No NBA player could play in the NFL. It actually takes strength. Something a high school kid does not possess. That's why the NFL rule is 3 years post high school graduation for eligibility vs. the NBA rule of 18 years old.
Little kids have no business playing against grown men. You think that lebron, kobe or kevin garnett could line up and deal with getting his head taken off by james harrison or julius peppers? Even if they played defense, they would get shot put across the field by the left tackles trying to rush the passer.
But i guess you grew up playing with dolls and avoiding the weight room, so you have a natural affinity for women's games.
Man... such built up frustration over the TIgeddon.
Dude... just because someone disagrees with you doesn't mean you have to get so snarky.
Emotions aside, I do think there are NBA players strong enough to play in the NFL, but I already ceded that NFL is the roughest of the 3 sports. However, all around athleticism, *in my opinion*, goes to the NBA. Sure, not every position in the NFL can play in the NBA and vice versa but it's not impossible. But if you're going to tell me the MLB is more "manly" (what I read as "athletic"), I can't agree.
This reminds me of another forum that was arguing Hockey vs. Football as the "toughest" sport. And the pro-ice (ie Canadians) were arguing that linemen could not put on skates, while the helmet heads (ie Americans) were saying that no hockey player could outrun a receiver. You can't really compare by position, but overall, football is "tougher" because every play someone is hitting someone and one of the main goals of the game is to tackle the guy with the ball.
So I submit that not only is basketball more athletic than baseball, but it's also tougher because there is more physical contact between opposing players. Posting, boxing out, setting screens is much more physical than you think, and happens constantly throughout the game, more than the occasional blocking the plate, sliding into the baseman.
And if you think insulting my masculinity helps your argument... have at it. Don't know how long you've been here before your NQ/TD username, but you'll find that the IndieDev method has little effect on me.
Did you eat a chimichanga?
