My Starting NFL Offense Only Using NBA Players
Advertisement
This was one of the hardest things I have ever done. Austin Rivers is a fucking idiot. If he said this for clicks, I tip my cap. If he was being genuine he's as dumb, if not dumber than me.
There's simply no chance in HELL that there's 30 players in the NBA who can play in the NFL right now. There's isn't a single player in the NBA who could hold their own on the offensive or defensive line. The only way 30 NBA players could play in the NFL is at RB/WR, unless there's some guys in the league who have an absolute cannon, but I doubt it.
So without further ado here's my starting offense (This team is 100% going 0-17)
QB- Anthony Edwards
The key to playing QB in the NFL is confidence and no one has more confidence in themselves than Anthony Edwards. I don't care if he can read a defense or not, as long as he thinks he can, that's good enough for me. Plus, it doesn't hurt that he played SS, 3B, and pitcher in baseball, so there has to be some arm talent there.
RB- Tyrese Maxey

WR- SGA

6'6 195 LBS? Sign me the fuck up. I have no idea how good his route running would be, but best believe if this team is ever lucky enough to get inside the 10 yard line, we're running a goal line fade four plays in a row.
WR- Ja Morant

I rest my case.
WR- Damian Lillard

TE- Lebron James

Shit, he's the only player I've listed who received tryout offers from NFL teams. Despite how much I dislike Lebron, I will never ignore his greatness. He could 100% be a top 10 tight end in the NFL.
Tackles- Embiid & Jokic
Jesse D. Garrabrant. Getty Images.If these players make it out of the first drive without getting injured I'd be impressed. Trying to find offensive lineman in the NBA was damn near impossible. There's not a single player in the NBA that could block Myles Garrett, TJ Watt, or Micah Parsons.
Guards- Bam Adebayo & Jarrett Allen

C- Dwight Howard
