Dan O should stick to farting
😆
This is absolutely amazing 😂😂
That’s the best highlight of his career
🤣🤣🤣🤣
danny dumps
Dan out here chewing his gum and shooting from the hip on the old Twitter Machine…
X machine
X machina
Deus Ex
@@phaZonJJ27 thank you!
Orlovsky got way too comfortable in his analyst role, getting ridiculous
I assume he remains hired because of the amount of clicks the hate gets lmao
They probably told him to start making dumb takes since they are phasing skip out
You know it is his job to get people to watch him and you are doing exactly that. Ya’ll take their opinions way too serious while they’re just laughing all the way to the bank.
It’s the offseason things are getting slow
Pretty sure he does half this stuff on purpose
How tf is nobody talking about DK
Fr he was my easy #1
I was searching for his name
and davante adams.. couldve played college ball im pretty sure
Drew Lock look it up
Itll be your taller receivers/corners that have the best chance. My only concern is height though 6’4’ isn’t super tall for basketball.
Not showing Keon Coleman MSU basketball highlights is diabolical
Ah, dunking on Dan, an age old tradition
I mean it's almost like he's begging for it at this point lol
A tradition as old as time
Derrick Henry? I'd have to see it.
Did everyone forget about Drake London or Kyle Pitts?
Yeah, the way the falcons play no one cares lol
Orlovsky leaving off Anthony Richardson tells you all you need to know.
Drake London! Played at USC and was a 5-star basketball prospect out of HS.
He played touched the court in college tho
@@isaacw6900what does that sentence even mean?
@@redge27tthat he didn’t actually play, he played a total of 6 minutes took and missed 1 shot grabbed 3 rebounds had 2 turnovers and 2 fouls lol which honestly is probably about the most any nfl player would accomplish in an nba game😂
This is such an entertaining and hilarious rivalry between the NBA and NFL.
People always overestimate how good they are at basketball. There's good and then there's NBA good. The skill gap is the size of the grand canyon, I promise you.
that's pretty much any professional sport where they're all underestimated
Exactly, no one in the nfl has ever played enough basketball to just go play in the nba. Say they take 3 full years and focus on nothing but basketball? Play in a lower pro league first? Ok, maybe. But a big maybe.
They say that they can teach anyone to shoot though. If you have the athleticism and body they can make you an nba player
pro athletes are freaks and if given time the skills would translate- it's a time/training that's the difference
If bronny is ready for nba, so is everyone on this list.
George Fant, my man was a conference champion and state champion basketball player. Transitioned after college and became a stud in the NFL just signed another 2year deal this offseason
Only two I can say 100% could've played in the NBA if they focused on hoops are Tee Higgins and Davante Adams.
Even that’s hard to believe. Both the guys like 6’3-6’5 which still makes it much harder to make the nba cause there are still a bunch of people that height in the world. I would honestly say like the 6’8 lineman would have a much better chance due to the size.
@@matthewboyle9571by your standards Stephan curry shouldn’t be in the nba then he’s 6’2 your own argument doesn’t make much sense
Also shame on you for basically disrespecting muggsy bogues, Nate Robinson, spud webb, Chris Paul, John Stockton, Allen iverson, hell even jerry west the nba logo himself
@@matthewboyle9571bad take. offensive lineman arent nimble enough to cover 94 feet, lineman are conditioned to be just that. tae and tee have legitimate basketball background. nowhere near as much of skill gap
chris f*cking jones?? what? 😂
and tyreek?! he’s literally 5’ 8” so how would that work dan? LOL
The Toronto raptors have a guard whose 5’8 what are you talking about?
Btw tyreek is 5’10
@@merccodcompetitiveplayer2184yes but he might literally be the worst player in the league it baffles me how he got a roster spot because he can’t shoot he can’t defend, and he’s not a young prospect necessarily
the real difference is it is so much easier to make an nfl roster than an nba roster. there are 450 nba roster spots and 1760 nfl roster spots. then in the nba you have to compete against people from around the world for those spots, nfl youre competing with almost only americans and then some canadians and other nationalities as well. neither one is easy to do, and there are absolutely incredible athletes in both leagues but its not a fair comparison just based on the numbers
The skill gap between a 2nd string and 1st string is also a lot less than the starters and bench in the nba. Lotta NFL and NBA guys can definitely fill in those 3rd string or bench positions
Sure if you think about the numbers in an incredibly simplistic manner.
In the NFL you have extremely specific requirements for height, weight, proportions etc. That doesn't exist nearly as much in the NBA. You have guys of all sizes playing every position.
That doesn't work in the NFL. If you're too heavy you can't play WR or DB, if you're too tall you are disadvantaged at certain OLine positions. If your arms are too short you literally can't even play certain positions.
It's infinitely harder to make the NFL because of the specific requirements for every position.
Someone who's 6'8 can only play like two positions and one of them would require them to add another 70lbs to their frame most of the time which is totally unrealistic.
@@Chevalier1632you understand the tallest nfl guys would be small forwards. Most nba guards are 6’3 plus that alone wipes out a large portion of the nfl.
@@matthewboyle9571 You understand that the tallest NFL guys outweigh small forwards by like 70 pounds right? Zion is the heaviest player in the NBA and he'd be below average for a DT in the NFL.
Someone who is 6'7 can feasibly play 1-4 on a basketball team, where they'd be shoehorned into one or two positions based on their weight and reach.
There are literally tons of hyperathletic skill position players in the 6'1-6'3 range in the NFL.
@@Chevalier1632 i think you might have some cognitive dissonance on this one. that is just how numbers work, there are almost 4 times as many roster spots in the nfl compared to the nba. and then you gotta compete against men from around the world for nba roster spots, there are way less foreign born players in the nfl.
the average nba player is considerable taller than the average nfl player. height is a normal distribution so the taller the person the more increasingly rare it is. let me spell that out for you, the more rare it is the more difficult it is.
you are so dumb you said "that doesnt exist nearly as much in the nba. you have guys of all sizes playing every position". how many guards are under 6 foot?
how many forwards are under 6'5"?
how many centers are under 7?
what do you mean you have guys of every size playing every position? 99% of the league is over 6 feet tall
Be real. None of these guys could sniff an NBA roster.
Joe Burrow former Mr Ohio Basketball
Putting love for the game to the side, I feel like if any athlete could make the NBA, they would. More money and the contracts are guaranteed.
Unless you play baseball or soccer. They make the same or more money with longer careers.
Probably depends on your definition of "make the NBA." I'd have to imagine there are some NFL guys who could make the bottom of an NBA roster if they took a year or two to practice and transform their bodies. Definitely no NBA superstars in the NFL. The guys who could do it probably ARE making more money in the NFL than the 15th guy on a random NBA team.
Spice Adams aka Cream Biggums
CHRIS JONES?!?!? 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Dan O provides so much fodder for the boys!! Love u Dan O!!!!
Amonra is 5'11 lmao
There’s been tons of players shorter
@@k1ng_chamberlainTons is a strong word. Not very many, and the ones who did play were EXTREMELY skilled.
@@k1ng_chamberlainyes but why does that mean this guy would be good in the league, like where is the logic in the pick?
@@wolfwang8464 insane athleticism Just projecting talent
@@k1ng_chamberlain Sure, athleticism is one thing but hand-eye coordination, on-court IQ, awareness, hustle, passing, and rebounding are also all big parts of the game.
I think he meant these players are athletic enough to play nba not if the are skilled enough
JJ Watt playing against middle schoolers like Katt Williams lol
Myles Garrett, Arik Armstead, Tee Higgens, Mike Evans, Puka Nacua, Brandon Aiyuk, Justin Jefferson, Cj Stroud, Cooper Dejean, Jalen Ramsey, Aiden Hutchinson, Justin Fields, DK Metcalf…. And I’m sure there’s afew no name guys in the league who are cold hoopers
Can't forget Maxx Crosby too
If they didn’t play college hoop there’s a 0% chance they could ever play in the NBA. Less than 1% of NCAA players go pro. Stupid argument 🤷♂️
Devonta Smith was insane, check his highlights
Legitimately all of these guys getting cooked by Fred Van Vleet. Not even a conversation
@@BrianSmith-ek1xn I agree, won’t argue that at all. That’s whats supposed to happen. He’s in the nba . But literally every nba player getting cooked by Gabe Davis in football. See how easy that is? Lol
Clearly this discussion will never result in an 11 on 11 game however how about an NBA versus NFL seven on seven tournament and an NBA versus NFL basketball tournament?
I’d love to see Giannis try playing TE
Walking TUD
Lmao imagine if he played during the time of ray lewis and he tries to catch a 3 yard flat route in Lewis’s zone. Lolllllllll😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@JspekRexright especially with how injury prone he’s been lately. Dudes are delusional. No NFL right now would make an NBA roster. No NBA player would make an NFL roster. Austin Rivers said that 💩 for no reason.
@@JspekRex right, but you could say that about most receivers today, too. That's why they got rid of those hits.
As a 6'6" guy who CANT dunk, I'm offended lol
Isaiah Thomas catching strays🤣
Buckner,wilkins,Herbert lol
Bryan Thomas Jr was a standout basketball player too
basketball is obviously more geared towards conditioning. however football is way more physical and tedious. yes players rest in between plays but calling and or not executing the right play can be way more detrimental. a dropped pass can seal the game as where missing 50% of your shots isnt. I feel like 80% of basketball players could transition based on athletic ability and maybe previous game knowledge. however most wouldnt be able to make it a full season in the NFL. no rest days like in the NBA and getting tackled full speed by players 250lbs +. forget about it.
Good take here
Not 80% but a solid amount could.
yeah, football is discipline and coordination with ten other guys executing a set of set parameters, basketball is sometimes like that but a lot of the time it's just 1-on-1 contests and making a lot of your own calls, adapting on the fly. It's really a fundamental difference, that's a good take. I don't know that 80% of dudes in basketball could suit up even initially for the NFL but I know it's a smaller number from NFL to NBA. If we assumed that whoever it is gets a year or something to train, either bulk up or cut weight, then I think there's probably a set of guys in the NFL with a good shot to at least get a two way deal (which I think is reasonable given the relative size of NFL rosters). But I do think generally there are going to be more NBA guys with the potential to make an NFL roster. A ton of these guys in both sports played everything growing up, so a lot of the NBA guys got tackled plenty in high school and many in college. Obviously a season long grind getting tackled by professional killers is different, but 82 games at a higher level of cardio with back-to-backs and 3 games in 4 nights is different as well.
Drake London, Keon Coleman maybe hopkins, maybe even Myles Garrett, but that's it
Drew Lock look it up
I like how the McAfee show just made this slow news week WAY better with this nothing burger argument. 😂😂🤣
The amount of people who get pissed at some of dans obvious trolling is hilarious😂
There’s a reason why there’s a celebrity basketball game and not football game.
6-5 Drake London was on the USC hoops team. 6-4 Sam Darnold is still a very good point guard.
Dans list reminds me of when i saw family i havent seen in a while would say, "you're tall you must be a basketball player" I'm a 6'2" white guy who cant even dribble a ball.
Tee Higgins ranked 15th ranked in his state? City? Definitely not in the country
Dan looks like Dennis from always sunny in Philadelphia!
Some athletic qbs cpuld be the one who can actually shoot good enough to be on a squad, Herbo has game and it's actually 6'6.
Forealz, Herbert literally has video lol
No chance 30 NFL players could make the NBA and play meaningful minutes.
Here's what I never understand....are we taking these players back to high school and focusing on a different sport or taking them out of their current league today and putting them in a different sport? That changes the conversation.
Most trolling thing dan has ever done.
Lol no Tae Adams is insanity
Anthony Richardson not making the list is crazy
I don’t think nfl players realize the difference between the defense in the nfl and nba. Ramsey trying to lock down anthony edwards while moving at high speeds to then get posterized would be too funny and embarrassing
I agree with you but if anyone would be able to play defense in the nba it would probably be Ramsey. Don’t forget he is a world class athlete and could probably be in the Olympics if he focused on track. I’m not saying he could play on the nba but just playing defense 1v1, he could probably hold his own. Him being a db and having to constantly switch his hips is all defense is
Nah bro Ramsey would be a LOCKDOWN point guard. His lateral movement and hip mobility would allow him to stay with anybody.
@@boatsanhs9709 and then guys would just just shoot over him because he's too short
@@youngobes a good defender will make an impact enough to affect a shot no matter the height
@@boatsanhs9709 not when the offensive player is 4+ inches taller
TJ watt can jump. He has hops 🤷🏻♂️😂
The difference is you could not put a full football team together from NBA players that is good enough to play in the NFL. Who's going to play OL? You could put a full basketball team together from NFL players.
This is a take a step OB in the back of the end zone kind of take…
He's a clown
Cooper Dejean would smoke every single person on this list. This dude eats breaths & sleeps sports. Particularly Football & Basketball. He also plays baseball & did track & field. The dude is an animal & will be an absolute weapon for the Eagles. No wonder so many are upset at the Eagles this offseason.
How’s it taste?
The fact that they said Tyreek hills the fastest man on the planet tells you all you need to know
only ones ik for sure is Tee Higgins, CJ Stroud, & Chris Jones lol
Any answer other than DK is a robbery😂😂
Shooting a basketball requires much different skills than playing football. While football is objectively more dangerous, basketball requires a higher level of skill and dedication imo
It’s funny how this video literally proves Rivers Point! All these dudes are ballers who chose football 🤣🤣
Do you realize nba player will get injured in the first game
Room temp iq
@@Browndogrulesno
lol everybody’s idol iverson chose basketball over football cause basketball was softer
@Browndogrules the only argument you have is physicality. But the argument is who's the better athlete. But football players only have 1 job to do on either offense or defense and 20 minutes is the actual time of action being played. So you're talking about only 10 minutes once a week. You got NBA players playing 40 + minutes a game for 3 times a week. Some even play all 82 games
It's not that the NFL players couldn't have played in the NBA if they decided to go that route at a younger age, it's that most these players (even the elite of the elite athletes) won't have the experience to give them the requisite ball skills to play in the NBA. It definitely would be easier to teach technique to be a receiver than a ball handler or shooter. Would the NBA player be an all-pro receiver? No but they could serve a role in an offense based purely on athleticism.
No defense, huh?
@@Bronk0Nagurski we could have a hypothetical argument all day. I only used receiver as an example because I think it would be the simplest transition
They are also completely different builds. I think Average nba height is 6' 5"-6'6" that is tall in football. And football players are so much heavier
@@IwotchVid3ozsaftey would be pretty easy as well. Most hoopers would have have elite ball skills playing football
@@darnellclemm135 Please, outside of Minnesota's suffocating defense right now against the Nuggets, anytime a smaller guard was going out for a pass he'd be met with a hard hit. I do think Zion, just based off his own athleticism and sheer size and agility for a big man, would be the best to transition into the NFL as a defensive End. Maybe a Linebacker too, but he'd have to actually be able to read the field and know what his job is on the field.
I love how they just roast Orlovsky for his awful takes every time he comes on 😂
Chris Manhertz blocking TE been on a lot of teams caught a touchdown from Christian McCaffery and Trevor Lawrence’s first TD pass played D1 basketball at canisius college
Dan's tweet is going over like a fart on live television.....
Tee Higgins with crazy hops.
My thing with this debate is why would an nfl player play a sport where there is less guaranteed money and more potential for injury if they could play in the NBA?
Height would be a huge issue for most of those guys, almost everyone on his list is a PG or SG height. Some of them probably could have made a roster but still being able to after stepping away from the sport would be extremely difficult.
Tyreek???maholmes??? Lamar??? Lov ya dan but I dont think you understand how height works 😂😅😂😅😂
TEE Higgins is the best athlete to come out of East Tennessee since Todd Helton 💯💯💯
NBA VS NFL upcoming this year at the NBA ALL-STAR game SOOOOOOOOON
Give me Puka at PG. Guy was unreal in HS and tore it up in the NBA All star game.
Is safety dan’s own name on there? Orlofsky is a joke! 😂😂😂
Think of all of the crazy amazing basketball players who don’t make it in the league. No one is switching over from NFL and making it.
Pretty sure Richard Sherman and DK Metcalf were pretty good at basketball
I’ll say this tho. The greatest lock down defensive point guard ever probably just played football.
Tyreek and CMC are crazy takes 😂
IT slander! He signed a 10 day with the suns, and signed for the remainder of the year and playoffs for them, he sat on the bench while beal fouled out he could have made a difference in the series, the suns needed a PG!
He forgot Jefferson.. jj been a baller 🔥🔥🤣💯
Do people forget Tom Brady played with MJ? With his fire, he could be Mark Price at least
Honestly, I think the easiest argument for this is that a higher percentage of NFL players have played high school or college basketball compared to the percentage of NBA players playing high school or college football
For real though dunk contest between NFL and NBA would be sick NFL might win it'd be better then the regular NBA dunk contest
All of these highlights of NFL greats playing basketball are guys barely getting the ball over the rim. NBA players jump over Shaq, they pretty routinely hit their heads on the backboard. Exactly zero NFL players would get in that dunk contest because they'd look like a 5-year-old getting clowned by his uncle.
Tee Higgins need to be there
If you can make the NBA and the NFL choose the NBA. you can make way more money and have more control
Making that list and not putting Jimmy Grahm is hilarious
College is full of 'great' bball players who couldn't get a sniff at the G League. These guys would be YMCA kings, and not much more. Laughable.
Raw athleticism doesn’t just translate to another pro league. The only exception I can think of is that I think Lebron would’ve been a great NFL TE but that’s a unique case
Big Mo Cox played in college, easily needs to be on that list
NFL vs NBA both sports All Star weekends
0 chance any NFL player that’s 250+ and 6’5 or under has any chance seeing the NBA! Who they guarding?😂
Tee Higgins was super tough on the court
A lot of big dtackles and linebackers can be patrick beverly. Cant shoot, cant dribble but can play defense
That goal of JJ dunking is 8 FT tall 😂😂 it’s the black top court right next to the Toyota center in Houston that’s so ironic y’all asked him that lmao
This is stupid Higgins maybe…. But several 4 star high-school players dont make it to the nfl
Missing Big Bad Brad Johnson from that list
I mean it's mostly all about size.
Find 52 NBA players and play against a college football team. Find 15 NFL guys and go play college ball. Promise yah, NFL players will succeed further. It’s hard to find NBA players that can be Linebackers, Olines, Dlines, QB, kicker and RB’s.
devontae smith for philly. Hes got the body type and can legit hoop and not full of muscle like DK Metcalf. Most receivers probably have a shot but D Smith got my vote!
He's 6 foot tall he would have to be one of the most skilled basketball players in the world
@@mindyourbuisness8104 rest of the guys I can think of weigh too much
Did he throw Mahomes on that list? He made a list of 30 NFL players he thought NBA players would know
List isnt *that* bad. Smitty, Micah, Myles, Jalen, CMC, Stroud, Wilson, Sauce are known ballers
Daniel Jones can hoop, he should have chose that over qb
Justin Herbert can actually ball. Well dunk atleast
Myles Garret would be trash in the NBA. Imagine a guy a inch taller than Steph curry, just hella yoked can’t shoot at a nba level, can’t rim protect, can’t out jump anyone, just a guy that can dunk on fast break and box out.
Anything Myles Garett can do…TJ Watt can do better than
