SGA on if he could play in the NFL: “No chance. I fell on the football and I got the wind knocked out me — I didn’t like that at all so I quit right away.”

  2. Brother you can’t set up the haters by saying you couldn’t play football because it doesn’t feel as good to fall over 

  3. A guy that was a year ahead of me in high school got tackled and landed on the ball and it ruptured his spleen.

  4. Barkley: Michael Jordan was a killa. I ain’t never seen a guy like him before. Something wrong with this dude. SGA? He too nice. I heard he fell on a football and quit on the spot. Michael? Michael would’ve been the one throwing the ball at dude’s chests. 

  5. These hypothetical discussions were always goofy because first and foremost in the NFL, you have to be able to take a hit. 

    And generally survive it, but keep going. 

    It doesn’t matter how athletic you are, how big you are, how well you can juke, how fast you can run, how well you can catch, how well you tackle, it’s can you take those physical shocks. That sudden hit that may have actually slightly concussed you? I’m talking even the “minor” hits, let alone the big shots. 

  10. Every play be like

    “Personal foul. Breathing near SGA. 15 yard penalty. Automatic first down.”

  11. lmao, this is so real though. landing on the ball and the short side jamming into you right under where your pads end knocks the wind out of you like nothing else. it’s so unexpected.

  13. “They told me if you get touched in football, it’s normal defense and not a foul — I don’t like that at all so I quit right away”

  14. In 7th grade I went out for football and they did that drill where you just line up and hit each other, and I took a total of two and then just walked off the field with the coach yelling behind me.

    Fuck that shit.

  16. Fallon is such a fucking chode. Cuts the man off mid sentence to show the pic he just told him not to. Who watches this garbage

  17. That’s why these hypothetical don’t do it for me when it comes to contact sports. Like lets boxing or mma. Yes you can be a lebron James type build and we start fantasizing about how he would be the Goat just on his frame itself but you have to take into account how well you take punches, how much of a dog you have to have to fight out of a submission.

  19. Not SGA being the stereotypical “basketball players are just football players that don’t like to get hit” 😂😂😂

  20. I played o/d lineman in high school so I was never tackled. Even then, my body is whole kinds of fucked up from many injuries I’ve accrued from playing for like 3 years.

    This sports isn’t for most people tbh. I wouldn’t push my kids into playing football either

  22. I mean looking at Shais build will tell u he’s not meant to be a football player. Many Football players are naturally stocky humans aka Tongans and Samoans

  27. I think it was one of the Kelce brothers who said nobody in the NFL could play in the NBA, because if they could, they would be.

  32. They’re not going to call his flops in the NFL.

    NBA has become soccer, where players who aren’t injured pretend that they are, as opposed to the NFL where players who are injured pretend that they are not.

  34. Hard hits in the NFL? We must be watching something different bc I see penalty flags anytime there’s a hard hit…
