interesting to hear nfl players talk about nba players
is it easier to go from nba to nfl or vice versa
starts @:55
It's harder to go from the NFL to NBA than vice versa. Only thing they talk about is injury related and playing through injuries because football players have to due to the nature of their contracts.
NBA players have more bargaining power and leverage that's why they can sit out they do, and part of the reason they have that leverage is because it's harder to replace a superstar NBA player. Kawhi can sit out the way he does because the Clippers can't just draft another Kawhi in the draft any year and get the same production. Only position on a football field that isn't easily replaceable are elite quarterbacks and it's only like 5-8 of them.
They never once mentioned height because if they went down that rabbit hole their whole argument would fall apart.
