I mean if I can dunk, then anyone can. I'm only 5'7 for godsake! Just don’t be lazy and follow a training program like the one at snipurl[dot]com/nbatraining, it’ll increase your leaping ability and your basketball skills.
Man, why do people ALWAYS have to argue petty little bullshit in the comment sections for videos like this?? Can't you just appreciate the clip and shut up?? Why does EVERYTHING have to turn into an argument over who is tougher and more manly???
ur an idiot!!!! its becuz basketball takes skill and speed and there not playing on sodt grass u dumbass there playing on hard floor they fall on there ass it hurts in soccer u fall it doesnt hurt and plus in soccer u dont have to be accurate u see like 10 out of 20 balls miss the net in basketball u get touched and it barley ever goes in so shut ur mouth and stop bitching
im sorry but do u see a trained goalee in front of the basketball hoop? no u see a center which is very different in many ways. EVERYONE SHUT THE FUCK UP!! its just a video. no biggy. everyone has opinions. and i have nothing against u by the way and i agree with the thing about falling on the ground
have you ever heard about indoor soccer... they play on hard floor and they still dive.... i bet no basketball player could go 45 min without a rest,in basketball they rest like every 3 min
basketall players are also using their hands which comes very natural to humans. soccer players control the ball with their feet, while weaving through defenders at full sprint, and that full sprint is way faster than a basketball players. and its way easier to score in basketball, thats why you see about 100 shots sink a game while in soccer you usually see 2 or 3. and less contact is actually allowed in basketball than in soccer.
it depends. if you actually understand soccer, than it is a very entertaining sport to watch. however, people in america dont want complicated sports. they want simple sports that are not only easier to play, but to watch. removing offside would kill the sport and make scoring in soccer just as insignificant and easy as it is in basketball and adding backcourt is stupid. soccer is a possesion game. i guess if you like non-contact sports, basketball is great.
running and scoring is much more basketball than it soccer my friend. ya, theres a few bumps in the paint is basketball, none of that contact is very bad at all. soccer is much more of a contact sport than basketball is. theres more leagues than the mexican league that you are talking about. and youre talkin about everything getting whistled in soccer? what about skinning somebodys fingernail on a shot and getting whistled for a foul? or a reaching foul? thats a contact sport? youre dumb
ya..so not be allowed to touch their hands would be non-contact. id say the player with the ball should protect the ball better. oh, and im sorry, i didnt realize putting youre hand on somebodies back while they walked into the paint counted as contact. i consider actually putting strength into it to actually prevent them from getting into the paint contact.
basketball is a high scoring game because defenders arnt allowed to touch the player with the ball. smae thing happened with hockey in the nhl. they stopped allowing defenseman to play the body as much, and scoring increased dramatically. i have facts, you have ignorant opinions, im right, youre wrong :)
im saying that soccer is alright, but its being abused too much and some recently added rules are silly.
u can touch the ballhandler,just watch back2back play in the paint. you just cant kick ball handlers' hands. Its just like in soccer, where u arent allowed to tackle into feet, while not intending to tackle the ball,thats a foul there as well.
bball,especially in the paint is all about physical strenght and ability to body-up people.
i obviously know more about soccer than u kno about bball
there really isnt much contact in the paint. again, i dont consider simply putting your hand on a guys back contact. ya, there might be a bump here or there, but nothing rough. and apparently i know more about both soccer and basketball than you do. in soccer, you can take the feet as long as you get the ball first. in basketball, you can touch the ball and only the ball, at no time are you allowed to touch the player. in soccer, you can knock a guy off with your shoulder, in bball, its a foul.
im not tryin to bash basketball at all, i mena the things they are able to do in the air are amazing. but to argue which one is more fun to watch depends on the level of understanding of the sport. and to argue that basketball is a contact sport is laughable.
and youre saying that basketball doesnt have the same thing? i see way more guys in basketball selling calls than in soccer. every sport has those players, basketball just has more than other sports do. every time a guy gets tapped on the arm goin up for a dunk or lay up you see them flapping their arms like crazy and throwing the ball in a random direction to sell it. not to mention you are actually more vulnerable to injuries in soccer than in basketball.
actually no, basketball doesnt. the amount of running itself has caused heart-attacks and killed players. everytime a player tackles you as you try to shoot, pass or clear a ball is a potential career ending injury. all it takes is for them to catch your foot as you follow through and your leg is broken. dont lump soccer players in with those diving mexicans, not all of us play like that. and no, flapping arms like nba players is not normal. its about as fake as you get.
because all players play like ronaldo, right? LOL! there isnt a single basketball player in history that can stand up to the physical play of roy keane, tomas graveson, edgar davids, gattusso...should i go on? basketball players are pussies, get over it. "we grew up playin in the ghetto, so were hard!" such bullshit. half the soccer players in the world grew up playing in countries that are more poor than your stupid 1/2 mile large ghetto. get over yourself you ignorant ass.
not really. plays are a set pattern in which one person has to remember what theyre doing and the choosing of plays i based off of the tendency that the other team choses a certain play in a certain situation. basically youre playing the percentages. its a game of luck, not strategy.
ya, screw the game the game that you actually have to be active in and pay attention looking for openings in the defense. oh, and screw playing a team sport as a team. everybody that plays "American" sports preaches teamwork, yet they dont play the game that requires the most, which would be soccer. sorry, rather than playin percentages and hoping for the best, id rather play a sport that requires me to be aware and use my teammates around me to win.
Everytime a video like is put up, people bitch. Seriously, just stop. This is not put up to prove that soccer is better than any other sport, or vice versa. This is just Steve Nash playing another spot he loves to help raise money for charity.
So why does one sport have to be better than another? Forget 'manliness' or whatever else you may argue about. It doesn't matter as long as people enjoy them. Sports are there for fun, so stop ruining it for fans of soccer or whatever sport they like.
shut the fuck up with your gay little comments about it uniting people...
if you ever watch a match most players unlike ballack are honest and at least we dont have to wear a load of shitty padding cause we are scared of getting hurt
what is wrong with u? us sat ut us a gay sport but then ur all like oh it unites and its fun. make up ur fuckin mind. oh and ur a fuckin tard! basketball players fake all the time! that is all a part of contact sports!
yeah there was a even better veiw i got court side seats. wicked show the one on toronto was real good to. steve gave me the tickets this year so yeah it was free! wicked show
i admit nash is good at juggling but his skills are very basic
i can send you that doing my tricks and way better things than that and im just 16
but then you will tell about his mvp awards and things like that....
Nash is good but just because he is a basketball player and all gringos think he is the best because they have never seen someone juggling with a football
and about your latino comment what about Manu Ginovili?
There are too many insulting comments on youTube. And what's more hurtful is that most people comment without knowing exactly why the videos are posted.
Nash is not trying to prove that soccer is easy. He's a basketball star who just happens to play soccer as well. And he is not saying because he can juggle the ball anybody could do the same, or that he juggles better than a professional soccer player.
He is just doing what he loves to do. Don't judge him based on this video. He may not be a good soccer player, but if soccer was his career (as he had earlier intended) rather than basketball, he probably would have been a good player.
I am a soccer fan who thinks soccer is the best game in the world and that basketball, American football, and baseball aren't anywhere near it. But I know that I can't do what Nash does with the soccer ball.
Some times it's just better to shut up and watch the video.
Soccer is not gay. If your sayings it's gay then your the gay one. Go to Europe, Central/South America, Asia and ask if it's gay. It's the most beautiful sport in the world. Theres nothing like it.
Lmao @ "manliness". What do you mean by "manliness". You sound like you dont even know what your talking about. Seriously though.. explain to me what "manliness" is in your own words. Hmm i don't see anything so "manly" about baseball, basketball, tennis. What do you think? If you think sports are about "manliness" then you really dont know shit or probably havent played any sports in your entire life. I bet you cant even last 10 minutes on the pitch. You probably play pussy ass sports like golf
golf and tennis are sports that have royalty attached to them, loyalty and class, and that's why theres no contact. it's all in the game of the mind. also tigerwoods is the highest paid athelete, so you can shut the fuck up about it being a pussy sport.
stop diving and being gay. fucking soccer gay cunts.
Soccer isnt about whos the strongest or whos the toughest. Just because u see a player "dive" doesnt make it a "non-manly" sport. Thats all part of the game and if the ref cant tell the difference between a real foul and a simulated foul then its all on him, just like in every other sport. Just like in the NBA with offensive fouls like charging for example. Its so obvious some players "dive" back just to get the foul called on the offense. It all depends on the refs call.
You are pretty much officially retarded. Re-read everything you wrote, and I hope you see how fucking brainless you really are. If not, then there's really not any point in arguing with you.
