Dallas Cowboys pass rusher Micah Parsons pushed back former NBA guard Lou Williams' assertion that the NBA-NFL player debate isn't a 'physicality conversation.'

Dallas Cowboys star Micah Parsons weighed in on the debate over whether NBA players could fit into the NFL and vice versa as he responded to former guard Lou Williams. Williams, a three-time Sixth Man of the Year winner, said on the 'Underground Lounge' he thought 'everybody should respect everybody’s craft.' He didn’t think there were 30 NBA players who could play in the NFL nor did he think the opposite.

My problem where this conversation is going is I don’t like the fact that the NFL players are saying, their argument is, ‘Y’all soft. Y’all flop.’ This and that,' Williams said. 'Let’s be clear, y’all motherf---ers flop too. Is football more than running, jumping, catching? Hell yeah. It’s agility It’s smart. It’s chess. It’s being able to beat your man off the line. Trying to teach somebody in front of you that’s trying to beat you off the line. 'I respect all of that s---.

Parsons participated in the NBA All-Star Celebrity Game in February. He scored 37 points and grabbed 16 rebounds. The entire debate started last week when Austin Rivers claimed he could take 30 NBA players and work them seamlessly into the NFL, during an interview on 'The Pat McAfee Show.' 'You cannot take 30 NFL players and put them in the NBA,' Rivers said. Amid criticism from J.J. Watt, Rivers further explained his points. '@JJWatt played 11 years broski.
