Five players an NBA analyst believes can “Dominate” In the NFL
There has been a huge debate about is it easier for NBA players to transition to the NFL, or NFL players to transition to the hardwoods.
Well, Kendrick Perkins the former NBA basketball player and NBA analyst believes there are five players that could come in and dominate in the NFL right now.
During a segment on NBA Today, Perkins listed his top five players who can dominate in the NFL and they are:
Memphis Grizzlies guard Marcus Smart, Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards, Los Angeles Clippers guard Russell Westbrook, Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James and Orlando Magic guard Jalen Suggs.
Perkins said Smart, Edwards and Westbrook have tons of athleticism, Suggs was a star quarterback in high school and Lebron was a dog as a linebacker and wide out.
So what do you think? Can an NBA player transition to play in the NFL easier than an NFL player transitioning to the NBA?
