Why Cant i play soocer and basketball and still be good in both sides?

I am an Soccer player Now Before i was an basketball player , and now people are telling me that i cant play both sports , i have to choose soccer or basketball.Why Cant i play soocer and basketball and still be good in both sides?
no one is stopping you to play both sports. but in order to excel in one, you have to forgo the other. otherwise, you could end up a jack of all trades, master on none.
Pick a sport you good at, the focus. Just keep practicing and playing.Why Cant i play soocer and basketball and still be good in both sides?
man if you good in both you can play both soccor in fall n basketball in winter so split it up or play both i ran cross country and played football
As long as there is no overlap, do them both. If there is an overlap, commit to one or the other.Why Cant i play soocer and basketball and still be good in both sides?
To be good at a sport, you will have to spend a lot of time on it. It's always practice makes perfect.

Now if you're sure you won't get too tired practicing at both sports, then go ahead.
Don't listen to others. What the hell they know? when i was in high school, I did three sports and did them well. Got hurt and was told I would never play again. I never listen and I was still able to play.
There is a distinct reason for this. The muscles in your body have been trained to be able to stride out. The way your muscles developed with soccer it is more tuned for running. Its more of an ability to go forward and not up. With basketball you are with more of an enthesis on up and not forward as much. Granted you will sprint but the muscle memory will prevent the ability from doing both very well. If it was another sport like football or cross country that was a bit more complementary it would be much better and easier for you to do. But due to the fact that you need power muscles over lean endurance muscles for this one. If you want a better explanation on this one talk to your coach for basketball to explain the muscle development.
listen,

keep playing both the games and concentrate more on the one you are good at!

if u dont know which one u r gud at then keep playing until someone encourages or discourages u...

if someone encourages u in soccer then keep going on it and u could also practice basketball...

if u c have been encouraged in both then its all up to u which one u should pick!!

LUCK PICK!! haha

MY FAV IS SOCCER...

actually when i started playing soccer,

i kept concentrating and practicing on it,

then in my school they did not have a soccer playing extra activity but they had basketball and many other like science club and stuff!

but then most of my friends took basketball as it was the only one best out of the others!

so we went for it and then slowly my concentration went on b'ball and concentration went from football...

then we started to bunk in those b'ball extra activity and started to stay in the class and play football with a tennis ball in the class!

we all kept an excuse with us as we just loved footballso we just wanted to play that!

so every activity period all of us went to the other class (8b)....(im in 8a) and then after every one went for their activities, we started playing football there and I GAINED MY CONCENTRATION ON FOOTBALL ONCE AGAIN AND NOW IM TOO GOOD AT IT!!!!!!!!!!

When did pro basketball start what year and was there any superstars?

when did pro basketball start and was there any superstars before goerge mikan?When did pro basketball start what year and was there any superstars?
Pro basketball started in 1898, however, there were no superstar players until the 1920's. I'll name a few:



Joe Lapchick

Dutch Denhert

Nat Holman

John Beckman

Charles "Tarzan" Cooper



These weren't the first official superstars but they were the superstars of that time.
haha...basketball was definitely not invented in 1946.



In early December 1891, Dr. James Naismith,[1] a Canadian physical education student and instructor at YMCA Training School[2] (today, Springfield College) in Springfield, Massachusetts, USA, sought a vigorous indoor game to keep his students occupied and at proper levels of fitness during the long New England winters to keep the students in shape.



The first official game was played in the YMCA gymnasium on January 20, 1892 with nine players and the game ended at 1-0 and the shot was made from 25 feet



Women's basketball began in 1892.



The first pro league, the National Basketball League, was formed in 1898 to protect players from exploitation and to promote a less rough gameWhen did pro basketball start what year and was there any superstars?
basketball was invented in 1946, the ABA was founded by Murice Loofer in 1957. The ABA later combined with NBA to form the league today in late 60's.



Not really sure about superstars, doubt they even have that word back then, but you can probably search who is the 1st player named to the 50 greatest player.
Right after WW2, the pro league started. Mikan was the first pro superstar coz' before him the league was not as recognized yet as baseball. He was the white 7 feet behemoth, unstoppable until the very first black superstar, Russell, came %26amp; dominated basketball for a decade. If ya can buy a cd NBA at 50, it will prove what I mean. You'd enjoy it to thae max

Good times broWhen did pro basketball start what year and was there any superstars?
The NBL (National basketball league) started in 1937, and continued until the NBA began in 1947. There were also leagues in Pennsylvania in 1910s and 20s, but as far as superstars, there's no names I can recognize as well as Mikan's.
the NBA started in 1946. the first superstar was george mikan of the minneapolis lakers. he dominated the 1950s.
George Mikan, first great Center, he played for the Lakers from the inception of the NBA in 1946 to the mid 50's i believe

How to shoot basketball over taller defenders?

Hi. I need help on how to shoot a basketball over taller people. Everytime i try, i always get blocked. How can i prevent this from happening and are their any good exercises to do?How to shoot basketball over taller defenders?
There's a number of things you can do.

First, use what you have. If you are thick, you can draw contact and create space to shoot.

Two, work your opponent. Try him outside. If he gets tight on your outside shot, take him inside. Use your teammates by passing to get him off balance.

Three, and I see this WAY too much, do not drive into the defense when you are already open to shoot. Make defenders work. Don't make it easy by driving into their faces and then shooting. Make them guard you.

Four, I don't know where this went, but smaller guys used to use a driving hook. This brings the ball back from the defender and allows you to shoot in motion. Try it --- if you can get accurate with it, it's a good tool to keep in the box. Magic Johnson used it.
Being a quality shooter and having to face taller opponents, you have to make sure you first create some space between you and the defender and you gotta make sure you have a high arching release similar to Ben Gordon's shot. Your arms should be str8 up as you release the ball as to be on an angle going forward. That should help you shoot over taller defenders. The best way to make this your natural form is by shooting over 100-200 jumpshots using the high arching form a day and before you know it, it'll be instinctive as to you having to think about it.How to shoot basketball over taller defenders?
I am short and I get my shot off over taller people all the time. I use the underhand scoop and keep the ball low or the teardrop (floater). The floater works well in the lane. Watch Iverson. He is short and uses the scoop and teardrop a lot.
I'd go with a head fake/ pump fake. Also, if you show your defender that you have no fear and will drive to the hoop, he may respect that more and play off of you in fear of you dribbling by him. Once that happens, you'll get better looks at open shots. Keep moving and working to get open shots too.How to shoot basketball over taller defenders?
break their ankles and then dunk on their face
My best answer is to fake them out, and use quickness. You have an advantage if you are a lot shorter. You're lower to the ground, and you can get under him, and around, the smaller you are the more you can get around a bigger guy...for the most part. Just fake shoot, go under his arms, and use what space you have. Hope that helps.
Either go with a pump fake or blow their slow and doofy a** away with a crossover.



You could go with a "Freezer" which is when you jump as high as you can and hold the ball in your shooting form for like a second and then release the ball. It will most likely throw the tall kid off guard
when u shoot, like pump fake it. so they will jump ahead before u jump. then make ur shot. but if u didnt bounce the ball then when u pump fake and when they jump go around them and make a shot. thats all man.
You've gotta get them to leave their feet with a head fake or a shot fake. Then when they are off of their feet you can:



1. Shoot over them with your regular shot, or

2. Move around them by keeping your pivot foot planted, and taking a step with your other foot. Then shoot with a little finger-roll/scoop shot or just use your regular shot.



Are you asking how to shoot over people from a stand-still position or from a triple-threat position? This is important, as your options are very different depending on whether or not you have picked up your dribble, or if you have just received the ball from a pass and still have the option to dribble. Do you see the difference?



As a rule, don't pick up your dribble if you are not ready to pass or shoot. If you are dribbling and there is a tall player in front of you ready to block your shot, then for goodness' sake don't stop dribbling!!! Just because you're shorter doesn't mean that you will be quicker than a taller player. I'm 6'2", but I am definitely as quick as my friend that's only 5'8". Regardless of speed, or perhaps inclusive of speed, basketball is first and foremost a game about creating space. You have to somehow get enough space when you shoot so that you won't be blocked. A tall guy already has this space because he is taller to begin with. So you have to develop something to gain this advantage back and create space for yourself. You can do it with quickness, with shot/head fakes, with a spin move, etc., etc. You just need to figure out your greatest strength and keep going back to that. Maybe you have superb endurance and can run guys all over the court, so that they get sick of chasing you and end up letting you get away from them too often. Whatever your advantage is, figure it out and use it to get good shots.
Watch Ben Gordon play. =)
try the teardrop. mark jackson former player of the pacers, knicks, denver(?), etc. lol.. always uses it..it was funny but effective.. he usually penetrates in the middle the suddenly stop to shoot a one handed quick lob shot.. i also take those kind of shots when i play... and thankfully i not always at the wrong side of a blocked shot.. lol

What type of basketball shoes are best for me?

My style of playing is mostly on my speed and my opponents speed. To score I use quick lay ups or hook shots. Mostly I like a basketball shoe thats light, but that is my opinion. I frequently use crossovers and fake spins to get aroundWhat type of basketball shoes are best for me?
Go to www.eastbay.com, and search basketball shoes. Don't get the first ones that pop up (T-mac 6s, KG's, Kobe's), those shoes are usually the worst because they are really heavy. When buying your shoe, eastbay gives you the shoe's weight, and the try to buy a shoe that is under 15.5-16 ounces. 14 oz. is considered light and great. Also, make sure the grip of the shoe is good and that it is a high top (less likely to sprain ankle), where is covers your ankle.
Nike or JordansWhat type of basketball shoes are best for me?
Nike Hurache best basketball shoes ever.
Best thing to do is top try some on. I usually like to play in most Nikes but for comfort prefer adidas.What type of basketball shoes are best for me?
nikes and jordans are the best
nikes jordans or and 1s
Well judging as how your game is similar to mine, I use nike huaraches. I think Tony Parkers uses those sometimes.
