Remaking a new topic from years ago. Look let me get this straight, some NFL athletes are absurdly insane in athleticism. No one is beating Tyreek Hill in terms of explosiveness and speed. But am I wrong to say, that NBA players have the higher ceiling? Like if money and long term health weren’t a concern, if NBA players focused on training their bodies on prepping for football, their ceiling would be so much higher. Instead of Kyle Pitts we have KD at tight-end on the falcons, instead of Megatron on the Lions we have LeBron James on the Browns, 3 inches taller. I’m not saying they WOULD be better. But they have the POTENTIAL to be better, their ceiling is higher. Apparently this is a wild take. NBA players are tall, fast, and leap as high as a lot of NFL players.
None of them can touch some of those pro footballers (i.e. soccer). When I watch pro footballers at their peak, i.e. the World Cup, I feel like I am watching gods with superhuman abilities. The sheer full-body machine at work in most acrobatic and intensely strong maneuvering, some of those kicks that flip the whole body into the air like a whale jumping out of the water, that’s where I see the most impressive displays of athleticism.
Troll right?
I can honestly say I didn’t expect the reaction this comment got. Wow.
I’m really sorry I didn’t mean to offend anyone, just trying to participate. I feel really bad, I’m really sorry.
We’re talking about sports here
Hard disagree. Soccer is way more about skill and stamina than explosive athleticism.
The most athletic soccer players would be put to shame by top NFL athletes if they were competing in sprints, vertical leaps, or strength measurements.
Soccer players would annihilate most NFL players in a longer distance race, though.
