Ok, I know this may be a little off topic, but I felt like it was a topic that we could have a bit of fun with .
If we could make a football team out of the players in the NBA what would it look like?

QB: Allen Iverson
RB: Ben Gordon
FB: Paul Millsap
WR: Lebron James
WR: Matt Barnes
WR: Andre Iguodala
TE: Amare Stoudamire

T: Al Jefferson
G: Shaquille O’neal
C: Kevin Love
G: Kendrick Perkins
T: Dejuan Blair

DE: Nene
DT: Glen Davis
DT: Reggie Evans
DE: Chris Andersen

OLB: Ron Artest
MLB: Craig Smith
OLB: Matt Harpring

CB: Nate Robinson
CB: Mario Chalmers
SS: Rajon Rondo
FS: Derrick Rose

K/P: Steve Nash

KR: Devin Harris
KR: TJ Ford

Haha, I just thought this might be a fun thing to do.. even if its a bit off topic.
What do you think?

[MagikKnickParticipant]

put Nate at CB

[R-Dot-13Participant]

Yeah i was going to, but when it came down to writing him in, i forgot him .

[Michael.S.Participant]

Yao at WR. hahahaha , nobodys catching Interceptions

[zhgzsteinParticipant]

but no Olinemen ever has been taller than 6’8, so it would be mostly players with tractor traylor type builds that could be linemen in the league

[MagikKnickParticipant]

Forreal..
Yao and Manute Bol at WR

LMAO

[IndianaBasketballParticipant]

That offensive line is beastly, but the linebackers are kinda weak tho lol. You need to find room for Reggie Evans and Craig Smith on defense! Derrick Rose would be a nickel back on defense lol.

Kevin Durant and Chris Bosh at DE LOL!!! Too skinny! & put Big Baby at DT.

[R-Dot-13Participant]

LOL yeah i know, i did the defense quickly .
I put more thought into the Offense

[McWinningParticipant]

Ron Artest would be a beast at linebacker.

[L.ShapParticipant]

I love this.
The O-line may be a little too big however.

T-Kevin Love
G-Glen Davis
C-Chuck Hayes
G-Dejuan Blair
T-Leon Powe

[IndianaBasketballParticipant]

Ouch… Running the ball between the left guard and left tackle would be SUICIDE. I don’t know who’s knees would go out first! Blair’s or Powe’s!

[JNixonParticipant]

Ben Gordon at Running Back. Dude is swole

[MagikKnickParticipant]

Oh, and steve Nash would be the Kicker

[R-Dot-13Participant]

Yeah i had him as it, i must have forgotten to put a kicker, but definetly Nash.

[IndianaBasketballParticipant]

At 6′ 3″ 222 lbs, I think Eric Gordon deserves a spot on the team. Probably at backup running back.

[Meditated StatesParticipant]

Guess cause he is not in the league anymore I can’t take Charlie Ward at QB. Dude won the hesiman.

[R-Dot-13Participant]

Yeah theres tons of people i could have used as backups..
I just didnt do them..

Possibilities

RB: Eric Gordon/Ben Gordon
CB: TJ Ford/ Brandon Jennings

all could be there

[conartist85Participant]

He shouldnt be a WR on this team over Kobe Bryant.

[Michael.S.Participant]

this is football not basketball

[R-Dot-13Participant]

what do you guys think?
Superbowl?

[R-Dot-13Participant]

I felt Melos height and athleticism gave him an advantage.

Kevin Durant is a possibility too

[MagikKnickParticipant]

Nahh, we’d have too much fumbles because someone will always try and dribble the ball, lmao

[conartist85Participant]

im not sold on Perkins and Love on the Line…wouldnt be better on subbing in Elton Brand (if hes healthy:) and a guy like Udonis Haslem?

im probaly just over thinking this….but not a bad list.

[Michael.S.Participant]

or try to dunk on the ………uh………you know what i mean

[R-Dot-13Participant]

Haha, true
maybe we should have some hustle players liek Anderson Varajao to dive on the ground and pick up the ball every play then lmao

[FrankBlackBoi]

allen iverson is the michael vick dual threat nice and nash as kicker and punter that is great

[McWinningParticipant]

you have to be trained right to play in the Nfl and the games different than the Nba i think that team would be pretty good but not super good.

[Michael.S.Participant]

WOW guys Kevin Love should be the QB, haha ( outlet pass )

[HaleParticipant]

Dwight and Wade would get manhandled at their positions listed haha. Everything else looks good (except Boozer). Good job though overall though.

[j1232eParticipant]

all his family played football. He was a beast at outside linebacker in high school.

[doubledribblerParticipant]

I’m not going to agree with everyone on the list, but overall it’s a nice list. I would pay to watch two teams of NBA guys playing all out. Your line might be a little too tall though, especially for Iverson to throw over. I see Shaq dominating though. No one is going to get past him. He’s too big and strong. I think the only guys that I would argue with you on are Carmelo, Evans and Craig Smith. Great job though. I’m going to try to compile a team if I get some time.

[j1232eParticipant]

might make it to half time playing T. He would fake an injury on a 40 yard play so he wouldn’t have to run back to the line of scrimage.

[llperez]

Don’t leave Matt Barnes out on this one. He was one of the top wr’s in highschool and he has threatened on numerous occasions, both at UCLA and in the NBA, to leave basketball to go play in the NFL. Dude led the state of california in TD’s his senior year at Del Campo.

[sameolGParticipant]

im having monta ellis return punts and kicks for me

[adjose5Participant]

QB: Allen Iverson
RB: Dwayne Wade

Kick Returner- Aaron Brooks

K/P Steve Nash

[jeff416Participant]

No Derrick Rose? He would be a beast in football with his speed and strength.

[SwatLakeCityParticipant]

I’d put LBJ at QB, and AI at RB, with Dwade as another RB(I know LBJ played QB in highschool and was pretty good. So was AI at RB. Then I would put Durant at WR at LBJ’s spot. I wouldn’t even put Booze on the team, (although I loved your comment on him j232e, that is so true.) The rest of the positions are good. If we do this then I think we might be talking Superbowl, that’s if we get everyone to stop dribbling the ball or trying to Dunk on the field goal post(Maybe they can do that for touchdown celebrations, but that’s it) This would be a very interesting team to watch. How many games would be on National television?

[llperez]

iverson was actually a very good QB in highschool, not a RB. And I don’t like him as a RB because he weighs like 160 and would go down on first contact every time. LeBron might be a good QB as well, but with his physical gifts, I would want to see hm at WR or TE. And good job to adjose5 for bringing in Blair and Brockman into this discussion. Those guys are as tough as they come.

My question is special teams, onside kick, kicking team, who in the nba do you know is gonna go and get that ball?

[CLYDE-frazier10Participant]

oline u need big fat people nd for dline u need more speed type guys
my team wud be like this

[the_shamwow_guyParticipant]

If you would put yao ming in the defensive line no one could over the top of him he is also suprisingly fairly strong so he would be capabable of holding his own

[McWinningParticipant]

dont forget about Chalmers, he could be a good cornerback. ALSO put Brian Scaabrine in as the waterboy.

[NYK2010Participant]

Davis definately a DT
Woah Shaq as a Defensive End maybe in his earlier days now I see him as a Guard, Tackle, or DT
SS CP3 he’d be tackling like Deion Sanders.

[blazerheadfreak]

lebron would be rb,wr,te,de,c,cb,lt,rt,kick returner mlb fs ss all of the fnckin above he would be still be king james

[R-Dot-13Participant]

Lebron was a WR in high school wasnt he?

[xbadgerhustlerParticipant]

Chalmers would lead the league in picks, Bird, you’re right

[thepoopsmithParticipant]

I’d throw in Yao and D12 to block FGs and PATs

[darkman97Participant]

Well I would always put yao ming in to block field goals. Gotta add retired oliver miller and gary trent on the d or o line. Zach randolph in there too.

[xbadgerhustlerParticipant]

ohhhhhhh gary trent… good call dude was a beast

[McWinningParticipant]

put the Birdman as defensive end.

[R-Dot-13Participant]

yeaa hes there

[BasketballGuru24Participant]

Kirlenko Got to play safety…..Brandon Bass As Defensive end
