How quickly can Anthony Davis get to the ground?


People keep using this and acting like 6-10 people only live in the United States

If a 6-10 keeper would be so amazing, how come other countries haven’t tried it?

I agree but the reason you don’t see it as much is because it’s tougher to get a work visa over there as someone has pointed out

But i assume it would be getting easier

Why would American kids aspire to play professionally in another country when they can make MILLIONS playing other sports in America? You just proved my point for me!

In soccer?
Tons

I’m not talking about 40 yard dash times I’m talking about soccer speed

Just because they run fast 40s doesn’t mean they would be fast on the pitch


ETA: in Lebrons prime they said he ran around 18-19 MPH
Gareth Bale in his prime 23-24

Because making millions in Munich beats the hell out of making millions in Cleveland or Memphis?

Well for one you would be more well known globally which could lead to more endorsements. Also if I was in my late teens or early 20s i would do it if I had the chance.

But why wouldn’t they try out soccer if they’d be so dominant as a keeper where they’d make just as much playing for a club like PSG or Barceona?
