My thoughts on this NFL/NBA conversation from Austin Rivers going on the Pat McAfee The NFL would produce a better NBA roster than the NBA would in the NFL

@AustinRivers25 @PatMcAfeeShow Nobody in the NFL is locking up Anthony Edwards 1 vs 1 in hoops. But id bet my money he could catch a pass on some NFL DBs. He’d be AJ Brown if he was a WR but 2 inches taller lol

@AustinRivers25 @PatMcAfeeShow Jalen Ramsey is an NBA starter today

@AustinRivers25 @PatMcAfeeShow Damn will… hard to be this wrong… nba athletes r bigger and faster right now. Love how great nfl athletes r but average nfl player is 6’2 245/6’6 220

@AustinRivers25 @PatMcAfeeShow “Scottie Barnes gets the ball”

@AustinRivers25 @PatMcAfeeShow I think he is talking about skill though. It’s easier to catch a ball compared to shooting. NFL players def have the physical game by a long shot. But it’s because nfl has so many different types of positions compared to basketball that makes it easier for them to swap to the nfl

@AustinRivers25 @PatMcAfeeShow The point will’s making is the totality of the season. No way today’s NBA player makes it through an NFL training camp and 18 week season with no off days, no load management and having to play hurt. An NFL player would look at the NBA season as a vacation.

@AustinRivers25 @PatMcAfeeShow Better roster to do what?? Get blown out ? Both sides would There’s data of people playing in the nfl who never played college ball. There is no data of a college football player making the league. Think of that Brian Scalabrine Quote. Thats how deep the league is.

@AustinRivers25 @PatMcAfeeShow An all NFL player starting 5 in the NBA would be much more successful than an all nba player starting 11 in the NFL. That’s all I’ll say.

@AustinRivers25 @PatMcAfeeShow These same NBA guys miss 3 weeks with a stiff neck… meanwhile you have players playing on torn ACLs…

@AustinRivers25 @PatMcAfeeShow Football players play football bc they can’t play basketball
