NBA players also get more public recognition because they don't wear facemasks
Yu Toob so
NBA is a global game, NFL isn’t.
CN Hsu do you realize what you just said
Logan Lee two of the biggest populated countries in the world China and India follow NBA way more than NFL. Numbers speak buddy 😉
CN Hsu well yeah I'm just saying. The whole national thing in NBA you know 😉👍. Just found it ironic lol
Ray confused as to why you can't tackle people in basketball😂😂😂
Lmao
🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Lolol
Omg😂
NBA: Guaranteed contracts, more face exposure (more ads, popularity, women, etc), more games, more rest, less prone to injury, WAY MORE MONEY. Yes, NBA > NFL.
Henry C idk about more rest 82 games
The competition is fiercer, the schedule is packed, even with all that money they have way less free time to enjoy it, as there are constant practice and training as well
More rest? How? The NBA has multiple games a week as opposed to just one game a week in the NFL, on top of that the season is longer as well.
MORE REST AND LESS PRONE TO INJURY WHATTTTTT 🤦🏽♂️
82 games.... all I got to say
Yunan exactly that basketball life addictive
more games = more revenue = more money for the players.
It really isn't that hard.
Edward Cho boils down to 52 men rosters v. 15 man. Also, NBA players CBA navigation has always been superior to NFL CBA
Insane but hey I'm not mad at them lol
Not to mention fewer players to pay
The reason reason, Mr. Uninformed Jack, is that the roster size in the NFL is distributed between 5 times the amount of players. And their CBA is shittier.
Also smaller roster sizes which means more money going to a smaller number of players
NFL players union need people who can negotiate, NBA players have the best organised union of any major sports in the US.
Edward Cho whats harder to pay big money, 22 starters or 5? Some nba 2nd strings make more than nfl starters....
It's a lot harder to get into the NBA. There's 15 guys in each NBA squad. 30 teams means there's 450 jobs each year. In the NFL theres 32 teams with about 50 guys in each squad, thats 1600 positions. When you factor in basketball is a genuine world sport play all over the planet and there's millions of players from all over the world is trying to get in you can see why they're paid more
Gorionward I agree, NFL is a domestic sport no one cares about NFL outside the US. Basketball is played and watched all over the world. The NFL is a niche sport compared to the NBA worldwide.
No. I'm comparing spots between NFL vs NBA. You can see how NBA spots are harder to secure. The best of the young stars in European leagues are looking to get an nba contract.
MLB has the best union.
NFL players have way less games, a shorter season, no crazy road trips with having long travel times and a game the same day, not as star driven so most players don't have to deal as much with the price of fame, oh yeah and there are way more roster spots in the NFL meaning it is so much easier to make a NFL team than it is to make a NBA team.
They also get paid WAY less, suffer worse and longer lasting injuries, have to deal with a commissioner that acts like Hitler, and are under a bigger microscope than the majority of NBA players.
Revy's Bitch I'm just playing devil's advocate because Colin wasn't arguing with anything Ray said.
Harry Garris but not guaranteed contacts
Harry Garris The NFL season is one very very grueling. There is a reason why they only have 16 games. It is common sense.
Noor Faruqi I get that but what does saying that you're jealous of NBA players accomplish? Yeah there are things the NFL could do like eliminate thursday night games but the players have gotten into this cycle of complaining about everything that bothers them. And there's always something to complain about no matter where you work.
I do think NBA players are more favored then football players they let them be themselves while football is more risk less reward let's be honest
Edward Cho d league makes 10,000 a year but I think they have GREAT benefits
I hope you're saying less reward very lightly. The reward might be less than basketball and especially because of the work football requires from someone but a couple million dollars a year or more in many cases is still an extreme amount.
Edward Cho LMAO D LEAGUE MAKES BELOW POVERTY LEVEL SALARY.PRACTICE SQUAD IN THE NFL MAKES 200k+ guaranteed
Also The NBA doesn't have a dictator for a commissioner like Roger Goodell.
The NFL is an army. The head of the Army normally acts in a dictatorial fashion.
The NBA is not an Army. It's a boy scouts association. No need for a dictator to run that kind of show.
Calle10 Videos I cant tell if your complimenting the nfl or not. Because I don’t think it’s a compliment to be under dictatorship. I’d rather be lebron in the nba where if I don’t play no ones watching rather be Lamar Jackson and if i don’t play people still watch.
Stop crying
@@lancey8366 I'd rather be Tiger Woods for all that matters. Look at the end of the day dont compare one to the other cause like I said they are 2 different *worlds*
@@lancey8366 Not only that but your comparison of Lebron James and your desire to be him versus Lamar Jackson is an unfair and unbalanced equation. If you want to compare Lebron James to anybody in the NFL there is only one name that meets the standard and his name is Tom Brady. And Im a Broncos fan but if I had to choose one I'd be Tom Brady in a heart beat 😂😂😂
Lmaoo Nfl players take the planes 8 times a year.... and have weeks to rest... Nba players takes the planes up to 5-6 times a week.. and play 4 to 5 games
As far as money goes, NBA and MLB are the way to make it. You can play 15 years in either league. they're also the 2 highest paying leagues on average.
AeroCurrent soccer is #1
Rene Junior football isn't even close to number 1, mate. Golf and Formula 1 stars earn by far the most in the sports world, followed my MLB due to the lack of a salary cap, then by the NBA, then by football (or soccer as you call it) and then finally the NFL.
Rene Junior No. Nba is highest paid, on average. Just a fact.
MrGooner92 formula one don't make more money than soccer in Europe soccer leagues mlb nba is the highest paying sports
kay jay no Europe soccer leagues mlb nba are the highest paying sports
basketball is international. I don't now who he is, but I now who Embid and Zaza is. No dis but no one watch nfl but Americans, everyone love's basketball...
Stefan Milosavljevic your point is?
Wes Hardin that basketball is international.
Chillax Wtf are u talking about?!?? I'm Canadian and we do have interest in the NFL!! in fact we have our own football league called CFL
KBTITAN-24 funny thing is all the places he mentioned all have football teams
Chillax Australia doesn't watch nfl wtf you talking about
"I met my wrastlin coach." - Ray Lewis
Wrestling is way tougher than b ball but it's a different kinda tough
I hate when people compare these sports. They both have there beauties and imperfections. You've hit the genetic lottery if you can play either at a professional level. Me personally i think basketball is a little harder to play because your greatness has more to do with your own talent, hence why football is probably the ultimate team game. But i love and appreciate them both. Russell Westbrook is just as much a freak as Odell Beckham. Just appreciate guys.
@Jordan Kidman that's because for some positions like running back, it helps to be shorter. But yes I think basketball is harder
Not always about genetics. Kids who had parents that coached become great players as well! They start playing earlier and they have a better chance being in a position to succeed! Know a lot of fast strong, big dudes who work 9-5s also see people who were less gifted but they worked hard and developed unique skills that give them an advatage!
i like basketball but baseball is my favorite. mlb just doesnt know how to make the game more entertaining
How are NBA players supposed to get rest during the week Ray? They play 3-4 games a week.
YayforMe Luigi lol they play like 30 minutes a game
@@elchucofried5683 lol I can say the same for the nfl
Offense and defense are two different teams so imagine if in a perfect game of 60 mins offense played 40 mins of that....nba plays 30 mins a game but x that by 3 to 4 games a week and that is 90 to 120 mins of game time in one week and that is not including the training days for the nba Player
@@mikeysrightleg1880 You have to add to the equation the punishment of an NFL game that a player is subjected to. There is a reason they only play once a week and that so many players are on non-guaranteed contracts.
Cycle of Life true bro, id rather get hard fouled than get hit by a LB 😳😳
elchucofried 30 minuets of sprinting up and down the court. Football you only play half the game and sometimes don’t even exhaust any energy unless the play is called for you or the play is coming to you
making the NBA is much harder than making the NFL.
Says who
Yeah says who there both equally hard
@@splashbrossports9749 there are only 450 roster spots in the entire NBA and there are 1696 roster spots in the NFL, and the nba only has 15 roster spits per team and there are only 30 teams in the nba compare that to the NFL’s 53 roster spots each out of its 32 teams. In conclusion its harder to get into the NBA than the NFL
@@lvr6114 don’t explain to idiotic people who love them some football
Lol all the jealousy and hatred about the nba dude
Is so cool that every time I see a video of Ray Lewis speak I learn something. It’s interesting to hear the inside of teams and sports and how players feel about each other and stuff.
Ray Lewis trying to shoot shade at Lebron. ..
NBA has more audience since its basketball and relates to a lot of people around the world comparing to NFL.
football players have what, like 1/5 the amount of games in the same time as the nba?
its not really comparable.
i dont thikn lebron would rest games for the sake of rest if he had week long breaks between games too as opposed to back to backs
PSArino kripperino Ya I understand, NBA players don't have it easy ether. I think that's where they balance each other out. NBA players are alot better paid on average then any other sport. But its a lot harder to make it into the NBA then it is the NFL.
OverLordthe 1st actually soccer players get paid better than basketball players
its MeekProdigy21 nope I thought that too trust me i use to always think soccer made way more money than nba but in reality with the consistent Salary cap raising almost every 3-4 years in the nba things have changed dramatically a regular average player makes more than a regular average player in soccer ! Look at lebron for example 3 years 100$ million back then in 2004-2005 when i was young you'd be getting 100$ million in 5-6 years now things changed dramatically cause of the international success and 5 out of 10 the average North American Child Will want to play basketball so thats 50% of north americans so that means the other 50% is split between Baseball & Hockey & Football & Soccer .. so do the math ..thats preety a small percentage but then again you have a way more of a lesser chance to make it to the nba than any other sport so most of these guys who usually dont make it go try other alternatives before it gets to late such as NFL CFL OR MLB Or they just get a carreer and live normal and happy! But ya now things r different i wouldnt be surprise if 100 years from now NBA becomes the number 1 sport in the world .. but ya NBA Make Big Bank way more than most soccer players
id rather be tackled 16 times if it meant not coming with the fatigue of a 82 game season. and its not just about fatigue its also about each individual game mattering less in the nba than in the nfl.
PSArino kripperino it only takes one tackle to end your career... special if from a solid 260 pounds linebacker... you are more prone to get injured in football, than basketball.. Thats why there are only 16 games in the NFL
If I was Colin, i'd have to agree with Ray on this. Not because he's right, but because Ray has already murdered two guys and I wouldn't want to be the third.
Lmfaoooo
Lmao XD
ryan he would be In jail :]
He never murdered anyone.

Jealousy is a weak trait and Football
Players are jealous of basketball players in general. So much for them being tough
Ok Jordan Peterson🤓
unfortunately you can't play football at that level as often as you can play basketball. if you could they would have and 82 game season too and make even more money
Agreed. If NFL players had to play as many games as NBA players, they wouldnt last 1/3rd of the way through the season without serious injury.
nba make way more money lol look at Solomon hill making 11 mil. a year that's more then 80 percent of the NFL make
No the nfl makes more money but they have a lot more players to play and they also have a hard salary cap
Otis Michael I know the NFL make more money then the nba we talking about the players
"nba make way more money lol look at Solomon hill making 11 mil"
"l I know the NFL make more money then the nba we talking about the players"
Okay lol. Might want to attempt to be more clear in the future
+Otis Michael Yo I had to research it, the NFL has the highest average team revenue out of all the major pro sports leagues in the WORLD. Man it's crazy...5 of the top 10 richest sporting organizations in the world are NFL teams. The NBA makes considerably less money than major league baseball
Mad_Intalect Yeah, but NBA teams have about 1/3 as many players as a MLB team or NFL team has.
He just proved that NFL players ARE jealous of NBA players after that interview.
ATBPjako only because of money and treatment
Facts
They not jealous of players just upset at the NFL structure
I would be too.....nba players live that cushy life. # the sagayzees
No he just basically said that NBA players are overpaid and pampered and it's so true
"get that rest during the week" lmao dude took too many shots to the cranium and forgot that unlike football, basketball players actually play more than once a week.
They play more games a week for a reason because its a less physical sport than football. Imagine if nfl players was playing 3 or 4 games a week
is obvious Nba gonna get more recognition and money just for the fact that basketball is played all around the world and is far more common sport the only place in the world that people play football is USA.....
American football just popular at state.. while nba are watched by the whole world.
exactly
Thats why im glad I live in the USA, and not anywhere else in the world. Says a lot about the rest of the world.

NBA is not boring to watch dough
Khiann yes it is
@@terrell3664 Most people that can't play think it's boring. Most people that don't understand the game may think it's boring. I never played hockey, don't really understand it, and have never watched an entire hockey game from beginning to end except for when I had to attend one out of town in Chicago for my job. I find it and baseball quite boring.
Cycle of Life and I’m not reading that
Cycle of Life 🖕🏾🖕🏾
Khiann yes it is
well, NBA players don't have that week off between games. In the short run, NFL players have it worst, but in the long run, they don't have to play 82 games, and do back-to-back in different cities and if your team was good enough to be in the playoffs, do 7 games series.
Fabian Moreno NBA players get to play indoors, they don't have to play at freezing temperatures in January when you're all banged up.
stickyhillman99 ouf That's true. I still think NBA players have a worst schedule and rythm. 40 minutes of sprinting, traveling from one city to another in back-to-back arriving in midnight, not enought time to ice the knees, no time with the family, etc.
If NBA players want to meet their family, they can wait until the offseason. Also, missing family is not a big issue for most people as they grow up.
Theres a reason nba plays 82 games and nfl plays 16 well 17 now. Nba is less physical than nfl
Ray Lewis was on point on multiple levels. I wish I could multiple like this video!
If a player is injured, depending on the severity, he may not be able to travel.🙄🙄🙄🙄
well they play more games in a month than you play in a year... they’re constantly moving while you’re standing in one spot till the qb says hike then you move for about 7 sec and the play is over.,., so yeah
NFL players do have to risk their body every single game. When they get tackled, there’s a chance they get a career altering injury.
Julian same chance in basketball
Few athletes have the credibility Ray has when he speaks.
The shoe part is right. I've never heard of a NFL player having a shoe brand👞👟
The NBA plays a lot more games throughout the year, and doesn't have a 53-man roster on each team.
ray gave that roundabout whack story just to call basketball players soft
Isa Warith they are
Isa Warith it is a soft sport.
People just call it soft because you can’t just run full speed into your problems 😂you have to have finesse so football guys like Ray don’t like that.
Saying basketball sucks because it isn’t as rough as Football is like saying Grapes suck because they aren’t as sour as Lemons.
Isa Warith I mean they kinda are soft. Most NBA players are coddled now
I was a boxer before, and as charles barkely said, boxing and football are mens sports
It's not like NFL players get minimum wage
Lol his "Wrassling" coach
so passionate, great messenger.
a lot of nba players can be a star in the nfl. you cant say the same the other way around.
o3t0r1ya yea but only at the 1 and 2 position
o3t0r1ya like who?
@@Ghostkilla773 like lebron because do you know he also play american football in his childhood day.
@@kikit7262 that's 1 player. Give me more
@@Ghostkilla773 d.wade because is fast
NBA players get A LOT more guaranteed money on their contracts, shoe deals, and a lot more exposure. Football is life though.
He said at the end "get that during the week" nba players don't get weeks off, other than offseason longest break might be all star weekend if you not competing
But I guess you could argue with amount of games NFL has compared to NBA its different
Take hockey then tho, injuries maybe less likely than NFL but more than NBA and 82games
Draxlura way less ppl watch hockey tho
@@Jmi391 yeah you wrong alot of people watch hockey inplus that is not the point anyway
Much like MLB, the NFL needs to find a way to turn the sport globally.
NBA turned truly global in the late 80s. From there NBA started to change the rules and protect their investments, the health of the players.
MLB/Baseball is huge in Japan and Latin American What are you talking about
@PapiFloww23 yeah but that doesn't include europe, Africa, Australia, the Middle East South America, etc.... baseball is only Popular in certain areas like Korea, Japan, Taiwan and then the Caribbean in addition to Venezuela, Mexico
And like hockey, it's only big in Scandinavia, Russia, etc
Basketball is huge everywhere like football ⚽️. It's huge in every continent - All of Asia, middle east, south Asia, Australia, Africa, Europe, north and south America
@@Floww23and reason being cricket is more popular than baseball, same with rugby being over American football, and field hockey being more than ice hockey. So that's why basketball is the only one that made an American sport global
@@thenightstreamer4702
You just iterated my point. If it reaches mulitple countries,It is global. Some are more global than the others
NFL is only popular in North America. Hence my comment to the video
@oneyedthing you just replied to the wrong person.... I replied to him not you. He mentions mlb is global. It's not..... since it doesn't hit every continent. That doesn't make it global. NBA is global because it reaches the entire world, mlb doesn't. Mlb and nhl only reach certain countries. And nfl only reaches America in addition to Canada, some areas in the pacific I guess
90s basketball used to be physical nowadays any little bump on a superstar is a tech or flagrant. The officiating had gotten out of hand
Ray never let someone ask the whole question. he listen about 40% of the question and he start talking.
I play basketball and not football, but I 100% agree that basketball is easier to go with, and that life threatening injuries can happen any game with a football player, while in the NBA if you have a sore knee, you don't play
Rays a great interview as long as he's not talking about Race or Politics.
bkjay08 I like when he talks about race and politics
whiteie 3 Of course you would, you're a Suspected White Supremacist.
bkjay08 but I'm black how tf am I a suspected white supremacists and if you're basing your information just on my name then your brain is smaller than I thought
I don't think the lack of contact necessarily makes football the better sport. Basketball requires a lot more talent. I think it also requires more conditioning because it's a fast-paced game and players have to play both offense and defense. Football games are longer, but they don't even play half the number of games of an NBA season. The two sports just emphasize different things. Football is more about strength and power. Basketball is more finesse and dexterity.
Stephen Pamphile I don't know about the conditioning part.
Reason why the NFL can't have 82 games a season is because football is such a physical sport, most guys can't even last 16 games. Just because basketball you play both offense and defense does not mean you are more conditioned. The length of a basketball court is 94 feet length by 50 feet wide. While the length of a football field is 120 yards (counting endzones) by 53 yards wide. Sure you may not run the whole length. But most plays do go longer than the length of a basketball court. To be able to receive/give hits is something to condition for. Because once the defense/offense sees you huffing and puffing, that puts a huge target on your back. I do agree that basketball is more finesse. But football has another mentality.
Basketball is definitely a more difficult sport in my opinion. Totally different from the raw speed and power required to play football. In basketball you could over power a shot on everyplay. Only a quaterback can be too powerful while playing football
Stephen Pamphile u have to work on your skills more in basketball you can't just be naturally fast
Stephen Pamphile more conditioning!
I'm not gonna lie, I love basketball so much more than football. Football may have it's pride but it also has so many flaws. I'd rather play good and safe than leave my body on the field for one stupid game.
One thing Ray Lewis needs to remember is that in the NFL your not play back-to-backs or 3 games in 4 nights.
Title is misleading.
NBA players make more money because:
1. Its less players to be paid
2. The chances of getting hurt is miniscule compared to the NFL
Brandon Martin nah it mostly due to the roster. 15 vs 52 makes a huge difference
Real basketball in the Jordan era was never soft. Plus there is more stress on the joints and ligaments. And there is more public scrutiny so the mental pressure is greater.
Plus it's harder to get onto an NBA team than an NFL team.
And NBA players play more often and get less rest.
Played Football (proper football with a round ball) Rugby League and now Box. There’s something special about taking to a field with 12 other men and going to war for 80 mins. A bond
Can Ray Lewis join this show permanently?? MAN this dude is full of insight and awesome!
Garrett May no!!!! his preaching gets annoying after while
The Swoosh his holier then thou talk is super annoying this man acts like we for got that he got rid of that bloody suit
Garrett May it's something maddd annoying about ray Lewis
Garrett May he kills people
Basketball takes a great skill to play professionally. Football requires great athleticism and speed. Two different sports to be compared to each other.
NBA is followed worldwide, unlike football. In the US only.
Nfl following is not as massive as the NBA outside the US. I am outside and follow the Nfl closely, I'm on in a million where I'm from.
for only averaging 4 points a game I could do that
I like how ray quit basketball bc its soft.😂
Is ray Lewis the most cliche person in sports?
stephanie Justice probably, but it feels like he means everything he says
Adrián Arredondo i don't i have always felt like Ray was putting on a front and just say what folks want to hear from a player of his talent level
There is literally no basis for what you said, you just want to disagree with Ray
Ray Lewis nothing this 🐐 says is cliché
Nak Loves Jesus bro go worship some where else you don't know this man I just gave my opinion
Respect
This conversation is stupid
Kerry Jackson yeap
0:49 Daekwon?
Ray just wasn't good enough at Bball so he joined the football team. Salty.
He just said it was too soft of a sport for him
If nba was 16 games ..the klaw would still sit out 5 games hahahajahah
He calls basketball soft yet us Australians have rugby league and Australian rules which is NFL but rougher and no padding, the stamina to play in the NBA trumps that toughness those dumb NFL players have
Cool.
It is nowhere near as rough. 99% NFL players end up with CTe. AFL is the only Australian sports that allows shoulder charge but there are 1 or 2 big hits in a game. NFL football has 1 or 2 hits each play. I'm not going to even talk about NRL because shoulder charge is illegal and blindside hits don't exist
Baker Dozen your sport is soft af shutup we get killed out there y’all play patty cake
@@glenndsouza5447 that’s called stupid
If you compare football and basketball with each other for one game, then I can honestly say that football probably has way more wear and tear on your body. But the schedules and amount of games are really the true measuring stick in this case. An NFL team with it's players and staff can prepare almost a whole week for their opponent and then play them usually on a Sunday. An NBA team on the other hand can have 3-4 games in a week and they really don't have time to prepare for each opponent as well as they'd like to. And the wear and tear and injury risks pretty much evens each other out with the more amount of games being played. Which is why I think that Colin's point about NBA players resting is some what not well thought out. Better to rest a few games if your sore instead of playing through every small injury and increasing the risk to get injured more severely, pretty much common sense to me. Plus the NBA players have to do all the traveling and playing with a few hours of sleep almost every game.
Yea because you where to tough for basketball is why you quit....
stephanie Justice yeah he told us why he quit
stephanie Justice too*
If your are a superstar. *Ray Lewis 2:16
Just be 6'8. Be able to run a mile under 5 minutes and a 40 under 4.6 and be able to palm and dunk a basketball make 80% of your free throws and overcome astronomical odds to make a 12 not a 53 man roster and you can make that nba bank too.
I agree with Ray, there is a huge difference between hurt and injured.
Its because of leBron , even the last guy on the bench gets paid the same amount as the starter in the NFL.also because NFL organizations are HUGE.
Lol... NFL guys use pads. Try playing one or two codes of Rugby
"basketball is way too soft'..translation: "i'm too short and slow to ever make a career out of basketball"
there are 11 Minutes of action in an NFL game...seriously. he said it best apples and oranges
In basketball, it's more about skill. In football, it's more about the will of one man against the man in front of them (depending on position).
He's not wrong about what he's saying. Even if the games for basketball have less rest time its not like he's saying to go play while injured, he's saying to go support the team on games. Even while injured you can still sit on a bench and watch or give advice to others while watching. Just going to a game to support the team isn't a huge deal and its not like it interferes with rest time so I don't see why nba players can't do it
Can someone tell Killa, you're not supposed to hurt the guy when he's going for a layup
u cannot compare the two basketball player played more games in a week.unlike basketball both offense and defense get to take turn they are not on the field at the same time so they gets in between breaks.star players or starting lineup in the nba barely could sit 2mins on the bench
bloxxhitz Jr they also don't run full speed at people to hit them or get hit at full speed by someone
Are idiots here really saying that they're comparable because they play more games in the NBA? lol. Basketball IS soft compared to football.
Basketball is also a more comfortable game to attend and watch , due to being a indoor game . That’s why the NFL endorsed more indoor stadiums. Watching a game in sub-zero weather is not advisable. Also , due to the nature of a game that results in massive injuries means a shorter time of investment in NFL players
Too real
The best athletes in the world play basketball in the NBA.
No basketball is second to football. Not American football... Real European football. But they are close and no other sport comes close to them basketball and football (soccer) are the two greatest sports ever.
@@ezraprzytyk calm down football is boring.
Football⚽️ athletes are the best in the world
NFL players honestly should get bigger contracts
Basketball is not soft. It has rules! You guard your man, if he's smoking you? You get a help defender. if that doesnt work, Then go play football
M Dub that's what he did though
Yeah bro that's why I started off by saying basketball is not soft. It's always a linebacker upset that he can't tackle anybody with a ball. Hence, go play football
It is soft, at least now it is.
M Dub smh another wimp thinking basketball is for tough thugs
Says the internet gangster. Girl stop.
The difference is football is easier to play than basketball.
Randy Moss was the most talented football player we've ever seen but even he had to bow out when he matched up with top talent in basketball
Many basketball players like Gates, Clancy, Big Ben, Gronk, have gone on to be stars in football but very few football players could make that transition
Bee TT yup
None of no the question which makes more money nfl marketing or nba marketing?
But Hockey is way more brutal and it's 82 games. Nuff said
Longer career and more money! Yeah I would be jealous too
It is a softer game... Yes, they work hard to in order to perfect their craft. But as Ray rightly said, there are so many more games so the weight of each one is far less than in the already more physically demanding NFL. In the NFL every play is so much more magnified increasing the intensity of every collision (crunch bowl). For this you're paid (relatively speaking), minimum wage... The grass appears much greener on the other side.
B-ball is pure skill just look at league skill dominates. NFL is random
u can die on the football field... in basketball rolling an ankle is about as bad as it gets
i think bastekball in general requires more skill then just athletic talent just like soccer.... nfl is alot more tactic and athletic orientated imo not saying you dont need certain skills for certain positions in nfl but i think basketball and soccer require more finesse skill rather then raw athletic talent
More rare to make it in NBA. Supply & demand. Only 5 starters
And 8 bench players
NBA is universal however Baseball and American football many don't understand.
LeBron and them didn't have a choice. Coach told him he wasn't coming on the plane so he wasn't coming on the plane. End of story.
Lebron could have made Lue play that night. And Lue woulda had to dress out and put on his sneakers. Lebron could have gone if he wanted to, he just didnt wanna travel
Bryce Nolen I have a hard time believing that an athlete who reaches the level of a LeBron James wants to take a night off because he doesn't want to fly one hour and thirty-nine minutes from Cleveland to Memphis.
It might be true. Maybe LeBron didn't feel like flying for a little under two hours in a charter plane (they don't fly coach) down to nearby Tennessee. I just have a hard time believing it.
I _do not_ doubt that LeBron has more pull than his coach, after all, the team's value went up a few hundred million dollars now that he's back in town. Tyronn would have had to talk him into it but I don't associate elite athletes with poor work ethic or unprofessional behavior. I can be wrong.
I'm a huge Lebron fan, dont get me wrong. I just don't believe that it was all the coach's decision either. I understand why he might not want to travel or maybe he just wanted to spend time with his family, whatever the case may be.
I am on Kristine's side though, especially when it comes to the fans buying tickets and everything, just to see one of the best players in the history of the game not even show up.
Bryce Nolen Maybe it was a mutual decision but I believe that the person in charge is the coach and if he allows his player to make those kinds of decisions it's still his responsibility because that's what he was hired to do. If I disagreed with the decision, and I don't, I would say Lue is at fault because that's his job description. Whether his arm got twisted by LeBron or not. He knew what time it was when he signed that contract.
