NBA players going to the NFL is exponentially easier than the other way around. Not even a logical way to debate this

Put it like this. We appreciate NFL players for putting their body on the line. We appreciate NBA players for their skill.

Antonio Gates has pretty much solidified this argument. Standout at both sports in HS, played NCAA basketball (no colliege football whatsoever). When he realized he wasn't going to the NBA, decided to try out for the NFL, tried out, and became a HOF TE. Now... name a story with an NFL prospect that didn't make it that did well in the NBA?

If you don’t have a consistent jump shot and you are under 6’10. You are most likely not going to make an nba roster. I mean you can’t make the nba today if you don’t have the ability to make a 3 point shot consistently while simultaneously being under 6’10. People under 6’10 are obviously in the league. They can reliably make 3 point shots however. That skills gap would prevent the overwhelming majority of nfl players from transitioning into the nba. You need to be able to make 3s consistently unless you are a center in the nba.

I have a 8 year old who is just starting out in both sports. Football season he was the best on the field without having any experience. He scored every game. His natural athleticism and speed gave him an advantage. Now we’re 3 games into his first basketball season and he is yet to score a bucket. Playing both sports came easy to me but now watching my son I can see basketball takes a lot more skill.

NFL has more roles so it’s easier for NBA players to get into. Can find roles for Zion, Bron, Ant, Amen/Ausar, Dort, Steven Adams, Ja, Mitchell, even Curry due to how good he is moving off ball + his crazy stamina. Basketball has less roles that require high levels of skill & athleticism alone isn’t saving you in the NBA anymore

Ant is correct. I don't see any NFL player making a NBA team, but a few NBA players could probably play in the NFL. Very few though

Antonio gates is a hall of famer who only played basketball college. There drafted baseball player who played QB in the NFL like Tom Brady and Kyler Murray. There are pro Rugby players who play in the NFL Jordan Mailata. What matters most in football is athleticism.

He’s not wrong I’ve seen 6,4 basketball players join the football team in high school and go D1 after two years 😭😂
I'd pay to watch NFL vs NBA all star game
It's almost impossible to play in the NBA
