There's really no reason for you to be so combative.You got no response so you responded with that *********. LMAO. If you think NFL has better athletes than the NBA than you must have an extra chromosome.
Playing basketball at the highest level is very difficult, there's no doubt about it, and requires extremely high levels of athleticism - but there is no combination of factors greater than the athleticism required to be a safety in the NFL. I'll give you the NBA player on the combination of aerobic/anaerobic endurance and maybe hand-eye coordination, but everything else goes to the NFL player.
Close behind for me would be hockey players and Olympic gymnasts. I'd even take a rugby player if you wanted.
The obvious reason that some NBA players can make in the NFL is because they have the size to play as a TE, creating mismatches for LBs who have to guard them.
