Considering soccer is played by 5'10 manlets, how many 100s

>>76739725

lebron would probably be a GK in football, the time for big tall forward players is gone a long time ago.

Considering there isn't a single good player taller than 6'6'', I doubt he'd be any good at it

Football takes skills, not just athleticism like American sports. It's hard to dribble around or run with the ball on your feet when you are a big guy

>>76739725
He'd be terrible. He's not even a skilled basketball player, he relies solely on his physique to bully himself into the paint and lay it in. You can't do that in football. He'd be real scary though if he had good defending skills.

Why are Americans retarded

soccer players aren't even athletes by my standard

what's their average height? pencil necked fruticakes. I could literally take down and choke out any soccer player on the planet.

You fat retards make me literally sick. You're so obsessed with worshiping BBC affletes that you probably can't even play actual sports outside without making self-deprecating "I'm bad at this because I'm white" jokes. Literally 99% of soccer haters in America are like this so don't even deny it.

>>76739725
America could probably take the world by surprise if they tried to implement a gameplan involving the physicality of their athletes and not just throw some chicanos to play whatever everyone else is doing, but at a lower quality.

If guys like Allen Iverson played soccer, we'd win the World Cup every year. We can also stick the LeBron/Shaq types in goal good luck against them desu

In both sports you need both good athletic features and good skill

But in basket ball is like 70% athletic abiities and 30% technical abilities (hence why players like De Andre Jordan with limited skill set can be elite)

In football it's the opposite, hence why players with poor physical abilities can still be very (aka Pirlo or Riquelme)

And above that there is the fact taht football requires endurance and quick accelerations and changing directions so manlets are advantaged while in basketball you benefit from being tall and jumping high which is pretty much useless in football

So no Lebron wouldn't dominate in football.

You seem pretty amused right now, and I haven't even pull it out. Imagine your mum.

Not really a soccer fan, but my guess is that 'Bron could join the Premiere League and be a star player within a year or so.

He wouldn't be good at first, but he's a relentless competitor and would quickly figure out how to play the game. He would do a bunch of sport-specific training. I'm sure that in a season or two he would be absolutely running the table on dudes like Messi, Rolando etc.

>>76741125
>basketball players jump high
>basketball players are athletic
When will this meme die? The average NBA player has a 28 inch vertical leap which anyone can reach with training. Basketball is a game dominated by height. Players with height and long limbs (Kevin Durant) are the ideal body type because their shots are harder to block and they can contest shots more easily. Players who lack height+reach usually have to compensate by having long range shooting (Curry) or being the actual 5% who are truly athletic (think Blake Griffin, who has a 7 foot wingspan yet is still seen as alligator armed, imagine that)

>>76742163
That's because there's never been tactics designed for a team of this type of athlete.

Loling at this they havent seen negros like our negros bait, ameribros.

Truth is if Lebron cut he'd be an attacking player or a goalkeeper. Almost strictly a poacher. He'd need to cut a ton of bulk because being tall is not energy efficient. Some staminanimal manlet would make him look like a bitch by the 60th minute as is.

Being short is actually useful in soccer. Having a lower centre of gravity and shorter strides allows you to maintain pace while still controlling the ball.

>>76739725
LeBron is arguably the GOAt in basketball, but soccer is completely different and he wouldn't be a player of any note.
Might be good in goal, though.
That'd be his best chance.
Maybe if he becomes a gambling addict and get busted and be banned by the league and then pretends he's "decided" to try playing soccer for a couple of years, we'll get the chance to see how good he can be.
*Not that that scenario has ever played itself out in the NBA before.*

>>76753402
So he'd be shit the entire season aside from the last ten matches?
Also you have to go back, Juan

Ronaldo's technical ability has been shit for years now, you can easily find dozens of embarrasing plays of his just from the last season alone and still he dominates. I don't see why so many of you are this quick to rule lebron out of the game. Current Ronaldo's strong points are his finishing, positioning and jumping power. No more, no less. Lebron obviously would easily be even more of an aerial threat than Ronaldo, finishing can be improved with training (even if he never reaches Ronaldo's level) and positioning can be learned. Lebron is a pretty smart player so I think it wouldn't take long for him to understand where he needs to be.

I guess the bigger issue would be his mentality. Great players are often reduced to nothing when it matters, look at Messi. If he underwent hypnosis to believe every single game he takes part in is irrelevant he'd probably be the greatest ever but he just can't take the pressure and always screws up in big games. Since I don't watch a lot of basketball I don't know whether lebron is a choker but I think he'd be a dangerous centre-forward at least.

If you look at successful short goalkeepers you'll notice a lot of them have tremendously long arms and basically can reach as high as significantly taller GKs.

>>76739725
Maybe Big Sam would hire him, could be a target man monster.

Lebron could also have been Rory Delap 2.0

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h7-mGH6X3PI


He'd have to be lighter though unless he's playing GK.

>>76740036
Absolutely not, his build is very different from an archetypical sprinter.
Usain Bolt's dominance came from the fact that he basically combined the fast start of a smaller man with an enormous stride.

Most really tall guys would never sprint like Usain because they lack acceleration.
That's why Usain is special. Not because he is tall but because despite being tall his acceleration is still great.
