i want people's opinion. I think it's the easiest sport out of mlb, nhl, nfl, mls, etc. the reasons are: anyone can play basketball; I can walk down any city and count at least 5+ basketball courts. everyone does play basketball. An able body can shoot, pass, defend, block like it's an instinct rather than having to learn how to do it. If ur tall, be our center/PF!. If you can jump, ur superman! any great athlete can excel at basketball. if you want to cheat, just pretended you got fouled. everyone claims their the best in basketball! its an ovverated sport, u just need to do it regularly, have athleticsm, have hops, be able to dribble//handle a ball (which 75% of people can do), be tall,..shoot a ball in a hole..c'mon a bum can play basketball and make a 3pt 5 out of 10 just because of luck!
hm.. i read some good points, but what im really trying to get across is when ever do you hear from a "average" person lets go play hockey,( not anyone can skate/control a stick+puck), lets play baseball (I known not everyone can hit a baseball even if I was going to throw a floater,nonetheless hit a 95 mph fastball which is scientifically the hardest thing to do). Not anyone will be able to play football, because of the physical demands of it/people getting hurt).soccer not everyone can control a ball with their legs only, and run 100 yards back and forth.basketball anyone can play and with repeated play can get good. all the other sports need 5x more skill than basketball.
fat basketball players lol..i remember keith traylor, and i guess glen davis is pretty fat if you ask me..but basketball also has a stereotype that is more believable than any other sport and that is height.. so sometimes basketball players are not the elite, 7 footers means a lot to basketball and a lot of them are not that good.
