Differences in Basketball vs Soccer Cultures

[OfTheCross]

To my hoopers and footballers...

What's some of the cultural differences y'all have noticed ?

For example:

In soccer, when a foul is committed and you're trying to show affection towards your counterpart it's not uncommon to touch his face.

In basketball, you touch somebody's face and you asking for trouble

That's more attributable to the cultures in which the sports are popular than the sports themselves though. If you touch somebody's face at a friendly/park soccer game in the US it prolly won't end well

But in basketball you can caress a guys sweaty buttocks and be totally fine

nah, it's because a foul is a foul in basketball, except in rare cases. in soccer you foul someone and then act real nice to dude so you show the ref you weren't being overaggressive and you can try to avoid a warning or a yellow

Basketball

I never understood the dap at the free-throw line thing. Why do EVERY-NBA-PLAYER do it. It's like they refuse to shoot the second FT if they dont get the daps

 

[Xerces]

In football in some countries fans can run on the pitch and the players will talk it up with them before the fan is thrown out

In soccer you can play defense and/or celebrate by touching a teammate's balls and be just fine

It's confidence building man.... Yall verse your opponents.

When I played ball, I needed them freethrow daps. I was a pretty bad FT shooter so it helped

It was a study in the nba they said the teams that touched each other a lot usually had better chemistry which led to more wins on the court

Edit: NBA Teams that Touch the Most Win the Most

There's only four other guys . You're just dapping up SQUAD whom are ALL in the immediate vicinity.

I think it comes from blacks dealing with white supremacy and we just want to let our LIL ONE know that WE ALL WE GOT, and knock them hoe ass FTs down my lil one!!!
