OT: Build a football team with NBA players (Stolen from DP Show)

[PtldPlatypus]

Something silly, just because there's nothing new to talk about. DP asked Steph Curry and only got through a few positions. Steph put himself at QB, KryptoNate at RB, Lebron at TE and Durant at WR.

Anyone want to give it a shot? Fill an offense, a defense, or all 22.

I feel like Russell Westbrook is the type of guy that would excel at any sport requiring athleticism. He's gotta be on the team in some capacity.

Also.... Kenneth Faried on defense. He's already got the hair of a football defender.

 

[Minstrel]

Well, we know that the power forwards would mostly be tight ends because they can "post up" and "box out" their defenders to make catches, as has been pointed out ad nauseam about Tony Gonzalez, Antonio Gates and Jimmy Graham.

Wesley Matthews, LB.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Meyers Leonard, male cheerleader.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Shaq would have been the William Refrigerator Perry of his generation. Defensive Lineman and situational running back.

 

[speeds]

QB Charlie Ward, or is that cheating?

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

Why he would put Nate Robinson at RB when he actually was a good CB is beyond me...

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

QB: Dwyane Wade
RB: Eric Bledsoe
WR1: Kawhi Leonard
WR2: Victor Oladipo
Slot: Isaiah Thomas
TE: LeBron James
LT: Kendrick Perkins
LG: Glen Davis
C: Boris Diaw
RG: Jared Sullinger
RT: Zach Randolph

Chuck Oakley would've been a mean SOB at DE.

I like your offensive line. Them are some thick boys! I'd probably put Perkins at a guard spot though, because he doesn't move particularly well...

 

[SlyPokerDog]

So who would you use as coach?

Nate McMillan would use an old school pound the ball up the middle on 1st and 2nd down. Only passing in long yardage situations.

D'Antoni would by a pass on every down type coach.

I would have to go with Stotts or Pops. Balanced offense, precise routes, a little razzle dazzle from time to time.

Going to be hard to fill in offensive and defensive lines, Raymond Felton might have to play both sides.

I compare the size of the players with the NFL players and a guy like Wes Matthews is QB sized.

Linemen are Shaq's weight but at least 6" shorter.

Power forwards are linebacker or maybe tight end weight, but taller.

LeBron would be an undersized DE.

LeBron would be an amazing 3-4 rushing OLB
