Messi and Ronaldo vs MJ and KOBE Highlights-Superior sport

[K.O.N.Y]

MJ and Kobe would be goalkeepers because of their height, provided they are agile enough I could see it working.
Any other position and they would fail, at some point height becomes a disadvantage not an advantage.

Cristiano Ronaldo is 6'2 and an incredible athlete, I can see him being a point guard provided he trained his entire life.

what would allen iverson kyrie irving or steph curry be

 

[posterchild336]

because he was more of a basketball player than a soccer player. That simple

what?

okay so how come a once in a generation soccer athlete cant excel in your sport again?
Usain bolt is once in a lifetime athlete are you saying he could play soccer and football but not basketball either?

usain could do whatever he wanted with a lifetime of training*

what would allen iverson kyrie irving or steph curry be

They would flourish as attacking kids or deep lying play makers

no, just because one is good in one thing does not mean they will be good in another...thats why its a "special talent".

Failures. Like every other American who's tried and failed to make an impact on the sport.

If they started young and were in a European youth academy from the age of 4 ( no joke, you need to get in early), who knows, maybe they become world beaters and maybe they don't.

Failures. Like every other single American who's tried and failed to make an impact on the sport.

Saying AMERICANS try to make an impact on the sport is disingenuous

Americans entertain soccer or Futbol as children than go on and grow up to play real sports

Girls are better suited for soccer in america. And them broads got like three world cup victories

Zlatan is the only forward I know of with NBA height who became world class, like I said before Size does not equal success in this sport. Messi is 5'7 and he's possibly the greatest of all time in part due to his short stature which gives him a lower center of gravity.

selective bias they don't train big kids to play on the front line
zlatan slipped through he was probably too bullheaded to let them stick him in the back in the defensive half
you have athletes that are elite by every measure you would stick them between the post just because they're tall¿

nah real life created player swagg is wear it's at muahahahahaa put the tanks up front jajajahahaa

What triggered me and had me so completely outraged


Was the disrespect for Michael jordan's skill and legacy shown by negropeans which is an attack on the sport of basketball.

Where?

So far with three pages in. Nobody has addressed the original post i made

What point? Theres no argument detailing why basketball is better than soccer in the OP. You just posted a couple of videos.

 

[Black Nate Grey]

height is always a benefit they'd be the ill target men in the center
and still be elite enough to dribble circles around defenders and hold them off the ball etc.

crissy could come off the bench maybe if he worked real hard
and 6'2 is being generous be real jahahahahaa

Again, Zlatan is the only NBA height center forward to be world class, and that's because he is supremely skilled, god like technique, and great dribbler.
He doesn't even score as much headers as he should, Falcao heads the ball better than Zlatan, he's known for goals that have been long shots.

I disagree

Most players of their size have poor ball control, are slow, Are easily marked, or other handicaps. In addition soccer is much more physical (way more contact is allowed plus 90 minutes games with only three subs)

Lebron and Kobe could be good center forwards but they don't fit the skill set/profile of the best forwards

Not to mention center forwards are dying out as a position

athletes like mj and kobe have elite body control they'd be money on ball
and the physicality is irrelevant when they got healthy strength/weight advantage over their defenders
they could play anywhere in the offensive half

ignore the fact that they are tall as fukk they'd still be elite in every category on the pitch muahahahahaa

Jordans highlights are better than messi's and ronaldos

People tried to say messi and roaldo were better at their sports than jordan was at basketball. Which is a declaration of warfare

Disingenuous? No point in this existing then, they should just shut it down, since they don't try to make an impact or win or anything, right. Should just shut this basura down, and stick to being "World" champions in sports with no real global appeal.
(Since you probably, don't know that's the crest for your football federation)

the point is height doesn't mean you can't be a star football/soccer player
not to mention zlatan is nowhere close to being on the level of top nba athletes out side being 6'4
skill technique dribbling largely rest on time invested practicing

so imagine a way more explosive fluid zlatan
