Lou Williams, the three-time Sixth Man of the Year winner, has joined the NBA-NFL player debate on his podcast “Underground Lounge”. He shared his insight, where he acknowledged both sides of the argument.

Williams respected athletes in both sports. However, he disagreed with the idea that 30 players could transition from one sport to the other, professionally. He sided with his fellow NBA players, and objected to the notion that they are “soft”.

But when we start getting into the conversation about basketball players being soft, basketball is more contact that we get credit for. There's pu**ies on both sides, bro. I don't want this conversation to get swayed like we the only one who's p**sies.

Yeah I think fans talking about, ‘ohh he should. Y’all; go shut the f**k up, you and your parlays. 100% did the right thing, go be with your family, go see your child being born, like those are moments for life. Let’s say your wife have a f*cking complication, and you on the court warming up. Like come on bro, what are we talking about?
