Theirs some random MLB scrub that washes Rivers out money wise. Money different in every sport. Jones not struggling to feed his family. Jones peak as an nfl player exceeded Rivers. Rivers stuck around but considering his high school hype and draft position he was a disappointment.

What random MLB scrub made 57 million. I thought the top of the top MLB players made more not the scrubs


The average MLB salary was 4.9 million while the avg nba salary was 9.7 mil

Rivers peaked in high school. He always brings up his H.S., ranking, and Fiba under 18 team.

Nah, when you resort to money over an argument, you lost the argument. They're all millionaires, but James Jones can also say he's a champion if you want to make it about something rather than the argument itself.

At the end of the day, Rivers had a weak argument. There are not 30 NBA players who can play in the NFL.

How brutally strong and athletic NFL athletes are compared to the NBA is really understated. Shaq being maybe the strongest player the league has ever seen really shows enough, nearly every average offensive and defensive linemen in the league can lift more than Shaq.

Shaq said the most he's eve bench pressed was 450 lbs., but there's no video proof of that.
Meanwhile multiple NFL athletes can put up 600 lbs. on the bench press, while some have done 700 lbs. with verified proof.

A lot of NFL players are also elite wrestlers. Many were state champions.
Multiple NFL players played in or got drafted into the MLB.
Many were all state soccer players.
Mentally, you got M.I.T Math professors, Engineers, etc. who've stepped foot on an NFL field.
WWE, acting, music, military, etc.
shyt, NFL athletes got a trillion times more rhythm as dancers than NBA players.
These guys are athletes among athletes and among the peak humans on this planet. On average NBA players are just good at basketball because they're taller, the average NFL player is more diverse and all-around special.

You can "play" basketball going at full speed, but you can't really "play" NFL going at full speed. The contact is almost like "playing" boxing or MMA, you can't really do that. One hit can end it all and change your life.

NFL players at any point can jump on a basketball court with pros hold their own with NBA players going at full speed and full contact. They'll do so over the off-season at any time.

Can you say the same about an NBA player in a real full-contact NFL game?

I think NFL players would hold their own much closer than NBA players jumping on an NFL field at full speed, real hits and all. NBA players however would never jump on a football field going full contact imo, meanwhile NFL players always jump on basketball courts.

Shaq struggling with 405 (even had a tough time with 315), now this is past his playing days, but nonetheless remember some NFL linemen push 600-700lbs.

Charles was using fake weights.

People used to freak out when Shaq threw a punch. Imagine Penei Sewell throwing a punch at you.

There's a big difference.

Making the NBA is harder purely due to the numbers game of having the least roster spots
No fukking chance is it harder to make at the macro level than MLB

Making the NBA is not the hardest league to make because of athleticism, its harder because it's a league where height is heavily relied on. Theres not many 6'6 and above people walking on the planet.

still had a 11 year nba career and made nearly 50 mill

higher picks have done less
Austin Rivers was only a full-time starter one year and thats when he played for his daddy. Dude averaged 8 points a game a below average shooter, a below average 3-point shooter, and a below average free throw shooter.

So talk about how much bread you got or your status when your point is invalid. Typical nba shyt. 1st shaq now austin.
his point was kind of sort of valid though. several collegiate level basketball players have transferred to football and have gone to the nfl........ off the top of my head, i havent seen the reverse. but even if seen, is it as much as we have seen former basketball players go into the nfl? hell the nfl has signed rugby guys and soccer dudes too if i recall.
