This is why I will never understand saying NBA players couldn't play in the NFL.
James Jones and other clowns acting like basketball players all have brittle bone disease. Like Steven Adams or Ben Wallace, for example, would have crumbled after being hit. Maybe they wouldn't be stars, although I think some would, they could play in the NFL.
I was shocked at how explosive Higgins was on the court, but damn.

There is way too much acquired skill in the NBA. What is the greatest determination of being able to make the NBA? Its actually height. They are very athletic for their height but you would be very surprised to learn that most NBA players arent near as athletic as you think.
If a guy could play in the NBA he wouldn't play in the NFL. Simple as that. The best athletes in the world are on NFL rosters. You can get by on almost all athletic ability up to high D1 in football. You better be skilled if you are a basketball player. If you put one of the best athletes in the world on KUs bball roster he couldnt do shit. He would never make it unless he had years to perfect his craft. If you put one of the best athletes in the world on a bottom D1 football roster he automatically makes the team.
The avg NFL DB and WR would blow the absolute doors off almost all NBA players in athletic ability and testing.
The avg NBA player is 6'6" and the avg NFL player is 6'1". How many people do you even see just walking around or know that are 6'6" or taller? You almost never see them. They are so rare so the pool to search through simply is smaller than the pool of 5'11" dudes for great athletic ability.
While overall there is a wider range of athletes in the NFL and the bottom such as some QBs, Kickers and Olineman are very unathletic in general NFL players are more athletic at the top. There are plenty of 5'10" guys sitting at home after their college careers that never made either sport who are super great athletes, too.
