Non-Combat Sports Players in a fight. Who comes out on top?
- Thread starter xenos5
- Start date
Basket ball players size, cardio and athleticism probably let them win it out
basketball players win
if they get Ron Artest

Good points. Football and Rugby players are used to throwing their weight around with tackles, but that's a lot harder to land with Basketball Players who got better burst speed and maneuverability.
Would you also care to comment on the bonus?
not a sports player, but aren't rugby and football linebackers expected to sprint with the ball to their side? Especially with the heavy equipment they wear?
I can get basketball players having better maneuverability but burst speed should be about equal right?
Well. The way I see it, Football is closer to marathon running. You have a wider field to run down and you’re more often than not running in a straight line rather than attempting to juke other players and weave around them mid-run.
Whereas with Basketball it’s less about maintaining consistent speed for a super long run. But accelerating to your top speed as fast as possible and being able to control it at just the right moments to also decelerate quickly and use that to juke your opponents.
And there’s also the jumping aspect where on defense you have to match the movement of someone else and either block a shot after it’s already been shot or not even let the ball leave the shooters hand. Which can become exponentially harder when the offense mixes feints in to try to get you to jump early.
With football passes you don’t have to react as quickly since they’re staying in the air for much longer.
Fair, that’s why I said more often than not. But in regards to burst speed you’re definitely stopping and starting at short distances much more often in Basketball. So I think that skill gets developed a lot more.
Football and Rugby for me.
They tackle niggas as a sport. They aren’t slouches in height either.
This is real life so if someone gets their head slammed in the pavement then they’re meeting their makers

you joking lads? football/rugby players can weight from 80kg up to 100+kg, and not only that, the way they can tackle, chase or kick you, is not a joke, their stamina, dura and power is something else, basketball players have height, some agility to certain degree and good length but they aint boxers or mma fighters, football/rugby players > basketball players >= actual football players = kicking the ball, they got good endurance and kicking power, but sadly still aint enough (cuz soccer isnt the proper term, dont say soccer)

Maybe I should do an Eyeshield 21 vs Kuroko no Basket thread after this. I remember both series getting some pretty ridiculous techniques
nah, dont do it, both series are low superhuman sports one, but chars like gaoh, agon, shin, donald and kurita just solo the verse, in a minute
they above wall+ levels and > fte speeds too
Only one of these is facing backlash for giving players lifelong injuries and it isnt Basketball or Soccer 
You also have to remember football players are also weighed down by their equipment and padding as opposed to soccer and basket ball players and they still manage to hit each other hard enough to break bones
Hell Jon Jones even talks about how ridiculously strong his brother Chandler is.

Shin and Agon in Kuroko would be like putting toddlers against General Zodd lmao
Yeah, I think alot of people is underestimating Football Players, especially with the fact that their "Protective Gear" is near 100 pounds and they have to move consistently with that for HOURS depending on how good the player and their stamina is, that's not getting into running 100 yards with that shit on.
They absolutely would demolish everyone else here on sheer strength, speed and stamina. Rugby is a close second and it's Soccer that's 3rd. Basketball Players tend to be the worst as they just have speed and that's it.

They're equipment weight them down yea but they also play for short burst and Football also runs the game clock down while not playing while nba is alot of up and down court where they sprint, cut, go side to side and jump while also controlling their body in mid air and then those same players instantly switch to defense to guard the other team
