at this point ESPN and Fox should be thanking Austin Rivers and Pat McAfee. They basically gave them content for two weeks.

Shannon: yal ain’t built like dat

Perk: WHO ??? 👀 😂😂😂😂😂

[lionelsheja]

I agree with Shannon. Respect every sport for what their athletes do.

[nybrfgj]

Perk comparing highschool football to the NFL is laughable

[DCL]

Y’all been complaining about the NBA being soft for the last 20 years and now yall think 30 of them dudes can get on the field right now 🤣.

[jackdavis]

I literally be screaming “shut up Molly!”

[MatthewWilliams-fgff]

"We're trying to move a man against his will" 💪💯 😂

[DarrylRascoe]

This is the sports equivalent of policemen vs firemen😂😂😂😂

[xavzerrek]

I'm a basketball guy... none of them want to get hit full force by a top 15 linebacker

[KLtheCustard]

NBA players be looking in agony after bumping into a screen. Whats gonna happened after a standard NFL hit 😂

[monchelloclay]

Football is a different beast than basketball. Getting chased down and hit by a 6'7 350lb lineman that run the same speed of you is not human.

[backback]

Man, Charles Barkley was bodying dudes in the NBA, playing physically and getting hacked and running through them all in an era of higher physicality, and still, he admitted football is just a completely different level of physicality.

[mateol]

Funny part is no one takes into account, weather, heat, and freezing cold NBA players ain’t built like that

[brody]

Perk getting bodied in debate and then says to chill lmao

[miatodd]

I swear I love when Shannon and perk are debating😂😂😂😂

[cddar]

I remember when Nate Robinson thought he could could be a boxer, ended with him face down snoring 😂😂😂

[Thadarkknyte]

Absolutely NOT. It's a different physicality. I remember (this has probably been well over 20 years ago.) I may have been 21 years old and for the record, I was a a very athletic basketball player. We went over to CCU to play some pick up games in the gym and some of the football players came over and played. Let me tell you when these dude started drivin the paint and bodied you up, you FELT it. These boys are conditioned and built like boulders. Ain't no basketball player going on no NFL field and doin nothin!!

[justinthompson]

I respect Shannon for this. You not gonna tell me someone can come in my profession at the highest level and just walk in and succeed.

[MnyMar]

I’m with Shannon on this one. Perk didn’t even sound sure in his argument

[leatherface]

Shannon got me rolling. 😂😂😂😂😂 But I 100% agree with him. NBA players could only try out for TE or WR and they don't have the speed to be in the NFL
