They aren't very good at basketball.

Great athletes for sure.

People or person. Boom constantly says the Rockets are a championship contention team, but that is by no means the opinion of this board as a whole.

Then said people are functionally retarded. You can say at the very least that soccer players have to be pretty well conditioned in order to play competitive soccer with a decent level of hand/eye coordination.

Now does that translate to other sports? Not necessarily. But I wouldn't expect an offensive lineman to be able to go out and play a full match of soccer on a highly competitive level either. Doesn't really make him less of an athlete.

I would be pissed if I were Juventus ownership. About the sell Pogba for $150M and he's playing basketball (easy to get injured).

If you think those guys had even the slightest chance of even sniffing a dleague court you are mildly retarded and seriously underestimate just how talented the D-League is.

While Im sure these guys are great soccer players and very athletic in their own rights, their basketball skills are subpar. They qould fit right in at your local Rec Gym.

If even an average D-League player came into the local Rec Gym, he would absolutely dominate and it wouldnt even be close.
