Soccer better look out. Basketball is slowly growing globally. But I honestly think Soccer will always be number 1 globally simply because there is really no height requirement to soccer which probably will influence more of the dominate demographic of average height people.
@@anthonygordon9483 1. Its football 2. Dont tell me its not 3. The fact that ur immediately focused on height shows y americans will never understand football and y its so popular
@@anthonygordon9483 the pure reason why football popular because football is the only sport that can be played anywhere, anytime, and even without any equipment.
@@nejw8w9ws I agree. I should of mentioned that too. Its soccer to me. If I was where you were at . I would call it football. But Im typing from america where its called soccer.
1.88 is also an ideal size. Anyway it would still fully depend on how well he can kick the ball, which is something which you can't ever know how talented someone is.
@@MrKLeBlanc That's not true. Height isn"t as important in football, so even a short person can be goated, but height is still a bonus, that's why their average height is still above the normal population, and that on some position like Central defender or even in some role like Pivot striker (ibrahimovic, Giroud,...) you actually are a lot higher than average height.
@@ledernierutopiste You are right, height have an importance for CBs, Keepers and some specific profiles of CFs. As for all the other positions, height is not important and can even be detrimental. Tall players like the ones you mentioned make for a very small percentage of all the players. You can even make an argument that the likes of Giroud and Zlatan would be better players if they were shorter. Zlatan type of play in particular would benefit greatly from a lower center of gravity. Giroud on the other hand is almost a CB playing CF. His main role in a team is to deflect aerial balls towards his teammates, and physically hold up CB's his size: Being tall is mostly beneficial for a target man. Height being a bonus for all players though can't be further from the truth. You give Curry's height to Maradona and Messi , and they'll for sure improve at scoring headers but on the other hand they'd lose a lot of what makes them goated like the ability to change direction in a fraction of a second for example..
Lauri Markkanen's brother played for Makassar I think? They played against us, a Filipino club, in the Asian equivalent of UEL. No wonder he's good at footie as well.
It's not a coincidence that they go hand in hand.... footwork, agility, cardio, getting open, understanding angles, knowing where your teammates are, passing around for the highest percentage shot.... If you want to get better at basketball then you should play a littler soccer every once in awhile and vice versa. The skills are transferable.
I don't buy into the argument that the best American athletes would've been great at soccer too, but Kobe is one of the few American athletes that I think would've been All-Time great at soccer if it was more popular in the US.
If this is what you call “playing football” you need more education about this topic. This is called juggling not actual playing, that needs technical ability, dribbling, defensive awareness, strength on and off the ball, defensive cohesion, defensive positioning, runs on and off the ball, passing ability both long and short range, timing the strength of the ball depending on the situation, crazy amount of stamina, headering ability, communication, heart, and tactical mind, and I can keep naming things for a long time. But it’s your opinion bro and I respect that

Since Kobe grew up in Italy and played soccer there it's not a surprise
But thats an french team
@@imansubba7451 he was friends with neymar but he grew up supporting ac milan
I never knew that he grew up in italy
@@blueshinobi8665 yes, that's why he also had so much love for maradona, he grew up watching him play in Napoles
"Football"
Steve Nash is genuinely unreal, played at a really high level when he was younger, his brother played internationally for Canada.
Yeah
He can do around the world with both legs i can't do it neither😄
Nash is incredibly skilled at multiple sports, basketball, tennis, hockey, lacrosse, soccer, skateboarding. Amazing hand eye coordination.
2:36 that’s touch is crazy😵💫
Amen... that was madness
that was really golden touch🍻🍻
joel has insane touch for being 7’2 lmao
Agree
And Jokic. I could see why they have such great coordination for bigs
Man is joel 7'2? I think he's like 7'0 and a half
he as a goalkeeper...
@MULA SLEEZY BOOM BOOM bro either way do u not realize how wild that is
Nash did 2 around the worlds back to back on botch feet and smooth af. Thats nuts.
Pretty sure he is the best NBA player ever when it comes to secondary soccer skills
That was pretty neat
2:36 I love this part 👍🔥🔥
That control Was amazing
Who is it?
@@nejw8w9ws luka
Every man absolutely like football/soccer, Whether playing, watching, or just knowing the name of the club and player

2:36 Luka Doncic touch for a Basketball player is insane .... WTF !!
Steve Nash Double around the world is a top notch
2:36 that touch is Zidane like.
Luka Magic
0:40 haha that's the real football skill.
Sterling says hi to that
neymar : roll longer
Best Ankle breaker
Just like ronaldo,tapping king
I hate the bland stereotype that Football ⚽️ is soft 😮💨😒
2:36 insane touch
That beachsoccer save from Embid proves he knows what he's doing.
I have feeling if Steph was born in Europe he be killing it in soccer. He has precision and court iq.

Those Steve Nash around the worlds looked cold yeah?!
Love all these young MVPs bringing soccer style to basketball fancy passes long shots and flops
Flops started in the NBA so that's where soccer players got it from
Football
@@shawnryanjr7936 LOL nah
They should build a football team
Bad Adebayo
Jimmy Butler
Luka Doncic
Nikola Jokic
Dirk Nowitzki
Blake Griffin
Joel Embiid
A Team has got eleven players
Nash>>
@@ab-jl5bz they could play the 7 players game, add Nash to their coach
they could make USA qualified to world cup
Nowitzki is not that good
Nash is no shocker. My dude played soccer growing up
His dad was pro
so does luka, he played in real madrid basketball but he plays soccer too
All these guys At least the foreigners played football before basketball … Markanen , Doncic, Jokic, Embiid , Siakam , Fournier etc
Jokic is so talented!!!!
Lauri with the touch lol
3:05 yay Steve was UNDERRATED 😂
In another words, these guys just genius when it comes to hand/eye/foot coordination
I need to see 1v1 football match between luka and giannis, it will be interesting!!
Why you gotta do me like that with those Kobe vids😥💙
I mean it was in the thumbnail
Get over it it’s been a year
@@uncledarren9775 Huh?
Huh?. What?
Joel, Nash and Kobe got crazy skills.
Put this in place of the skills challenge 😂😭All Star needs a revamp 😂
Truly amazing to see MBA players trying a new sport.
I think nash is the best of all nba players that knows to play soccer. He plays football every off season
I’m impressed they can juggle with basketball shoes
Lauri Markkanen's brother played for Makassar I think? They played against us, a Filipino club, in the Asian equivalent of UEL. No wonder he's good at footie as well.
Lauri Markkanen's brother is a professional football player.
Dammmm good
Can't imagine Blake Griffin can play soccer.
even Doncic using foot is better than Ben Simmons free throw lol
There sooo cool
Some of these big guy have quick feet
Wonder how much health insurance premiums went up for any players who did a bicycle kick in this video. 😂
Football skills!!
Lauris brother is a Pro football player. He played for Real Madrid Castilla
🇫🇮🇫🇮🇫🇮 And in our national team
Yesir
Dirk breaking his ankle is killing me 🤣
This is just juggling skills. Football skills is a whole different thing.
Nash got dem skills, Dirk still the best tho.
Dirk flopping hard :)
Idk who the first guy is put around the world to a bucket was str8 🔥🔥🔥🔥
kinda late, but he's Lauri Markkanen
@@amicarmensandiego7313 sounds like a scandinavian name, they like football too so im not surprised.
Football footwork translates pretty well in basketball.

Yo markinen juggling is real tho
Dirk breaking his own ankles then the defender complaining he didnt foul dirk lol
Imagine dirk playing football than basketball
Joel EMBID lol imagine a 7ft DEFENDER 😂😂
he would get humiliated so bad
Bruh... Nash
Tf
I want Markkanen Luka and Jokic to form a b ball football hybrid sport. Nowitzky? No way.
not a single clip of Giannis... pffff his touch is insane!
RIP Kobe
This is a crazy amount of kickball violations.
Rip Kobe
Kobe with the head but tho
Nowitzki movement was wild 😂
Fr 😂
Ohh damn Jokic got soft touch
No wonder he's a great passer
Most of them are foreigners
This is proof that all hoopers started with football
0:14 Roberto Carlos🥶🥶🥶🥶
Still hurts to know Mamba passed away 😢
Kobe ❤Galatasaray
Joker got the skill
Hakeem be like
😲
If you can dribble & shot with both legs in football, dribble & shoot with both hands in basketball & good at chess - you're a complete human being.
Bro if u can play basketball so you can easily play basketball
Kobe grew up in Italy.
Imagine if kickball was allowed in basketball...sheesh
Cool but where’s the football?
I don't buy into the argument that the best American athletes would've been great at soccer too, but Kobe is one of the few American athletes that I think would've been All-Time great at soccer if it was more popular in the US.
Too tall to be world class. You need a low center of gravity.
What’s song please
❤️
You think football would be the perfect sport for Harden, he can flop as much as he wants 😂
Where’s Pascal Siakam?
James Harden 😄
European basketball player have a good skills football.
Nikola Jokic is the best
Dirk flopping😂for a pk
Some reason don’t like them kicking a basketball the disrespect
Lol some of these guys are just too big 😂
Should be defenders or goal keepers
destroying basketballs.

dirk lmao
A lot of Soccer players end up quitting to play Basketball because of the difficulty of Soccer
2:38 Who's that?
Luka. Played football during basketball. He stayed just on basketball when he got the height.
Dang! Amazing first touch! Who was that? 2:38
Dirk Nowisky is as good as Neymar
dirk 😂
Bruh most of them are better than me n i am a soccer player bruh
Soccer players suck at playing other sports but basketball players can play all sports
0:37 player stood up and smiled. Some professional football players would roll around and 😣
hahaha football player would not fall like that
Kobe was all fun and games but when playing against boston with the score down 13 and nash showing off his skills, kobe's having none of that.
2:37 shit
Football player cant play basketball.
Basketball player can play football easily. You need more skill basketball than football
