have everything else, the verticals, theyre kind of up there in height, the speed, etc.

Where we disagree is that I think the athletic capabilities are much easier to make up for than the coordination capabilities. NBA players can always build size and hone in on agility training but when it comes to basketball, there's a reason that Luka's a future hall of famer, derrick Jones jr. Is a role player, and most of the draft class isnt even in the NBA

>Where we disagree is that I think the athletic capabilities are much easier to make up for than the coordination capabilities I mean yeah I definitely disagree on this. Lets take even the physical aspects you CAN train like packing on size and strength. The big boys of the NBA for example would have to transition to lineman since they clearly couldnt be a receiver or anything with their speed. Do you have any idea how much bigger and stronger the NFL guys are than the absolute biggest NBA guys? Zion is memed for being too huge and strong and undisciplined and he barely cracks into a 300 ish bench. Steven Adams is considered one of the leagues strongest dudes and Im sure hes stronger now but when he was drafted he only benched 185x16 at the NBA combine. Thats weaker than many NFL receivers lol. Guys like those two are naturally strength gifted enough to add the size but it would take like a half decade to reach NFL level. Thats on top of learning the role mechanics like reading defenses and actually blocking. I seriously dont think it would take an NFL skill player a half decade to just get competent ball handling and shooting. And thats btw as I said the stuff you CAN train. A lot of NFL gifted athlete attributes you cant evolve much more. Elite 40yd speed close to literal Olympian track athletes, agility, etc. "Honing agility" is nowhere near as easy as you make it sound lol.

The NBA team would lose every game 135-0 to Arizona. The NFL team would lose 225-20 every game to the Pistons.

The entire NBA team would also be hospitalized one game in.

new automod

brother you are underestimating how athletic nba guys are.

I didn’t realize half of this sub was r/NFL guys until now.

Yea there’s a reason why a ton of NBA guys get quarterback money. And most NFL guys would probably be in the NBA is they had the choice. Rolled ankle or CTE?

The reason a ton of guys get QB money is the NBA generates half the revenue but only has a quarter of the roster size, also one player can impact a game in basketball much more than pretty much any major sport save hockey goalies maybe

I agree w all of that. I think it is harder to get a spot in the nba for the same reasons, meaning there probably are a lot more nba guys that could have made the nfl, than vice versa. I think what Austin rivers said is pretty close to true I think most guys would rather be playing bball for more money than destroying their body and brains in the nfl, meaning it is more desirable

Well yeah if you can do both the smart option is bball for sure. But you also don’t see many basketball rejects stepping onto the gridiron and a prototypical basketball body would get you nuked in football. My whole point is football would be way harder of a transition than most of these guys think. Virtually no basketball player is successfully blocking or tackling at NFL level any time soon, certainly not 30 like Austin suggests

If they can’t make the NFL now, they certainly could have if they went that path in college instead of b-ball

I agree it would be an easier transition than NFL —> NBA but saying 30 guys is such cap lol List of current players off the top of my head I think could’ve been football players if they wanted: -LeBron -Ant -Westbrook -Zion (maybe) -Fox Anyone else is probably either too weak, too slow, too tall to get proper leverage, or would disintegrate upon contact

Jalen Suggs was a 4 star quarterback prospect in high school. Cousin of Terell Suggs.

McConnell? McBride? Kyle Anderson? Austin Reaves? Fat Serbian Guy?

Maybe the first two, the last three absolutely not lol

Jokic would be an awesome RT

Dude would get bullrushed into the QB’s lap every play he isn’t getting dusted when he tries to anchor lol

If he was 6'5" instead of 7' and born in america he would be a HOF qb

If my aunt had a pair of balls she’d be my uncle. Also I get Jokic is a great passer with great court vision but colour me skeptical assuming anyone would be a great QB when there’s maybe 16 people at a time able to play the position at a good pro level

Respect your aunt's pronouns. Or Dwight Howard'll do it for you

Well theres only 1 person ever in the nba at his size to pass at his level 🤔

Passing in football and basketball are almost completely different skills, maybe Nash should’ve played QB too while we’re at it

I’d bet there’s countless guys that could easily play in the NFL if they put on some weight. imo NBA players are, on average, way more athletic than NFL players. I really don’t think things like speed would be much of an issue. Every NFL player would be playing in the NBA if they could, there’s a ton of NBA players who were star football players too but chose basketball. And I like the NFL way more than the NBA so I’m not being biased here

You know why I don’t think this is true? There are a lot of guys with NBA level athleticism out there that don’t make it to the league, if it’s so easy why don’t they just switch once bball hasn’t worked out? There’s also hardly any successful players in the NFL over 6’5 and most that are weigh 300+lbs. That’s a huge jump from what a typical bball player weighs and if it was easy to just play WR or something you would see a lot more tall WRs than you do. Yes if you’re a pro level basketball player you should probably pursue that over football but I don’t really recall hearing about many NBA players who excelled at football

[удалено]

Yes it’s safer, but it isn’t better if they think they have the talent to be a star WR or something. You also can’t think of anyone doing the opposite because if you can play in the NBA, that’s where you go. Same with baseball, Jeff Samardija was a great receiver at Notre Dame but was also a good enough pitcher to go pro so he went with baseball. It would be interesting to see a 12+ man on the roster in the NBA switch to football and excel but you’re right, nobody wants to take that risk. Maybe such a player exists but until proven otherwise I’m saying most basketball players couldn’t jump ship to the NFL either. Also there are not a ton of guys in the NBA built like a TE lol, maybe Zion

[удалено]

I’m going to preface this with I do think NBAers would have an easier transition than vice versa. That being said: Body type is more limiting the other way but there’s a reason there aren’t that many really tall football players, and most tall players are also massive. And that reason isn’t cause every tall athlete is playing basketball. I agree the NFL player needs to be able to shoot and dribble but there’s more to being a good football player than being strong and fast. Workout warriors bust all the time. I would love to see most NBA players try to block or tackle lol I’m sure more NBA guys could transition but people are on crack if they think 30+ NBA guys would stick in an NFL roster

[удалено]

I think my actual point is being a two sport athlete at the professional level (as in good enough to do both) is much harder than some of these NBA guys think

Gordan, KAT, Ant, Gobert, and Jokic would all do well. That's just one matchup and ignoring physical freaks on their benches

You’re nuts lol. I’m confident Ant would do well. Gordan might be good. Everyone else no fucking chance. Gobert??? lol!

Pope was a horrible TE but was drafted in like the second round because he was 6'8". You're telling me that a 270 lbs, 7 ft guy, with good athleticism, and a amazing hands wouldn't do well?

You talking about Leonard Pope? A guy who was drafted like 20 years ago is your example? Jokic does not have good athleticism at all lol, he’d probably run a 5.4 40. Him and Gobert would be horrific football players and it’s disturbing you’d even suggest them out of all the players in the NBA

I don't watch much NFL anymore so don't know current players. Jokic could be a QB with his vision and touch. I still think Gobert would be a great WR or TE. Why do you disagree?

It’s nuts to assume anyone could be a good QB, it’s arguably the hardest position in sports. Jokic would be horrific at evading the rush so he better be like Peyton Manning at reading defenses and getting the ball out on time, assuming he would also have NFL calibre arm strength and accuracy. I’m pretty confident in saying no athlete can just walk in and play QB at an NFL level or close to it. Gobert isn’t anything special athletically, he’s just extremely long. I think he moves somewhat awkwardly much of the time too. I highly doubt he could separate from a decent NFL corner or safety so at this point you’re hoping he can just high point every ball where they can’t reach and it wouldn’t be long before he gets his ribs or legs taken out if defenses know that’s all he can do.

You don't need the arm strength. Chad Pennington could only throw like 40 yards and he was great.

Chad Pennington threw for more than 20 TDs once (low bar) and never broke 4,000 yards lol he was mid at best

Physically, yes, but mentally, no

And none of them can hit a 95 mph fastball

Well Kyler can and Shaq Thompson and Russel Wilson

pat connaughton might at least be able to throw one, he was drafted as a pitcher

And no baseball player can do underwater polo. Like what’s the point?

If MJ couldn’t, these bums sure can’t

I gotta see his 30 lol

This bum looks like he wearing a BBL Drizzy Halloween starter costume.

Why does he look Andrew Tate in his drake phase

Lmao that's too accurate

Hear me out, wemby but ONLY goal line fades. Easy 50 touchdowns a season

I think Giannis would be better. Deadass wemby is so skinny he’d still get jammed on the line

As fun as it sounds, one knee level tackle can end this guy's season

Now why does he look like Andrew Tate?

Lebron woulda been a nasty tight end/receiver. I think a lot of NBA guys would fit for tight end/receiver, defensive end/back/corner. Mostly premier money positions in the NFL And if you are big heavyweight guy who can’t get in the NFL, you can go make 60k a year risking your life in UFC

Maxey, Tatum, Rui, and Ivey would all be great prospects at either wideout or TE.

The only guy I agree with you on there is Maxey, Tatum isn’t even that explosive and would get blown tf up at the point of attack. Rui would also need to bulk up a lot, I don’t see what Ivey brings to the table other good WRs don’t.

Ivey is ridiculously fast and 6'4".

I would say that he might be right on an athletic level but there’s a reason those guys play basketball

Bro is Andrew Tate with hair

NBA players seem like the least likely to translate to other sports. Maybe some of the smaller players.

Can NBA players beat their girlfriends/wives and still keep their job? I think not NFL - 1 NBA - 0

Never seeing this dude and not thinking about andrew Tate ever again

Did he not watch the celebrity all star games that feature NFL players dunking the ball with ease

Yeah but that is only because of the prolonged CTE they all have. That is why they're always beating up their wives, because they think they are in 'nam and they're being attacked by them

Did Andrew Tate broke out of of Romanian prison?

Austin Tate > Andrew Rivers

[удалено]

I thought this was Jackson Mahomes 🤣

I say the exact opposite is true.

If it was just about physical attributes yeah, but half of these players act like they are dying when getting bumped in the NBA, now imagine one of them taking a helmet to the head from Miles Garrett


Uj/ Absolutely not. Maybe dawgs like Ant or Boogie, but like mentally the NFL is a whole nother game. It's easy for all y'all scrubs to think "physically they'd be fine" and yeah, that's true, but i promise you those NBA players will take like 2 hits and crack. Football impacts are insane, and jumping right in at the fastest and heaviest level would mean you don't have that slow period of adjustment, like NFL players do going from hs to college to NFL
