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.Basket ball players size, cardio and athleticism probably let them win it out
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?Good points.

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.not a sports player, but aren't rugby and football linebackers expected to sprint with the ball to their side?

I can get basketball players having better maneuverability but burst speed should be about equal right?
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.They absolutely have had to do some jukes and weaves for various famous 80+y touchdowns
it's not common but it is something they do
Maybe I should do an Eyeshield 21 vs Kuroko no Basket thread after this. I remember both series getting some pretty ridiculous techniques
Shin and Agon in Kuroko would be like putting toddlers against General Zodd lmaonah, 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
