Football or Basketball

Back in the day, tall people were considered too uncoordinated to play basketball. Then George Mikan happened.

I don't know him. In all of basketball the only player names I know are Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant and Shaquille O'Neal. I just saw their names from headlines.

Oh yeah, that is so annoying in football. Players should get a yellow card for whining or complaining. Even just ONE word of complaint should be a yellow card.

George Mikan is one example of the good, but there are countless others who represent the bad. I can name 3 people who are tall-ish, and bad at basketball all the same. Me, myself, and I.
Basketball. Without a doubt. There are I guess two versions of Basketball. Streetball, and regular basketball (the one played in the NBA). Streetball is amazing to watch. I mean, those handles. Cool streetballers such as The Professor are truly amazing and can inspire people. Real basketball (the one played in the NBA) is also cool. There are many cool players like Steve Nash, Steph Curry, Lebron James, Kobe Bryant, and Michael Jordan. All of these players have changed the NBA somehow.
