I can take 30 players...

I can find 30 players off the street for both leagues so what's the point?

I don't think it would be an issue to find 30 players in the NFL who could take the ball to the hoop, take 10 steps and knock out everyone who is in there way without a travel call and then whine about about every play, flop whenever they are touched and act like a complete arrogant, entitled baby on and off the court. Totally unwatchable sport, would not be bragging about the players in that league when most of them are a complete embarrassment.

Will those 30 NBA players be able to walk off the field? THAT is the question.

WTF is THAT about? LOL.

I would definitely pay to see Lebitch get drilled by a LB running full speed, he cant play the game he plays without crying about every single contact not initiated by him.....how would he ( and most the other players ) handle getting drilled on about every play?

This is has been a talker for decades, I dont remember who it was, but about 20 years ago an NBA guy was asked outright if he thought he could play in the NFL, he said very matter of factly NO, he couldnt have handled the physicality, and this was back when the NBA was actually still a little physical. ( It might have been Barkley, but I am not sure )

Seriously, have you watched an NBA game?  If so, when is the last time you have seen traveling called and how many steps do you actually get, guys are starting from the top of the key without dribbling the ball again.  Also what is foul?  Basically from what I can tell, it is when team whines more than another and then they have to stop the game for 15 minutes to go to replay to make a call that has no merit.  No way you would find 30 NBA players who are tough enough to play in the NFL.

A lot of whining about whining. I'm not a huge NBA fan, but I do watch the playoffs. I just don't see what you see I guess. Do they whine? What athlete in what sport doesn't? Do you really want the refs to blow the whistle for every extra half step on the way to the basket? I don't think you would, any more than you'd want DPI called on every DB who grazes a receiver's jersey, or every pass rusher whose momentum carries him into the QB. If it's inconsequential, don't call it. Let em play. 

Sorry about your Wolves tho. Truly I am. 

I think there’s a pretty large number of guys in both sports that just have incompatible body types for both sports. Obviously, the short guys and the fat guys will probably struggle in basketball and the super tall guys will struggle in football. The lanky guys probably get limited to WR/CB and need to be super fast. The 6’2-6’7 super athletic guys will probably work for both sports.

That said, I doubt very many athletes can just get dropped in another sport and dominate without tons of practice, because they’re competing against guys that have just as ideal amount of athleticism and also a ton of experience.
