    I’d like to see the NBA players against the NFL’s best press man cover corners, see if they can get off the line. They wouldn’t be able to. There’s so much skill and technique to this, not just athleticism. I think what he’s saying is athletically, yes, NBA cats can run and jump with NFL athletes, but you can’t down play the craft. Football is an explosive, athletic sport, but it’s also about precision and body control.

    HELLLL NAH!!!!! its easier to go from NFL to NBA then NBA to NFL. There's NOBODY in the NBA that's playing 48 minutes a game homie and NFL players are wearing gear and constantly getting hit damn near at full speed. NBA players get contact, but nothing near NFL players AND NBA plays are on the count in tank tops and shorts. You're talking about NFL linemen, but usually guys in the NFl that played basketball are WR's, TE's, or DB's.

    Zion big but he cannot stay healthy in the nba. I doubt he would make it in the nfl. I see alot those same players flaming out during training came.

    NBA players are soft (think load management), they don't have the toughness to take a hit, in football part of your job is to take mans will. Aside from QB, cornerback is the second hardest position in the NFL. Zion won't be a good pass rusher, an Offensive Linemen would lock him up. Football players would only be able to rebound and be an enforcer, they would not be good scorers. Lebron 'the flopper' won't be able to take a hit from a defensive player. Draymond Green played college football, he had 5'9" DBs locking him up. NBA players are more skilled, NFL players are better athletes.
