I played both most people can play soccer Not basketball. I'm not talking about position 3 , 4 or 5 either Not everyone can do what Isaiah Thomas does. That takes skill. In soccer you may not have to play defense for the whole game. It's mostly running up and down the field and passing the ball. All you nikkas are tripping.:hhh:

Everyone in this thread is probably better a soccer then they are basketball thats a fact. If Westbrook went to play soccer he would be the goat.

Most people can kick a ball...most people cannot dribble I'll give you that....

But everyone can pass a basketball...and not every one can pass a soccerball...

different sports different skillsets...westbrook would play similar prolly to a player like Alexis Sanchez....great talent, super athlete, awesome strength and in the end wholly ineffective at making his TEAM better.

Hold on pleighboi.

Russ applies pressure to the defense everytime the ball is in his hands.

Slow down with the hyperbole

i agree footballers utilize more skill

but hoopers utilize elite skill & elite physical attributes by every measure

elite footballers are made more than they are born

elite hooper's are more born than they are made

nature vs. nurture ya dig¿

if you took some elite footballers from their start & brought them up playing hoops they'd have a harder time reaching that elite level

than say the reverse take some elite hoopers & put them through the same training as elite footballers they'd have no issue reaching the elite level

the barrier to being an elite footballer is the quality of your training

the barrier to being an elite hooper is more your genetic inheritance

part of footballs appeal is the common man can relate elite status is achievable even if you're 5'2 & not a freak athlete

it's the reverse for hoops them cats are in the .1% of athletes

even the cats closest to average height/build are weird in their own way ridiculous wingspans crazy explosive larger heart/lungs shyte like that

i fukk with football too

but like i said hoops is the king of ball.games

:blessed:

:russ:every country in the whole world has football players yet only a few are chosen..elite footballers are born..the GOATS were all discovered before they were in 10 years old and like u said nurtured..compare that to HOF like Rodman who started later in his youth..not taking away from bball but you off the mark on this one breh...i got respect for all sports (tennis over bball too)but lets not compare a sport mostly played in one country to one that stops the whole world..breh to make the cut in over more than 200 million other contestants will make u an elite athlete..

Casually forget about the other 11 nikkas on the field that you have to score against, brehs. :russ:

Your posts are rife with the most flawed logic I've ever seen.
Your post doesn't have *any* logic or common sense applied to it :manny:. You're just passionate soccer fans nothing else matters in your world

having the right clubs invest in you & landing in the right situation counts for a lot in football

the amount of people playing top level football doesn't help make your point

it enforces what i am saying about how rare the elite hoopers are

then you say tennis over hoops jahahahahaa

:mjlol:

peace be with you brehbruh

is it safe to say compared to most nba players most elite footballers (Africans, asians and some europeans)come from poorer local clubs compared to wealthy universities in the US. and with footballers u dont get a chance to get an education in the process..one trial and thats it...either u in or forgotten

how :russ:..if one out of every 50 million makes the cut dont that make them elite? if it were that easy i wud be in russia right now getting paid too..instead ur point enforces the ol' american ''dallas cowboys are football world champions'' despite the fact ur the only country that plays that sport in the whole world:russ:

then you say tennis over hoops jahahahahaa

elite goes hand in hand with rarity

athletes with the physical tools to be dominant hoopers are not common

any able bodied individual given enough skill development can be a pro footballer

you can't teach 6'6ft. or 40+ inch vert or +9 wingspan though

i know i was in a youth tennis program as a youngin*

Soccer requires more athleticism and basketball requires more skills. There is less room for error in terms of scoring points because the hoop is small, the goal for soccer is much larger, it's the endurance and coming up with good ways to break the defense that scores points, but really, wide open if you get a shot on target. Basketball is more dependent on skill, you need to be able to make shots because of quick turn-around. Soccer, you're not expecting anything more than 3 goals per game on average.

Good question, for soccer fans, jogging around a big field kicking a ball for 3 hours and scoring once every other or two games is "athletic"

Or maybe they mean when those guys balance the ball on their heads and bounce it up or down or when they bounce it back and fourth on their toes 10 times. ...it's a sport for sure, but to compare them athletically to the most gifted skilled positions in football (WRs, RBs, FSs, CBs, FS's) and NBA PGs and SGs is just ridiculous the more that I think about it.
