that guy is a weirdo
always bringing up the sexuality of bron fans
must be gay himself

The number of different defenses and plays really aren't the same amount.

A typical playbook in the NBA has over 100 plays in it g.

Lefty Durant was smooth as hell

Whole video was pretty cool

I like Lefty LeBron

Right Handed Harden looks weird. Follow through looks off

For anyone who thinks basketball is simple I would advise you to every so often watch a game and watch everyone besides the guy with the ball. Ball watching causes you to miss a lot of what's going on.

Even stuff that seems simple like PnR has a ton of nuances within it that are missed.

Lot's of X's and O's

James Harden is fat

A typical NFL playbook can have 150+ plays just offense alone. This ain't a pissing contest. 

 

[noblekane]

lol why u do ty like that

TBH I think football is more complex. Reading defenses and play memorization would have me confused AF.

Bron/Harden/Paul don't go through reads every time down the court? There's no play memorization?

The number of different defenses and plays really aren't the same amount. Never did I say basketball wasn't complex, just football in my opinion is more.

Teams don't employ a plethora of different strategies defending the pick & roll? Defending perimeter isos? Defending post ups? Defending pin-downs and curls?

And I'm not even arguing that football is less complex. If you don't think basketball is simple then we're on the same page.

FF to 2:05.

sheeesh
how long have you been doing that?

5 years. Me and him been working together for 3.

@kdslittlebro

Yeah he showed flashes last season and he had some rough games I'll chalk up to being a freshmen. But youngin is legit in the gym everyday on his own so he's going to be fine. If they give him space and freedom, I think he can be special. But obviously I'm biased.

 

[Maximus Meridius]

That's not what i said. Dude thinks these people spend hours and hours studying film and ****. THAT ain't happening.

Football is 22 men on the field. There's so many different systems and schemes in football. There's always different gadget plays, trick plays, wildcat like ****. Football is way more complex than basketball.


 

Wait, so how do you think they're breaking down film if they aren't studying and spending hours watching film?

And do you think that there aren't different trick plays, and gadget plays, etc. in basketball ?

You don't need to spend hours to do that **** with basketball.


Yeah there are trick plays in basketball, it ain't the same as football. Ain't no wildcat like offense in basketball. Ain't no coming up with the scheme to stop the running QB in basketball. Ain't no Single-wing formation, Wishbone formation, Pistol offense, Shotgun formation, under center formation, Nickel defense, 4–3 defense, nickel defense in basketball.

Yup something like the triangle and its variations have much more than that, even tho Tex would hate it if you called them "plays"

Before anybody gets offended I love basketball a bit more than football but that's just what it is.

There aren't several different offenses in basketball? Every team plays the exact same way?

Teams play defense the same way too?

Both sports can be complex.

No it ain't the same as football. We can disagree.

true. I wanted to help my sister out cause she just started playing basketball but I honestly don't know where to start. Lot of things I did was just off pure instinct.

 

[pums]

Football maybe more complex in terms of the amount of information that has to be committed to memory...but basketball at a high level certainly isn't "simple". There are alot of dudes who can hoop their ***** off but couldn't stick in the league because of basic lack of comprehension on how to actually play the game...which involves alot of detailed strategy. 

They aren't just running up and down out there.

This is so true my dad coaches/used to coach pro and college ball overseas you'd be amazed at the stupidity of some of the players like they can understand more than 3 plays they can't understand pick and roll coverages the teams rules on when and where to double from or switch

WTF? Yes there is

You're just not watching basketball critically enough, which is cool. People don't come up with schemes to stop Chris Paul or Steph Curry (The QB) in basketball?

Icing PnR's, Zone defense, loading strong side defense, box and 1, 3/4 front of the post, Blitizing PnR, etc. I mean this is just silly as hel.

If you don't watch basketball critically like that then yeah your opinion would make sense but it doesn't at all.

 

[antidope]

It's not like basketball plays are just PnR all day long.

What about Bball Breakdown? Is Coach Nick not spending hours watching film? That whole channel is about nothing but analyzing film.

I got a youngin at OK state I've been working with for a few years. They had the cuffs on him this year but they let him get loose one game in middle PNR. He did everything we'd been working on.

I was smiling like a proud dad watching his only son that made it

Sometimes I don't think we can disagree

I'm not arguing that Football isn't complex, or more complex.

My man flat out said basketball was simple, and that's just flat out wrong.

If you're watching it and it appears like that, then just say that. But there's 100's of offensive and defensive sets that are implored in basketball.

Man I say go for it. That's how I started. First kid that gave me a chance I was making stuff up. I worked with a pro and had a terrible workout. I made adjustments and been cooking up great workouts ever since.

Like I said we can disagree. I don't care. I been watching basketball since I was 5, **** is simple to me. Especially compared to football.

 

[pums]

The concept of basketball is simple but there's levels to this I wouldn't say calling basketball simple is flat out wrong if you were to pick up a guy from the mountains with no prior experience of knowledge of any sport soccer basketball then football and baseball would probably be the order of easiest to grasp right away
