Football v Basketball: The Continuing Debate
By: chris | February 27th, 2009So after Daryl posted the Becks v KG bit yesterday, these lads decided that such a response requires another test of sorts and immediately set out to do their part in quashing the squabble. With one holding skills from basketball and the other in footy, they freestyled continuously in front of a camera for 8 mins to determine who has the most skillz. They’re both impressive, but you’ve got to believe the football wins. Why? Because it always wins. Suck it, Lebron.
And yes, alarms are sounding wildly in Nike’s advertising department as we speak.

The football is WAY better, but they made it WAY too long and they mostly repeated what they were doing. Still very impressive but BBall (as much as I love it) stands no chance. It is, after all, the beautiful game.

Yes Shawn… because we all know Yao could totally pull off all those moves… He can barely dribble the ball without tripping over his 5′ long legs and slamming into the half-empty court side seats…

Footballing takes way more skill. The bball is impressive, but not even close. Plus, us footballers do it all as gentleman, with finesse.

Hasty generalization is a logical fallacy of faulty generalization by reaching an inductive generalization based on insufficient evidence. It commonly involves basing a broad conclusion upon the statistics of a survey of a small group that fails to sufficiently represent the whole population.
The two kids in the video do not represent the whole of Basketball and Soccer. Can the World’s best footballer player freestyle like the kid in the video? Soccer is my favorite sport but I won’t go as far as saying that soccer requires more skill than basketball. Each sport has a few individuals with exceptional skills.

Football wins. Evidence? Minute 1:15: even the basketball dude can’t resist playing the ball with his feet.

Shaq as a goalkeeper…I know, I know, it isn’t showing any skillz but it’s still funny.

This competition can’t count because the football kid is showing off a skills that are essential to his game. The Basketball kid is practicing a skill that is periferal to his game. If would only have been an equivalent contest if the basketball kid was dribbling — and if you watch him in the backround he is a truly terrible dribbler.

Hmmm, I guess I should have read before posting, sorry for garbled English — must have coffee…

One thing about basketball, it is never boring. There’s always plenty of action from one side of the court to the other.
