Pat McAfee vs Austin Rivers... Could 30 NBA players play in the NFL...? Cam Newton breaks it down 

I got it.....NBA all star game, NBA players vs NFL players, and then NFL pro bowl, NFL vs NBA.... I'd watch that😂😂😂😂

Easiest way to put it, football players would simply fail in basketball, basketball players would get seriously hurt in football.

You can play a pick up basketball game ANYWHERE.....Try and set up or find a pick up football game EVERYONE will LOOK AT YOU CRAZY!! 😂😂

“That came out of your mouth uncomfortable” is a line I’m stealing

The problem with Austin Rivers is he walks around like he’s Michael Jordan or Lebron

Wanna just see Austin catch footballs from a juggs machine 😂😂

Has the nba ever had a bo jackson or deion sanders.......nope!!!!

😅😅😂 I forgot my butt pad 1 TIME!!..never again. Shot changed my life lol😅

Exactly Cam The key that Austin missing is Mentality. You gotta be built differently mentally to play 🏈

That’s a team of 30 TE’s 💀

10 reps doing the Oklahoma drill will end this conversation real quick.

Trent Williams chiming in: "Let's see one of you motherfuckers try to get passed me just once"

15:40 I am 41 and play 21 with men half my age. I ain't getting in pads and helmets to play football against those dudes. 😂

I just realized that Cam is a whole other level of cool. When the documentary coming out.

Prime and Bo playing baseball and football is crazy because making contact with that baseball one of the hardest things in sports 😮‍💨

The only person I feel could really give a good take on this is Julius Peppers. He played basketball at a high level at UNC but he was also dominate in football.

Here's what you do: 35 each from the NBA & NFL. 10 teams. Teams of 7. You make it a pick-up league where captains pick whoever they want, teams can be any mix of players. Basketball games can either have real refs, or make it street ball. NFL can potentially have a designated QB playing for both teams (different QB different weeks) or teams provide their own from players selected. Teams wear pads.

NBA players can’t even run up and down the court without getting injured! How the hell u gonna play in the NFL when getting hit damn near EVERY play?!?!

Look up Lonnie Wright....played basketball for the Denver Nuggets and football for the Denver Broncos in the 1970s....at the same time. A black man as well

Everybody forgot fundamentals Football is about blocking and tackling 😂😂😂

Lemon Pepper Lou had the most reasonable remarks out of all the ones they showed here. However, even he shouldn't have said shooting a jumper is more complicated skill than football skills because then you're judging skills and there are more difficult sports than basketball (based on skill). Hitting and pitching baseballs is more difficult (especially at the MLB level).

Make more videos of this length plz

austin rivers take is meaningless until he plays 1 down of a Oklahoma drill with NFL players otherwise shut your mouth buddy.

Charlie Ward baby. Heisman at fsu n starter for knicks

Lou was on point.

Charlie Ward is the only athlete I can remember that had the legit chance to play both NFL and NBA.

18:46 is legendary😂😂😂. I’m the size of Peggy and I feel the same way😂😂😂

9:19 good way to translate it Cam 🔥🔥

No one has mentioned Charlie Ward. NBA player w/ a Heisman

In this conversation let us remember Charlie Ward, Antonio Gates, Tony Gonzalez, Allen Iverson, Micheal Vick, etc. all were ballers in both sports

Perfect take, Cam. Salute from Colli Park GA

The head cushions line 😂

We need a nba vs nfl game in both all star weekends

I played both sports and a lot of others played multiple sports as well. The bottom line if you had a choice between both I'm choosing basketball because they pay more, and their money is guaranteed money. So, think about that. Football players don't have that it's based of incentives.

Demar Dotson was the starting C/PF at Southern Miss before getting to the NFL after only one year playing football at Southern Miss.

Cam did a great job explaining it! Bball player judge you on the skill to score, football players judge you based on your toughness to do it again... that's pretty accurate! All in all both sports take incredible skill and it's just disrespectful to think one could play the other easily💯

If you don’t like Austin’s take thts ok (I think he’s right 30 is crazy) but saying he wasn’t good is just proving his statement. He was the best player at every level of basketball until he got to the NBA thts how good the NBA guys are

Lou Williams hit the nail on the head until he said shooting a basketball is way harder 😂😂😂😂😂😂

Julius peppers Play NCAA basketball final four and played in the Super Bowl

I ain’t going to lie !! Cam for president !!!

Football is skill, bravado, toughness, physicality, smarts, reaction time. Basketball is skill, finesse, confidence, smarts, pace, constant flow of movement. 2 completely different sets of tools put together. Both are to be respected.

Shooting a jump shot is absolutely not harder than standing in that pocket and throwing an accurate pass!!

Austin Rivers is saying there’s 30 guys in the NBA that can play in the NFL but he’s basing his opinion on their size. Just because someone is 6’6 or 6’8 and 250lbs doesn’t automatically mean they can play in the NFL. We’ve seen many big dudes in the NFL get folded in half after being hit so while size is an important factor, it doesn’t mean you can automatically be dropped in the league and play.

The last edit was crazy. Cam said a whole bunch of stuff 😂

This argument is funny as hell 😂😂😂

Pro football players are required to where helmets and pads . NBA shorts and tanks. Alpha vs Beta.

Rs Schedule release is a hell of a thing

My boy Cam with the ghost rider drip 🥶that’s hard my boy

Football is different , NBA is skills football is everything .

I say NBA has a better chance at the NFL at the skilled position WR, TE, DB Jimmy Graham, Gonzales and Gated two HOF and 1 all pro

Who would you rather stand across from on the line in football… Lebron or Ray Lewis… I know what my answer is 🤣🤣🤣🤣

And as tough as AI was in high school, no college would responsibly have picked him up for football to play qb or safety…he was 6 feet tall…he couldn’t see over a line on offense and wouldn’t be trusted in the backfield at safety with his size…but he was a MONSTER on the court

From somebody who played both lou will was the most accurate Them mfs probably wouldn't make it through football PRACTICE let alone a GAME or a SEASON. Foh yall not tough enough

I would have ZERO ISSUE with this take if somebody notable said it. But Austin Rivers??? The player who only played in the league mainly off his dad's name??? Yeah, no.

Cam is spitting facts. I’ve always told people the reason I love football more than basketball it’s because not everyone can play football.

You can't even touch a player on the court without a flop or them crying. How TF they gonna play football?

I just say... listen to Charles Berkeley... that man said he went out there and got hit and took his ass back to the basketball court... and he's a giant dude lol

“NFL is more popular internationally because it’s the most popular sport in America” Spoken like a true American legend 😂😂🦅🦅🇺🇸🇺🇸

Very good show

Remember when Frances Ngannou picked up Shaq and put him on his shoulders like he was a toddler; there are thousands of offensive nfl players that can do that to Shaq on the field, now imagine what the defensive players could do to Shaq.

I can't believe Lou Williams is out here talking like Russel Westbrook isn't playing in the league.. that man just rebounds and dunks which is what every single WR in the nfl would and could do.

Try catching a 55 MPH football while worrying about getting blind sided by a man as big/bigger than you and tell me if that’s harder than making a jump shot lmao

I think the conversation should be, which is more likely, taking a NBA player to the NFL or NFL player to the NBA. Not u can just straight up take 30 players from this sport to that sport, nah that's crazy lol

Cam about to start talk about Football being an Olympic event 🇺🇸

History lesson time… Lonnie Wright was an NBA who got drafted by the Hawks but never signed with them. Instead he decided to play football despite not playing in college. He ended up playing 2 years in the NFL before going back to the NBA. Antonio Gates played college basketball and was told by the NBA he wouldn’t make it because he was considered a tweener. He decided to try out for the NFL despite not playing college football. Not only did he make the NFL, he went on to become one of the greatest players at his position. Those situations could NEVER happen the other way around. Austin was trippin saying 30 players rn could play in the NFL, but there are definitely some. There’s not a single player in the NFL that would even make an NBA roster.

The only player that breaks this whole discussion is Antonio Gates one of the best TE’s to ever play and never played football in college while solely playing basketball. However I do completely agree with the opinion displayed above

One sport you can go straight from high school and one you can… that’s the difference for me 18:50

As a high schooler I was recruited to play an Australian football team of adult men. We dog walked them and we were high schoolers 😂😂😂

I like Cams take football players don’t have the SKILL to play basketball and Basketball players don’t have the frame or toughness to play football

I'm sure you could train a few NBA players to be NFL players and vice versa. Keyword train. The bloodline is still the same. 💪🏾

The part where I think football players have an advantage in this argument when you look at the center position because you can’t tell me somebody like Clint Capela could handle these big offensive tackles, and defensive end boxing him out and putting a body on him in the paint I feel like when it comes to comparisons like that, you can always throw those big offensive tackles and defensive ends in the game and have success when it comes to rebounding paint, defense, and somewhat of scoring because of their strength to back these 200 pound centers down

I think a lot of people forget about Charlie Ward who was the Heisman trophy winner and went to the NBA. I agree. There is not 30 players on either side that would be stars. Respect the sports. Now statistically it may be easier to make a 53 man roster than a 15 man roster but that's it.

Austin Rivers is incredibly wrong and disrespectful.

We should ask Nate Robinson he did both in college

Love Lou’s response

I need to hear Killa and Murda opinion on this 😂😂😂

Interesting enough, Japan has a pretty big American Football scene. And OBJ might make it as a NBA player

When other countries watch football highlights they have the same reaction. “What’s wrong with Americans?” You gotta be a certain type of person to play football. And a lot of those players are raised in the US. No one says the same about basketball because a lot of ppl can do crazy things on the court.

Let go. NFL Pro Bowl fly in 7 NBA players and lets do a 7 on 7 game

I cannot believe I watched this entire video. I agree with Cam from beginning to end. Sure, some can play the other sport, just not to the level as bench players. I think because you can play basketball by yourself or can get a team quick since it doesn't require as many people. Football is more popular due to the amount of games. Look how many international games there are now. Also think how they have an international NFL program. Every team has had at least one international player. Most other sports don't really matter till mid-season since there are soooo many games. besides Christmas Day games, NBA really doesn't start in my world until after NFL season has ended. I was also excited for the schedule today. I love this sport. USA would dominate in football, but it would be harder to get the NFL to agree to let their players participate vs NBA. The summer is training camp and preseason, so that would cut into their time ($$$$). Then when you break down football positions, I think of the Offensive line. I see so many players admit they look up to Trent Williams. And there is only one crazy specimen like Trent. GO Niners!!!!

Definitely the best take I’ve heard. Played ball at UofA and would play pick up games at the Rec and drop buckets until the basketball team would come haha 20 turn 4 real quick. Them boys never wanted to come to the field though, not even 7s

@8:15 facts. And to do it over and over again, play after play, year after year. Iykyk

Cam the only dude with dreads that wears a hat 😂

Cam is right . . . Not everybody can play (football) 💯

Do we have corners and safeties that can do what pat pev does?

Cam is speaking facts and being honest

Good shit Y

When cam said pull out the Super Bowl vs nba number I knew it was up 😭

There's not one that could play in either league.

Why Austin Rivers suddenly bringing popularity and money into it??? Dudes moving the goalpost like crazy

They had an all world football player to play basketball. Allen Iverson, he was quick, and was not afraid to go into the paint. He was also a football god in Virginia. He was going to play football before he got in trouble. John Thompson got him out and told him not to play football again.

Let’s be real… The hardest closed fist punch ever thrown in the NBA is a feather duster compared to a hit from an NFL linebacker.

Mentality is real, we use to play tackle football without equipment back in the day. Ballers sat the asses on the sidelines and watched or played basketball. Lol

They should do skill challenge during an all star weekend

Fun fact. Randy moss is one of the VERY FEW that could have gone to the nba. Jason Williams express that pretty often

They must've forgot about that Jaylen Waddle highlight tape from Bama League Ball lmfao

A lot of people cant also play competitive basketball. As you said it is better to remain respectful

Austin crossed the line on that one . Be blest today. Old school gospel. SM Lockridge.

Lets not make this a NFL vs NBA Thing because NFL Players are way more Athletic than NBA players

I don’t think I heard Austin Rivers put his self on the list
