I think you can compare Jordan with Maradona. Henry is (or was) awesome, but the comparison must be: the greatest of basketball with the greatest of football.
Henry had some awesome years but no athlete in the world could compare to the accomplishments, talent, and skill Jordan possessed. If you never seen him play, you missed history. Everytime the guy touched the ball, it was like he just scored a goal in football. I'm a bigger football fan and I never seen a more dominant athlete than Jordan.. EVER.
Michael Jordan hands down, best athlete of all sports these last 20 years. Nobody did what he did, in fact people compare other great athletes to Jordan, not the contrary. Not even close vs Henry.
Impossible de comparer ces 2 sportifs. De 1 ce sont 2 sports complètements différents, de 2 s'il vous plaît Henry "une légende".... pfffffffff je n'ai jamais vu une star du foot si peut complète. pour marquer il faut arriver sur la gauche piquer à l'intérieur et shooter au 2ème il ne sait faire que ça. Sale caractère mauvais perdant carrière minuscule au barça(Tâche). Jordan no Comment Juste le plus grand sportif de tous les temps. même pour moi qui suis fan de foot.
All sports are good.. but you can't compere football and basketball players, and yeah as i see all write what sport of this two is better i will just say football (soccer for USA) is more famous in WORLD and football FIFA world cup is BIGEST event in sport there ever was and that how it will allways be.
The reason some people consider football boring is the lack of goals, but the lack of goals makes football more beautifull to watch...The joy that a football player gets from scoring a goal is much better then smoking marijuana because it doesen't happen so often like in basketball where everybody scores at least 5 baskets in a game...No dsrispect b.ball is my 2nd favorite sport and MJ is my superhero...
@doritosbombers LOL how he is not legend? he ain't just a good player man played in Arsenal when that team was the best almost every kid had his football shirt and that man invented a lot of football tricks that almost all use today. so i call that a Legend .
@Violentrl Then Lionel Messi and C.Ronaldo are Jordan Esque, i mean look at what messi's won and has yet to win, And don't forget Henrys Record is similar if you could compare to jordan, though basketball does'nt have a Real World Cup or European Championship soo again Henry's gone to a higher plane in that respect, and don't please doubt that i love the nba, but it does not have the global viewing a world cup has, the EPL has a bigger viewership than the nba.
To continue my point that wouldn't happen in soccer. Maybe to MLS players but they aren't the best in the world like NBA players are supposedly. Possibly why the US Olympic Basketball players aren't doing as well since the rest of the world has picked up the game and infuses it with more skilled shooting/passing. To my final point. Henry was only the best in a context of football while it was still improving. The NBA hasn't shown an enormous amount of progress since the end of Jordan's days.
Height was broken in basketball so they created a 3point line to keep tall players from COMPLETELY dominating. Possesion was broken so the shot clock was invented to keep the game moving. Strong dribbling with the ball on your side and the other side pusing off/over a defensemen was broken until charging huge guys from driving straight to the rim nonstop. There is no equivalent rule in soccer which keeps the game playable. How is dunking skill and not almost purely physical?
You can easily argue skill. How much of what Henry is doing is outside the realms of normal actions. Like I said handling a ball is easy. Possession in basketball is easy to the point that they need a shot clock to keep the game going. Anyway, basketball was designed to be a pick up and play game from the very start. And furthermore, basketball is largely based on height, strength and quickness. None of these are facets of skill merely physical attributes.
'The realms of normal actions'. They are normal actions. He is a skilled practitioner playing his sport.
'Handling a ball is easy'. WTF? Holding a ball is easy, just as standing with a ball at your toe is easy. You think it's easy to get the stage where you can make a ball do anything with your hands at lightning speed? If you think it's so easy you should put up a video of yourself demonstrating this.
My point is, nothing of this sort is easy, it can't be perfected.
To continue. The shot clock? All sports have had modifications in order to improve and attempt to perfect them.
Your point about the shot clock is like me saying, 'they had to bring the offside rule into soccer because it's so easy. All you have to do is kick a little ball over a line'.
Your point on physical attributes; basketball is developing and height is getting less and less important. It's arguable that lack of height, 'low centre of gravity' is an advantage in soccer.
Offsides is the only rule even close to the shot clock or the 3point line and it still doesn't break the game if you take it out. The growing number of goals scored from set peices and headers would indicate that height is becoming more advantegous. By "normal actions" I mean stuff a normal person could do. Holding a ball or throwing it is not very far outside of the realm of normal actions. Kicking one properly or dribbling certainly is.
I'll just respond to this as everything else you wrote in response doesn't deserve one.
Taking away the offside rule in soccer would absolutely 'break' the game, as you say.
Imagine soccer without it; it would be a game of kick the ball towards your opponents goal mouth and try and kick it in or keep it out; like a retarded version of rugby played only with the feet.
As I said, this is my second favourite sport; i'm not here to criticise it.
You seem to be here to criticise basketball. Stop.
To compare two athletes accomplishments in two different sports, you must first qualify the merits/shortcomings of both sports. Jordan isn't known for being the most SKILLED dribbler or anything like that. He was very quick and didn't often fail to score if he went for it. Jordan's reign over basketball is more dominate than Henry's in soccer. That alone doesn't qualify so many other aspects that I've tried list in my comments.
The point remains a dunk/layup allows for two steps (travelling in the NBA is usually missed anyway) and is usually preceded by a few quick steps and maybe 2 dribbles. It looks very impressive but when your 6'3 and your arm is 3ft long dunking isn't that difficult. No one body shape dominates soccer as you've said shorter and taller players have there advantages. I watched a pros vs. Joes episode where the pros got schooled by a team of former college players from small schools who never made it
i also agree that football skills are harder and all that foot vs hand thing but basketball skills are very hard to master because in basketball there is tight defence and u have to no how to manouver all the time and very rapidly, unlike football where you have alot of space and time and only a few violations.
u guys who r hating on basketball and americans and their sports are over ur head. the fact of basketball being unpopular compared to football is true; for the time being. world sport leaders are trying to bring up basketball but its too expencive compared to football. u dnt need much for foot but but a goal and a ball. u can even make ur own goal and it will still work, but u cant make a very good basketball ground or hoop.
MJ best athlete in the world. Does henry gets stats for dribbling all day? seriously? all i saw from him was just a bunch of dribbling skills although it was pretty sick but its not gonna get him some stats
Stats don't really mean very much in football. Stats don't win games and only simple sports like american football and basketball really bother to take close acount of them. Football stats are goals, assists, and . . . saves if your a keeper.
I just want people to take account for their comments. Yours were unjustified and ill-informed. I was looking to discuss not argue. Its what intelligent people do. whatever
damn you must be some kind of jury or something. Obviously this "discussion" will lead to an arguement have you seen any intelligent people in youtube lately? people always argue in this site so just leave me alone
Other rules have been introduced such as the 3 point line (to stop freakishly tall people from COMPLETELY dominating the game) and charging (to prevent freakishly huge people from running through everybody) exist to keep the game playable. I'm not saying MJ is unskilled but a great deal of his prowess is indebted to great physical attributes like quickness, speed, and jumping ability. Football is more balanced. A handful of physical extremes hasn't made a great out of any footballer.
then you should agree that football is a much more skilled sport. Basketball is 25% size, 40% physicallity(speed jumping ability overall strength) and about 35% skilled abilities like shooting and some passing. I live in a basketball crazy country so I can (say) plenty about the sport. Maintaining possession in basketball is such a fuckin cake walk which is why they had to impose the shot clock to stop the game from being monotenous passing.
holding something with your hands is second nature. Dribbling a soccer ball is totally unatural and takes way more skill. In soccer you need a certain fitness level to even be competent skill aside. In basketball physical ability not to mention the proper bodytype is more than half of the game. Messi's 5"6 and Ronaldos over 6"3 so size is mostly irrelevant. Soccer players use more body parts and can actually have the ball stolen from them. Enough said, soccer is way more skilled.
I mean in basketball you can hold the ball with both hands and no one can take it from you. You can usually dribble with one hand and shield opposing players with the other. Steals happen a lot less in basketball to the extent that they count it as a stat. Diposessing someone in football(soccer) happens so often that no one would bother to try and keep track. 1 v1 posession is much more difficult in football thats what I meant dumbass. Learn the sport b4 you try and compare them.
jordan is the best ever in basketball, but henry is not, that doesnt mean i dont like henry, his one of my favorites, but dont ever forget about pele. overall i like soccer more.
phones were invented in england, camera, air plane, first successful flight in england. you're talking out of your butt and the greek made porn ages ago, then it was 'developed' to what it is today in france.
yea if you do even a little contact in basketball everybody starts crying..nowadays in football u mostly dont even look at the ball u just tackle straight on the player. but i like them both
ahahahahahhaahahahahahaahahhahha nono rugby is for man ...ehm no ...boxe is for man ehmm mm -.... special forces of army is for man ..ehehehehem nno dragon ball is for man .. hahah wtf is for man???
Soccer is the BEST SPORT IN THE WORLD END OF STORY no matter how many Americans think Basketball is more popular..although Basketball is rather fun. SOCCER CAN TOP BASKETBALL!!!
sorry dude,nobody gives shit about basketball outside US.FOOTBALL IS THE BEST WITHOUT ANY QUESTION.ITS WORLDWIDE LOVE SPORTS AND HANDLING THE BALL WITH FEET IS MUCH HARDER THEN WITH UR HAND.
I used to play basketball.. then I switch to football playing the goalkeeper.. For me... football is way more popular. Basketball is only famous in the US. The rest of the world = football. Yes basketball is played outside the US, but it is not as big as football. Look at the world cup, the amount of people who watches football could easily outnumber the superbowl, basketball or baseball in the US.
football is played world over and is te most viewed sport on the planet. basketball is played only in america. i live in Uk and lots of people hve not herd of lebron james. both sports are fantastic bu football is more popular
Football is harder then basketball? I don't think so. I've done both of these sports and i like them both but scoring a spectaculare goal at football is way more easier then doing a spectaculare dunk on a 10ft high rim and professional basketballers gain more money then professional football players in england or spain.
WTF!? how can it be sooo easy to score a goal when the most amaizing matches end like 3-2? and how difficult could it be to score in basketball when in a normal match they score like 68-52???? 8=============================D
Both skills are hard I don't see why you all hating on the other sport. In basketball you need athleticism and skills and control with your hands, the same for soccer only you need skills with your feet.
they arent faster than football players, for gods sake, a basketball player may hit harder than a football player but we kick harder than basketball players, some of us smoke, and still playing and running faster than basketball players
soccer (not football -.-) is kicking a ball around the park - basketball is complete control and finesse. Football is strength and endurance, soccer sucks. Even baseball is better than soccer!
Lol Soccer isn't complete control and finesse? Soccer isn't strength and endurance? The football players at my high school used to say us soccer players were crazy as hell because theyd watch us run 4 miles BEFORE practice everyday! Control and finesse is the biggest part of being midfield and forward. Clearly you've never played the game. If you did you sucked and went out for a sport that you could handle. I'm not saying football sucks or basketball. Just saying your wrong and an idiot.
Dude WTF??!!! all I saw from soccer in this video is someone kickin the damn ball around...Basketball is hands down waaay more exciting...I mean cmon why the hell would a sport be exciting when youre only scoring under 10 points a game???
the question is too easy... Don't get me wrong. Henry can defenitily play but he never had the impact on football that MJ had on basketball. "Air" hands down
Yah baseball in my opinion is hella boring. U bat u run. u catch the ball u throw it to the dude in the plate, and the same thing happens for the whole game straight.
Quel blasphème de comparer Henry à Jordan, henry est un bon joueur certes (enfin quand il a envie), Jordan est une légende, dans le monde du foot seul Pelé aurait sa place dans une telle vidéo...
using hand for doing mad skills or tricks in basketball is easier than using leg to do some tricks in football, that's why watching basketball tricks is a common.
and it makes basketball the most popular sport in US and football the most popular sport in the world.
wth!!!jordan is a legend and everyone knows him..not like henry...he's not even the best...and he suck..so football does...single guy cant even win a game in football by himself..not like basketballl!!
We can't compare Henry a guy who plays now but not really well with a guy like Jordan a legend 2 time world champion on dunks and a huge player like everyone says with "the only one". this is my opinion
grannycakes are you serious. YOu think Henry couldve made NBA and even more appauling, is a better athlete than one of the greatest athletes in Jordan. Your rights to free speech has just been revoked. BTW they play different sports. Stop comparing them and making videos cuz you'll just create a rift between the two sports' fans.
you obviously dont know herny. he had a chance to make it pro basketball. he could have deffinetley played in the NBA. Jordan is a great athlete but in my mind i see henry as a better athlete. If you really know basketball you would have to say Jordan wasnt the best. yes he was a great scorer. he could take ANYONE on. but Chamberlin was the best basketball player of all time. the rules of the game were changed because of him.
people who commented on this video knw why i have chosen jordan vs henry. just because they 2 diffrent sports duz not mean you can not compare the players within their sports. The mean of this video is for you to make up your own mind on who revolutionised their sport more
henry is a better athlete. i dont beleive jordan was the best basketball player there was. henry had a chance to play basketball. he would have been a legend either way.
you are wrong. when Jordan was in the game NBA hat it's best times and then he was no doubtly the best but i admit, that many great players played there then.
Henry is a great athlete, i have heard that he has won 100 m in France before. He's tall, strong, extremely fast. Also technicious. Maybe one of the most remarkable players of all times.
Athletism is common to Jordan and Henry. Henry is more technicious, but in basketball Jordan is a greater player. He has something difficult to describe
Henry would have been the best basketball player ever if he had wanted to. I doubt jordan has the level of co ordination to play football at the highests level. Henry competes against the best athletes in the world. Jordan only played against one countries worth of athletes. Henry is a far superior athlete yet he isn't even the best footballer in the world.
please view my other videos. i have 2 more videos currently underway will be completed soon for your
enjoyment..
i don't comment to much on my own videos but i would like to say thank you to all the people who have made nice comments about this video and other videos too. it is greatly appreciated, if you guys like it i will keep making more....... thanks
its is a very random comparison to make i know, but these two players are really good at what they do. It was a big risk doing videos like this but its all in good fun please enjoy...
jordan is a guy who being 40 years old could score 40 points in a match, being one of the most athletic guys that ive ever seen. also, the difficulty of the basketball is very high. henry is at this moment the best soccer player of the planet with ronaldinho and whether van nistelrooy has mite score 26 goals on this season titi can do it better!! excuse me, im spanish and im not a very good english writer

I used to play basketball.. then I switch to football playing the goalkeeper.. For me... football is way more popular. Basketball is only famous in the US. The rest of the world = football. Yes basketball is played outside the US, but it is not as big as football. Look at the world cup, the amount of people who watches football could easily outnumber the superbowl, basketball or baseball in the US.

what are you talking about, we are comparing football vs basketball, not football vs the NBA.
and people all around europe play basketball, africa is dominated by football, but thats the only one, the rest of the world play basketball.
ballerzblock7 3 years ago
WTF!? its not soccer you fools, its football,
its the sport most played in all the world,
its much harder and better than basketball (how harder can it be when in a match each team scores more than 40 times!?),
the fact that the USA ssssssssuuucks at football doesnt mean its worst than other sport,
when actually the USA invent those sports like basketball, baseball, and american football just because they suck at real football.
faggots
lol
Burgys 3 years ago
Football is harder then basketball? I don't think so. I've done both of these sports and i like them both but scoring a spectaculare goal at football is way more easier then doing a spectaculare dunk on a 10ft high rim and professional basketballers gain more money then professional football players in england or spain.

Both skills are hard I don't see why you all hating on the other sport. In basketball you need athleticism and skills and control with your hands, the same for soccer only you need skills with your feet.

they arent faster than football players, for gods sake, a basketball player may hit harder than a football player but we kick harder than basketball players, some of us smoke, and still playing and running faster than basketball players

soccer (not football -.-) is kicking a ball around the park - basketball is complete control and finesse. Football is strength and endurance, soccer sucks. Even baseball is better than soccer!
kid4ever32 3 years ago
Lol Soccer isn't complete control and finesse? Soccer isn't strength and endurance? The football players at my high school used to say us soccer players were crazy as hell because theyd watch us run 4 miles BEFORE practice everyday! Control and finesse is the biggest part of being midfield and forward. Clearly you've never played the game. If you did you sucked and went out for a sport that you could handle. I'm not saying football sucks or basketball. Just saying your wrong and an idiot.
jklivn25 3 years ago

using hand for doing mad skills or tricks in basketball is easier than using leg to do some tricks in football, that's why watching basketball tricks is a common.
and it makes basketball the most popular sport in US and football the most popular sport in the world.

grannycakes are you serious. YOu think Henry couldve made NBA and even more appauling, is a better athlete than one of the greatest athletes in Jordan. Your rights to free speech has just been revoked. BTW they play different sports. Stop comparing them and making videos cuz you'll just create a rift between the two sports' fans.
karmascope 4 years ago
you obviously dont know herny. he had a chance to make it pro basketball. he could have deffinetley played in the NBA. Jordan is a great athlete but in my mind i see henry as a better athlete. If you really know basketball you would have to say Jordan wasnt the best. yes he was a great scorer. he could take ANYONE on. but Chamberlin was the best basketball player of all time. the rules of the game were changed because of him.

henry is a better athlete. i dont beleive jordan was the best basketball player there was. henry had a chance to play basketball. he would have been a legend either way.
grannycakes753 4 years ago
you are wrong. when Jordan was in the game NBA hat it's best times and then he was no doubtly the best but i admit, that many great players played there then.
Henry is a great athlete, i have heard that he has won 100 m in France before. He's tall, strong, extremely fast. Also technicious. Maybe one of the most remarkable players of all times.
Athletism is common to Jordan and Henry. Henry is more technicious, but in basketball Jordan is a greater player. He has something difficult to describe

Henry would have been the best basketball player ever if he had wanted to. I doubt jordan has the level of co ordination to play football at the highests level. Henry competes against the best athletes in the world. Jordan only played against one countries worth of athletes. Henry is a far superior athlete yet he isn't even the best footballer in the world.

jordan is a guy who being 40 years old could score 40 points in a match, being one of the most athletic guys that ive ever seen. also, the difficulty of the basketball is very high. henry is at this moment the best soccer player of the planet with ronaldinho and whether van nistelrooy has mite score 26 goals on this season titi can do it better!! excuse me, im spanish and im not a very good english writer
