I stopped watching ESPN over a decade ago. Black men stop supporting ESPN. It is not allowed in my house.

Gained a world of respect for Austin.

That's the PROBLEM THEY WANT TO LET THESE BLACK WOMEN SAY WHATEVER THEY WANT WITH NO REPERCUSSIONS. BS!!!

That's karma for her taking shots at Cam Newton!

Man that’s not Austin Rivers, that’s Andrew Tate with a new hair line.

Two thumbs up for Austin Rivers 👍

I stopped watching ESPN years ago because of the women commentators

I can’t stand that lady

He said the little credibility he had for her which means he thought she was dumb lol

She insulted his profession

He told no lies 🤣😂

Charlie ward was actually a starter for the Knicks when he overtook it from Chris Childs

Even Randy Moss said he wanted to play basketball but when he ran into Kevin Garnett he realized football was the way to go for him

Antonio Gates played College Basketball and got drafted to the NFL without playing college football.

Austin going to either get promoted or get fired.

When men discuss sports it looks like a fight is about to break out. If you can’t navigate that conversation environment then you don’t belong.

Why don't they ask the guys who made the transition, was it hard

Wow, now I'm an Austin Rivers fan all of a sudden.

My boy Julius Peppers played both bball and football equally good....from HS thru college....he chose football..

Charlie Ward could’ve played both sports at the same time

I was told when i was a kid that i should switch sports because football doesn't pay enough. I knew the MLB was paying more. But damn, never realize the pay difference in the NFL and NBA . A hall of famer getting less than a 2nd string player is crazy. Especially when you consider the damage to the body.

Allen Iverson

What did they think was going to happen. He doesn't like black women and she doesn't like black men 😁. I think they should talk more often

Crazy sht is…she got as much credibility as SAS. Journalists are just that. But doesn’t give them credibility for saying any of the bs they say.

Marcus Pollard. Played basketball at Bradley University. Was a very good tight end for the Colts for 8 years and a total of 11yrs in NFL a very good player.

RG comparing scoring a point in basketball to a touchdown in football is way different . Reach .

I stopped arguing with female years ago😅

I lost all respect for her when she came for Cam Newton like he wasn’t qualified to critique quarterback’s. Gurrrrrrllllll bye!!!!

Charlie ward is the only major college football player to make the transition from football to the NBA

Why do they have black people on live tv arguing and disrespecting each other is the question

I saw Austin Rivers get cooked by Jacoby Brissett in High School and Austin had to hold that L so I don't agree with Austin...but I despise kimberly martin so I'm glad he got at her

Rob was right, RG3 is a cornball 😂😂

Nah bro. He didn’t disrespect her. These women talk that talk. Only way to got at that on a DEBATE show, is to fire off at the mouth.

ESPN DO US ALL A FAVOUR AND GET RID OF KIMBERLY MARTIN 🙏

Bro nba player know they ain't trying to take those hits

No. Comment was “personal”. That was the problem. However, your point on white dating has legitimacy.

Great point man. 'If they could they would'. Really good video, keep going.

But good clap at Kimberly tho!!

Wouldn't be surprised if they let him go for it I'm glad he said what he said to her

He held his own in the debate but got out of hand with it. I can’t argue with that last statement.

yeah right because he's telling the truth you can't sale us that lie when this guy Austin Rivers played in NBA so how is it likely that this woman knows more then a former NBA player

What they really saying without saying is that a dude like Josh Allen can hang with NBA players. ESPN speaking in code coz they don’t wanna say what they really wanna say. Feel me…

He.shut.her.up.real.quick.with.facts

She tried Cam Newton so I'm not surprised she tried Rivers.

Marshall Faulk and Charlie ward is no comparison Charlie Ward played football in the highest paid position in football even a just serviceable QB career earnings are more than a good to great running back, that being said nba is by far the safer and financially responsible route to take if you are that talented to have the choice

Rivers, Martin, Rg3 straight meatballs no wonder why greenberg got his feet kicked up, your supposed to be entertained by the Jesters..

ESPN WILL BE GONE SOON, ITS A CLOWN SHOW, SO DISAPPOINTING

I agree with Austin 100%.

Finally somebody else other than Marcellus Wiley making some sense

It’s called debating like ppl really are loosing their common sense 🤷🏾‍♂️💯

Austin has feminine energy, just like a lot of NBA players

The money argument makes no sense and it cancels out the if you coulda you woulda.... Because who would choose the football route when basketball pays more?

It all depends on who the athlete it and what their talents are. Period.

Scoring a touchdown is not equivalent to bucket in the nba lol

Austin Rivers is literally identical to Andrew Tate. No surprise

He was right she all credibility in that one ignorant statement

9:17 and he got that because of a super bowl bump in pay. Charlie Ward, with the Knicks, barely made it to the Eastern Conference Finals. It's wild....

She is absolutely right though!

Basketball is waaaaaaaaayyyyy harder to play than football.

Josh Allen was all state in hoop

#1, why was he so emotional trying to make a point about a fake scenario?

i dont see not 1 NBA player, playing the line of scrimmage. Just being real.

Yeah it have happened before Charlie Ward Went from being a College QB, to being a Backup Point Guard

I don't watch ESP anymore. I'd rather watch small you tube channels for my sports updates. Football.

Rivers had facts....they on some bs 😂

And this is EXACTY why I agree with Harrison Butker's take

The last point, the odds of making a roster is more difficult. But a football player can transition over easier to basketball than NBA stop it

He’s spitting facts though I do think football players are overall better athletes than basketball players. However, it’s easier to transition to play football as a basketball player than football to basketball with no experience.

I've went to high school with multiple nfl players .. hell i know people that have played in the nfl at my llocal gym ... Never Have i ever went to school with or met a NBA player randomly you'll be lucky to meet someone thats played D1 basketball...

i agree with austin. Playing both D1 basketball and football myself the transition from basketball to football is much easier than the opposite. In my opinion not saying football players can’t transition over to basketball it would just be harder if they NEVER competitively hooped before.

Johnny Mac from Pomona played both and was dominant but could transfer over to college with basketball so he played football at USC and then went to the NFL

Somebody need to ask Austin,He need to go to training camp in a couple of weeks since he think it's that easy,Stop talking about other NBA players and get your Ass out the Austin.

Nfl is more athleticism than skills

This argument will never end because everybody is right based on the perspective they are arguing from. If we're talking about which sport would could you train someone to have success when they have zero experience, football would be easier to produce more successful players. However, if we're talking about players that have some experience with playing the other sport, football players would have more successful transitions. As a college football player, me and several teammates played basketball all the time in the off-season. I've played with people on our basketball team as well and could have switched sports if I wanted to. You don't really see many basketball players playing football ever. So if we are talking about immediate success, then football players would come out on top.

Yoo ESPN IS ON SOME BS YOO 😤🤬🤔

"7 minutes of tenacious D" RG3...... A moment in PAUSE.

We talk to each other like this all the time in sports arguments. It’s ment to be funny 😂😂

I do enjoy the ladies that cover basketball… they are credible

They always try to move the goal post as if he was attacking her. If he was debating sports with another man who has the audacity to speak on sports and not know the facts behind what he is saying he would actually get grilled worst than this. Her stupid remarks with facts is the reason for his response. They are talking sports so if you don’t fully know things about sports than don’t speak on it. Especially talking to an actual nba player. I wouldn’t debate an nba player on anything regarding nba clearly his experience is enough knowledge to trump what ever I feel or statement I would make

ESPN just puts loudmouths on air to watch people are argue. It's vulgar. Foreign players in the NBA are mainly bigs. It's not an "international" league. It's the best league with the best players and any foreigners who want to play with the best come here. Most Canadian players were literally Made in America. The others like Gannis and Jokic, have basically been put through the fire in the NBA and been able to make it come out on the other side. They have no real effect on a roster spots unless you're a really average 7 footer. Athletically Rivers is 100% correct. There are a ton of big dude's in the league who could technically put on some pads and likely do well in the NFL. OTOH most football players outgrew any kind of basketball shape in college if not before. But physically and mentally Football at the NFL level is extraordinarily a Collision sport. It's one thing to look at it and theorize, it's a completely different thing to have Aaron Donald or Kam Chancellor on a collision course with you.

The truth is “MOST” NFL players play basketball and football scouts use basketball as a barometer of elite athleticism for football. Basketball players usually don’t transition from basketball to football.

Good for Austin 👏🏼 We can't be letting these women with little credibility in sports go toe to toe with us. sure they can be a part of the conversation but thats it.

I went to a rival HS when Marvin Harrison SR he was cold in basketball he could have went to the NBA for sure

Anthony Edward’s, Karl Malone , Charlie Ward are NBA Players that could play in The NFL Ward was a NFL prospect

I understand her position because of the contact 😂ive played both sports football was def more taxing

Someone tell Kim she left the oven on.

I don’t care for Austin rivers opinions on football or any other subject but the way he checked her I was kind of proud of him for that.

The Randy Moss/White Chocolate HS hoops mixtape was crazy back in the day. AI, Matt Barnes, and Lebron were elite 4-5 star HS football players too.

I can see both transition each other because I was one and saw others do the same in school and so on...

K-Mart,how the hell would you know you have not played either one, so stay in your lane whenever the hell that is.

It’s very refreshing to see someone hold a reckless talker like her accountable. Very few are willing to do what he did, so I support him on whatever future venture he ends up. He starts a KZfaq channel… I will subscribe immediately.😂😂😂

I still feel Liangelo Ball should've switched to football and play the right end, cuz they wanted him back in 2017, even Shannon Sharpe said he would tutor him and he'll train him.

Bo Jackson was a triathlete

I keep waiting for “ I wanna be down “ to drop 😂🎼

We gotta stop saying that those who aren’t stat stuffers aren’t good, 60 mil for Charles Ward means he was VERY GOOD. Not elite but to get on a NBA court, very good is the minimum

Josh allen got a zero chance of scoring a point in a nba game

Charlie Ward was a decent NBA player. Very good defender, and a high level backup.

Austin Rivers you played yourself, Cause Charlie Ward Was QB in the NFL and then Transitioned over to Basketball as a Backup Point Guard

That was not disrespect it was Facts Austin Rivers was Spitting Charlie Ward a Heisman Trophy Winners played for the Knicks. Went off script 😂 that's Phony

Julius peppers was cold
