The NBA vs. NFL competition is a popular subject among sports fans. Athletes have also chimed in on the discussion in several instances. But, in the climax, it depends on the preference. Tom Brady once expressed his feelings about the NBA. But Draymond Green was not appreciative of TB12’s jab.

But his jab over basketball did not compel Draymond Green, who plays in the National Basketball Association.

Football vs. basketball is a topic of discussion between Tom Brady and Draymond Green in an appearance in 2021. Brady argued that basketball requires less physical strength than football. On the other hand, Green contended that football does not need players to compete for both the attacking and defending ends. Both athletes continued to stand by their respective sports.
Tom Brady mentions, “I see all these NBA guys getting hurt all the time. In my mind I’m thinking ‘it’s so easy—no offense—you don’t have to run that far. There’s not a lot of contact. You’ve got nice comfortable shoes on, it’s nice climate all the time’. If I was a basketball player, I always thought of LeBron. If he felt 100 percent every night it’d be scary and I’ve been very fortunate to feel not always 100 percent but close to that.”
In Brady’s justification, he added a ‘no offense.’ But any basketball fan might find his comment unpleasant.

How did Draymond Green respond to Tom Brady?
Draymond is renowned for being aggressive. However, he responded calmly, even in the face of such a claim. It might be the environment, but that isn’t how he typically reacts to these remarks. It might also be because of his deep respect for Brady. Tom Brady appeared envious of NBA players’ easier physical maintenance because of their reduced running requirements.
But Green countered that NFL players get breaks between every play. The NBA doesn’t have that. Furthermore, there are other fundamental distinctions between the various sports. The NBA offers non-stop activity. To compete on both ends, one glides up and down the court. It may not solve this bit of a pickle.
