Seeing that video Draymond definitely made the right decision to go for the NBA instead of the NFL 😂

[Cezer]

A lot of guys became Hoopers after they got hit the first time😂

[jmail]

Man Gil tryna have Wemby leaving the football game on a stretcher 😂😂

[nolantalbott]

The disrespect for NFL receivers is crazy. It’s not just about being athletic and fast. You have to know how to get out of breaks and not be stiff, you have to know how to beat press, know where to sit down in zone coverage, have late hands, track the football. People don’t realize how good NFL corners are and how hard it is to run good routes.

1990s basketball would be too physical for many of today's NBA players. And you're talking about them playing NFL football? Okay.

Ocho’s reaction when he found out it was Draymond 😂😂😂 went from hype man to confused man😂

[sidekickz]

Everyone THINKS they can play football... until they strap on them pads and line up against a linebacker

[drewwilson]

"Austin ain't even better than me at hooping." 😭😭

[DannyJuke]

Calvin Johnson Jr is my favorite WR of ALL TIME. 6'5" and ran a 4.3 and STILL got shut down at times. These NBA players don't understand the levels of athleticism football players possess.

Football (Mindset) v Basketball (Skillset)

I remember Charles Barkley in Auburn the football team wanted him so bad he went to one practice and said hes never doing that shit again cus of the pain 😂

[blackcat]

What people who never played football don't understand is, the first few days of just wearing your helmet leaves your neck sore. Just the helmet. It's more than what you think

[devinbrooks]

I think Gil don’t understand that he probably won’t even get off the line at receiver 😂

[drewmeyer]

What’s crazy is Green isn’t some small guy the fact he couldn’t get off the line is wild

[whipemkealohagaming]

The arguement that some NBA players would make it in the NFL because they were good or even great highschool football players is ridiculous. The gap between HS and College and College to NFL is astronomical. If it wasn't they would allow HS players to enter the draft.

MJ showed us.... Different sports require different types of muscles! These skills do NOT translate.

[deckardaaron]

The way ocho and unc laughing at Gil has me dying 😂😂😂😂

[Celestial_Souljah]

There's no way Wemby would survive in the NFL. He's tall, but how many hits could he take?

[willardrobinson]

He called that man Austin Reaves to start the interview.💀😂😭

[williest]

Gil - EVERYBODY plays pickup basketball.
NOBODY plays pickup football 😂😂😂
