Basketball players cause the money is guarenteed.
If a Football player gets cut he doesn't get a dime, but if a Basketball player gets cut they still get the remander of the contract (example: Penny Hardaway this year)

Per game basis, football players get more. Think about it, a NFL season is 16 games versus the 72 of the NBA. So the short term NFL make more, but then NBA have the longer career.

football because even though there is forty more players than basketball the salary cap is close to ten times what basketball salary caps are
i.e. Orlando Pace signed a one year deal worth 42.5 million dollars last year
