If an American NBA star like Kevin Durant played divegrass, could

>>74444692
His athleticism doesn't translate well to the sport, you need more skill than just being really fast. He has no technical skills whatsoever, he wouldn't last one game.

>>74444741
He needs exactly one technical skill, aka heading the ball.

No, tall people tend to suck at football. See Crouch

If he played football he'd be a goalkeeper, and no one cares about them

>>74444692
Cone on now, one slide tackle and he might end up paralyzed with those glass bones

>>74444772
I don't know if you are trying to be funny or something but I think there's a bit of an athleticism gap between Crouch and Kevin Fucking Durant.

>>74444834
What's athletic about Durant? He does nothing but jump

Soccer is a thinking man's sport, for some reason there aren't many elite black players (memes aside)

>>74444870
Brazil and Argentina are good at it so obviously it's a low IQ sports.

>>74444880
Using your Ameritard logic, Lacina Traore a 6 ft 8 footballer, should be the best player in the world. (Which he is far from)

>>74444880
All countries have dumb and smart people

You are just using ad hominems at this point, why do you even bother making a bait theead if after 2 replies yo get BTFO and start going apeshit?

>>74444692
Yeah but KD's a little bitch. Fuck Kevin Durant.

>>74444917
Is Lacina Traore an NBA star? You are talking apples and oranges.

>>74444692
Basketball players make up for good goalkeepers, that's about it, it's hard to make the transition to a sport that requires you to be skilled with your feet than your hands.

>>74444444
where's this

Basketball athleticism is pretty different and basketball skills do not translate to soccer at all

He'd be a centre back if he can head the ball high and away. Scoring from them requires more strength and ability to aim the header better

Soccer players spend their whole life handling a ball with their feet. Basketball players spend their whole life handling a ball with their hands. Neither translates well to either sport.
Ever seen a pro soccer or pro ball player try the other sport? They look like children.

Nash's got some skill

Maybe, but he'd probably be a meme player.

I know for a fact though that NBA players would dominate handball. It would be unfair.

>>74444741
He has technical skill, it's just not the same set of skills as soccer.

Soccer and basketball are like polar opposite sports.

>>74444974
He could be good at heading yes but if a team have him up front the opposition would easily know that that is his only strength and would just focus on denying crossing positions making him a waste of a position

>>74445355
Nash actually played the sport as a kid

Messi is so fast at dribbling literally no one in the NBA could stop him. He also has the racial advantage on his side.

>>74444870
>for some reason there aren't many elite black players (memes aside)

Because it's played mostly in countries without many blacks (except Brazil, who produce black superstars all the time). We're seeing more and more elite black players as European academies start doing a better job of scouting in Africa, and as more Africans migrate to Europe.

>>74444692
Durant is 6'10". He would be useless at any position except goalkeeper.

>it's americans rate their athletes in other sports because of physical ability that doesn't translate at all

>>74444741
This man who dominate your game though.

Imagine prime Barry on the Pitch.

>>74444692
Probably a pretty decent keeper, but otherwise Arsenal and English soccer in general has proven you need more then being fast and black

>>74445170
What about Pogba, Griezmann, and Lukakku?

another day another thread by an american who doesn't understand that football has a lot of professional players who are a beanpole or can lift a car but are still utter shit compared to CL-level players

>>74444772
Crouch is a severely underrated lad.

>>74453007
I think everyone understands, it's just thinly-veiled /int/ shitposting at this point. Kind of like half the threads on this board.
