I hate when people compare these sports. They both have there beauties and imperfections. You've hit the genetic lottery if you can play either at a professional level. Me personally i think basketball is a little harder to play because your greatness has more to do with your own talent, hence why football is probably the ultimate team game.

Look at lebron for example 3 years 100$ million back then in 2004-2005 when i was young you'd be getting 100$ million in 5-6 years now things changed dramatically cause of the international success and 5 out of 10 the average North American Child Will want to play basketball so thats 50% of north americans so that means the other 50% is split between Baseball & Hockey & Football & Soccer .. so do the math ..thats preety a small percentage but then again you have a way more of a lesser chance to make it to the nba than any other sport so most of these guys who usually dont make it go try other alternatives before it gets to late such as NFL CFL OR MLB Or they just get a carreer and live normal and happy!

It's not like NFL players get minimum wage

NBA players get A LOT more guaranteed money on their contracts, shoe deals, and a lot more exposure. Football is life though.

Few athletes have the credibility Ray has when he speaks.

I don't think the lack of contact necessarily makes football the better sport. Basketball requires a lot more talent. I think it also requires more conditioning because it's a fast-paced game and players have to play both offense and defense. Football games are longer, but they don't even play half the number of games of an NBA season. The two sports just emphasize different things. Football is more about strength and power. Basketball is more finesse and dexterity.

Reason why the NFL can't have 82 games a season is because football is such a physical sport, most guys can't even last 16 games. Just because basketball you play both offense and defense does not mean you are more conditioned. The length of a basketball court is 94 feet length by 50 feet wide. While the length of a football field is 120 yards (counting endzones) by 53 yards wide. Sure you may not run the whole length. But most plays do go longer than the length of a basketball court. To be able to receive/give hits is something to condition for. Because once the defense/offense sees you huffing and puffing, that puts a huge target on your back. I do agree that basketball is more finesse. But football has another mentality.

@oneyedthing you just replied to the wrong person.... I replied to him not you. He mentions mlb is global. It's not..... since it doesn't hit every continent. That doesn't make it global. NBA is global because it reaches the entire world, mlb doesn't. Mlb and nhl only reach certain countries. And nfl only reaches America in addition to Canada, some areas in the pacific I guess

One thing Ray Lewis needs to remember is that in the NFL your not play back-to-backs or 3 games in 4 nights.

NBA players make more money because: 1. Its less players to be paid 2. The chances of getting hurt is miniscule compared to the NFL

I'm not gonna lie, I love basketball so much more than football. Football may have it's pride but it also has so many flaws. I'd rather play good and safe than leave my body on the field for one stupid game.

Real basketball in the Jordan era was never soft. Plus there is more stress on the joints and ligaments. And there is more public scrutiny so the mental pressure is greater.

And NBA players play more often and get less rest.

for only averaging 4 points a game I could do that

I play basketball and not football, but I 100% agree that basketball is easier to go with, and that life threatening injuries can happen any game with a football player, while in the NBA if you have a sore knee, you don't play

I like how ray quit basketball bc its soft.😂

Are idiots here really saying that they're comparable because they play more games in the NBA? lol. Basketball IS soft compared to football.

Its because of leBron , even the last guy on the bench gets paid the same amount as the starter in the NFL.also because NFL organizations are HUGE.

Respect

If your are a superstar. *Ray Lewis 2:16

Just be 6'8. Be able to run a mile under 5 minutes and a 40 under 4.6 and be able to palm and dunk a basketball make 80% of your free throws and overcome astronomical odds to make a 12 not a 53 man roster and you can make that nba bank too.

If you compare football and basketball with each other for one game, then I can honestly say that football probably has way more wear and tear on your body. But the schedules and amount of games are really the true measuring stick in this case. An NFL team with it's players and staff can prepare almost a whole week for their opponent and then play them usually on a Sunday. An NBA team on the other hand can have 3-4 games in a week and they really don't have time to prepare for each opponent as well as they'd like to. And the wear and tear and injury risks pretty much evens each other out with the more amount of games being played. Which is why I think that Colin's point about NBA players resting is some what not well thought out. Better to rest a few games if your sore instead of playing through every small injury and increasing the risk to get injured more severely, pretty much common sense to me. Plus the NBA players have to do all the traveling and playing with a few hours of sleep almost every game.

Football is more physically demanding sport but you have to keep in mind they place once a week.

Can someone tell Killa, you're not supposed to hurt the guy when he's going for a layup

Bryce Nolen I have a hard time believing that an athlete who reaches the level of a LeBron James wants to take a night off because he doesn't want to fly one hour and thirty-nine minutes from Cleveland to Memphis. It might be true. Maybe LeBron didn't feel like flying for a little under two hours in a charter plane (they don't fly coach) down to nearby Tennessee. I just have a hard time believing it. I _do not_ doubt that LeBron has more pull than his coach, after all, the team's value went up a few hundred million dollars now that he's back in town. Tyronn would have had to talk him into it but I don't associate elite athletes with poor work ethic or unprofessional behavior. I can be wrong.

I'm a huge Lebron fan, dont get me wrong. I just don't believe that it was all the coach's decision either. I understand why he might not want to travel or maybe he just wanted to spend time with his family, whatever the case may be. I am on Kristine's side though, especially when it comes to the fans buying tickets and everything, just to see one of the best players in the history of the game not even show up.

Bryce Nolen Maybe it was a mutual decision but I believe that the person in charge is the coach and if he allows his player to make those kinds of decisions it's still his responsibility because that's what he was hired to do. If I disagreed with the decision, and I don't, I would say Lue is at fault because that's his job description. Whether his arm got twisted by LeBron or not. He knew what time it was when he signed that contract.

The difference is football is easier to play than basketball. Randy Moss was the most talented football player we've ever seen but even he had to bow out when he matched up with top talent in basketball Many basketball players like Gates, Clancy, Big Ben, Gronk, have gone on to be stars in football but very few football players could make that transition

Bee TT yup

He's not wrong about what he's saying. Even if the games for basketball have less rest time its not like he's saying to go play while injured, he's saying to go support the team on games. Even while injured you can still sit on a bench and watch or give advice to others while watching. Just going to a game to support the team isn't a huge deal and its not like it interferes with rest time so I don't see why nba players can't do it

NFL players honestly should get bigger contracts

How many countries plays NFL football, vs other countries that plays basketball. NFL rosters are bigger than basketball, some players on special teams barely plays 10 minutes, and if they make a great play, they make the most of it celebrating, cuz, they don’t get that much airtime/playtime, to be noticed. Basketball players has more opportunities, to be seen, or talked about. The NFL is trying to expand the game globally, how’s that progressing. What’s the reception like in England, having games there.. Are there people gravitating towards the game.

B-ball is pure skill just look at league skill dominates. NFL is random

It is a softer game... Yes, they work hard to in order to perfect their craft. But as Ray rightly said, there are so many more games so the weight of each one is far less than in the already more physically demanding NFL. In the NFL every play is so much more magnified increasing the intensity of every collision (crunch bowl). For this you're paid (relatively speaking), minimum wage... The grass appears much greener on the other side.

NBA players are paid more because there is a lot fewer of them. Their salary gets shared between 13 players instead of 55. That's a huge difference. They also travel to 41 away games per year and have an 8 month season. Obviously football is harder on your body, no question there. But I wouldn't say the life of an NBA player is easier than and NFL guy.

not to mention NBA players indeed play 8 months a year instead of 5. More games = more revenue, add to that that they are less players and boom. ofc they will get paid more

"basketball is way too soft'..translation: "i'm too short and slow to ever make a career out of basketball"

Basketball is also a more comfortable game to attend and watch , due to being a indoor game . That’s why the NFL endorsed more indoor stadiums. Watching a game in sub-zero weather is not advisable. Also , due to the nature of a game that results in massive injuries means a shorter time of investment in NFL players

I think though an nba player is more likely to get traded and multiple times in their careeer which is way less common in the nfl. Unless you’re named Brandon Cooks.

i think bastekball in general requires more skill then just athletic talent just like soccer.... nfl is alot more tactic and athletic orientated imo not saying you dont need certain skills for certain positions in nfl but i think basketball and soccer require more finesse skill rather then raw athletic talent

Longer career and more money! Yeah I would be jealous too
