As a fellow Irish man, people say pick an east coast team(I’m a sixers fan) if you want to watch games live but even then it’s unsustainable if you are up early for work every day.

Earliest normal games are on at around 12-1am, get the odd 8pm-10pm tip off on a weekend but it’s rare.

Get NBA team pass and you can watch them games the next day at dinner time, just gotta avoid Reddit and checking scores for a day but you get used to it

KD at tight-end on the falcons

You seen the hits Gronk used to take right? KD would take one hit and never get up again.

But back to the point, I think they both require very different types of athletes. For one, the NFL is a specialist sport - linemen for example do one very specific job, which requires them to be huge, wide and extremely strong and durable.

A random NFL lineman would out-lift basically any NBA player in history in squat, deadlift and bench - but would have nowhere near the vertical or speed as your average NBA player. Obviously there are outliers to this, your freak athletes and so on.

Very hard to compare completely different sports.

It was more so to allow Embiid to stay near the rim rather than get pull away and Jokic hit a cutter for an easy 2 since no one else in the team can protect the rim
