Basketball V.S Soccer Dribblers

[Labadi_Mantse]

Making it o the NBA is more difficult simply because the average NBA player is 6'7" and there are only 430 spots.

But the amount of coordination it takes to dribble a ball with your feet like that is insane, dudes that are nice are identified at like 7 years old and picked up by pro clubs at like 13

No

There are cats in the NBA who didn't start playing until High School. In fact, there are basketball HOfers who didn't pick the game up until late in life. There is no such thing as a footballer, playing at the highest level--epl, LA Liga, international teams etc--, who hasn't been playing non stop since they were 5-7 years old. End of discussion.

Soccer was always way more harder for me. Dribbling a basketball is EZ stuff

 

[Roid Jones]

Its harder to control an object with your feet than with your hands, that is clearly obvious.

Now for any of you fools, that think i'm denigrating Basketball players and the skills required to play that sport at a high level I am not, so fukk you.

 

[Roid Jones]

Basketball, by far.

I've played both soccer and basketball, and find basketball harder because it requires more size and athleticism. Many more people can play soccer than basketball because of this. You can train a kid from about 10 to be a good player.

 

[Verbal Kint]

Those soccer players do a lot of slick ball hamdling for the priviledge to not score

Soccer.... by far.

When dribbling a basketball, you are using your HANDS, a function that isn't too distant from a hand's original purpose.

Learning to dribble a soccer ball, you have to learn how to change the mechanics of your feet to serve a different purpose.

Both are somewhat similar in the manner they are performed.
