How come dudes can pickup football really late and make the NFL, but not the NBA?

[A.K]

Tim duncan started playing real late I think he was like 17

Huh.....every team sport has replaceable parts.

Dribble, pass or shoot.

Every NFL team adds at least 10 new players every off season NFL drafts take 2 days to complete

They literally have specific positions the league refer to as skill position I promise most NFL players would be in the NBA if they could

Injury rates in sports.....check it out.
The average height in NBA is 6'7''
The average height in NFL is 6'1''

Go figure...

Average sports salaries (in mil)-
NBA 7.7
IPL 5
MLB 4.5
EPL 4
NFL 3 (16 game season plus maybe 3 post season games)

Who gets paid more per game ?

[llll]

The nfl is a lot easier because jeremy lin isn't in it.

Look what happened to the raptors when you put jeremy lin on a decent team- steph curry couldn't do shlt.

When the NFL players tried to go on strike the league didn't bother to shut down and signed replacement players off the streets

You think the NBA, MLB or EPL can do that? It's just a matter of fact that NFL is not a skill based sport outside of QB and maybe running backs but they are not that relevant anymore

Fair enough coaches matter more because every play is scripted players are basically actors memorizing lines where in other sports certain level of creativity are required from the players more talents


Memorizing play book is not a skill btw

Forget the plays in that book and you're out of a job.

BTW, how popular is basketball in comparison to other American team sports ???

So.....

Most NFLers aren't tall enough to try for NBA.
Most NBAers won't do NFL because they're too fragile.

Pretty simple.

What's so difficult about basketball ?!?!?

Dribble, pass or shoot.

whats so difficult about football, just run
