Football v Basketball: The Continuing Debate

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

Hmmm, I guess I should have read before posting, sorry for garbled English -- must have coffee...

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.

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

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

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.

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

basketball guy is well nicer

que locos!

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...

see, this doesn't count because the basketball player is an asian not named yao ming. get me a young black kid from the ghetto in philly, and we'll talk.

Speaking of freestyles, here is a very funny freestyle

Ha! Ha!

"Suck it, Lebron" Classy.

Was this really a response to the Nike video?

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.
