I’m bout to look up some shyt
Definitely don’t doubt it but I don’t like how basketball nikkas make basketball seem like the more difficult sport in this discussion cuz it’s really not lol
Just far more political and height based
he might be right, but mainly because pro bball requires a high level of shooting and handling skills which takes decades to become elite at. however, the same can be said for football from the aspect of reading sets, executing routes, knowing basically where everyone on the field will be once a play is in motion. athletically speaking it's mostly a wash because all pro athletes are physically gifted even if it doesn't look like it.

Now he could definitely play
But most Bball players would have to be receivers or CB’s or something. Maybe TE.
If they played before and can get hit
Charlie Ward won a Heisman in football too.
Lebron played in HS I think, AI played, etc.
But he is correct. Only new football dude I think playing right now is Anthony Edwards
There's around 450 players in the NBA and around 1700 in the NFL. I think he's right
NBA players can play QB, WR, TE, CB, and LB. Any NFL player under 6’2 is going to have a hard time scoring against the trees that are NBA players. On paper the argument favors NBA players having it easier but you gotta factor in reading plays, and being and to tackle and consistently take a hit. Everything you plays a factor.

Most NBA players would get folded up quick. Gates, Gonzalez, Peppers... all them dudes is thick
