Former Houston Rockets Guard Faces Ridicule for Brain-Breaking Take

Oftentimes, as NBA players transition into their post-playing days, they enter the sports media space. Former Houston Rockets guard Austin Rivers is a rare case of both, as his Off Guard podcast is a part of The Ringer's network, while he has also been a regular on ESPN's NBA Today daily show. Rivers went viral for a controversial and unpopular take on The Pat McAfee Show, stating that the NBA is a harder sport, arguing that it's easy to find NBA players who can play in the NFL than vice versa.
