Nate is tough. He is just small, old, and has no idea how to fight at all lol.

But he's a tough little fella, and was a tough as nails football player as well, if we're trying to imply that basketball vs football would convey some sort of fighting ability lol.

I know this is a basketball forum, but people really do overrate nba players in almost any hypothetical scenario.

Only Gronk does have wrestling and mma training, on top of much more stability/core training. Gronk would take him down in a sec and pound him out.

And it's well warranted - They're big and athletic .. Nate on the other hand is a small man. An average NBA player is around 6'6 and towers over Jake Paul.

200 pounds in boxing shape is a pretty good sized dude though. It's not a huge man but most nba players who are 6'1 would likely come in smaller than 200 at the same body fat/water level. NBA athletes are really tall, really long, and generally are pretty darn slender.

The list of injuries and surgeries for Gronkowski during his previous 10 NFL seasons. It includes a fractured vertebrae, two forearm fractures, pulled hip, ankle sprain, bulging disc in his back, torn right MCL and ACL, hamstring pull, herniated disc and concussion to name a few.

Will go by very very slowly.


I swear I lost count how many non NBA celebs/athletes they tried to pit against Zion. He ain't an MMA fighter or supposed tough guy.


Let this kid be, its the off season, let him just stuff his face while watching bad Naruto fillers, daydreaming about Sakuras pink bush.


His freakish strong man appearance is misunderstood. Like that's all he is to you. He reminds me of the tragic cartoon tale of Ferdinand the bull:

We know zion is big and strong and can dish it out on the basketball court. We know gronk is big and strong and can dish it out AND take it too. Going with gronk.

Gronk can probably beat ZIon, but I would cheer for Zion, seems like a nice guy, Gronk is just ultimate douche, not my type of person at all. But I will never get fascination of who can beat what, what is appeal of that, maybe I am just not a fan of fighting sports, in fact I am a hater of those, but I never have of those thoughts, who could beat who, unless people are actually start fighting or are close to starting a fight. lIke Tuchell and Conte last week haha. Then its for sure is unavoidable to think.
