Is basketball easier then soccer ?

Answer 1

Nothing is easier then soccer, that is why it's the number one sport for 4-12 years old

Answer 2

Both games consist of back and forth runing. Both games chase after a ball and the person with it. The only difference is the ball used in soccer is lighter than the basketball. I'd like to see Pelee bounce a basketball off his head as if it were a soccer ball. That's gonna be a doctors call then. I'd say soccer, I'm no basketball fan.

Answer 3

yes basketball is easier than soccer because soccer you have to know a lot techniques and it takes forever to score a goal basketball you see a lot points coming in. soccer u play like an hour and basketball it depends if they go to over time

Answer 4

Well it's not easier but it's a whole lot more fun. In soccer you just have to kick a ball towards a goal. Soccer is a more two dimensional game, while basketball is more 3D, if ya know what I mean.

Answer 5

Not a chance, although it may seem easier because of the players ability to score many points in one game, that is simply a rules, and entertainment perk. Here's a comparison- make a basketball court 4 times as large- let the players kick and crash into each other without recourse (the card system is stupid), and then have a Shaq at each goal allowed to goal tend with impunity- Score= Mavs 1 Heat 0. I doubt any player from the US team could soar from the free-throw line- but I'm thinking I could teach D-Wade to be a darn good goalie.

Answer 6

Without a doubt Soccer is more difficult then Basketball. On average a soccer player can run up to 37 miles a game (90 min)
and in basketball you are lucky to run between 8-13miles in a game.

Answer 7

Well basketball is better than soccer in almost everyway.
