NBA players that would be great football players and which position?

[doublerods]

Dwight Howard-DE

[crofty]

LeBron James-Wide Reciever, TE or OLB

[doublerods]

Good point greg. I believe was all state wr his soph yr if i'm not mistaken

[Dog the Bounty Hunter]

Allen Iverson- kick return
Glenn Davis- Waterboy/Team ###############

[Junior]

where would you put shaq, obviously referring to him in his prime

[doublerods]

Shaq- de, te, or maybe an offensive tackle (d'brickshaw fergueson)...then again its f u k i n shaq, he could prbly play all 11 positions at 1 time!

[Junior]

gotta be best center in nba history, i would say right tackle, maybe some GL TE or FB

[assumption]

70-80 percent could probably play TE or WR. NBA has the best athletes in all of team sports in my opnion.

[Junior]

disagree assumption, i would say football has them, what are you classifying as athleticism?

[nightowl]

D Rose - Tailback
Boozer - DE

Just watching an NBA playoff game is (in my opionion) enough proof. I speak in terms of overall talent.

You ever seen a basketball player throw around some iron in the wt room? I can only think of a few that take it seriously...offseason for bball "fixing my shot from 16ft"...offseason for football, running catching blocking, flipping tires, lifting pulling things...it all depends on how u look at it...bball consist of basic locomotor skills such as jumping running, etc...football consist of freak athletes doing a lot of nontraditional movements..i go w football

i think rods just explained where there maybe some flaws in your argument, but i would add that "talent" is opinion based where athleticism can be measured

[COCoach]

I think there is select number of athletes in the NFL and NBA that could probably excel in both sports but I think it's a very small number in all actuality. LeBron no doubt could play professional football (we know he was good enough to be All-Ohio in football). But I don't think there's a lot of other that could. Basically we're only talking about guys that are basically 6-2 to 6-8 and weigh between 230-280.

D. Howard would own you in the weight room

[Junior]

i think you would be surprised rods, howard's length would hurt him, now explosive lifts he would dominate

[Tank]

agree with rods. football players do so much more than just run and jump.

[Junior]

agree with rods. football players do so much more than just run and jump.

also much more injuries in football caused by the abnormal movements

[doublerods]

Dwight howard would be classified as "one of the few" that use the wt room as a cornerstone of their game
