That’s really not true

remember tho dude said intelligence required to excel, not how complex the sport is overall

I just feel like basketball is a more cerebral sport at the elite level in terms of each individual player

That’s #based

Football (soccer) is more challenging intellectually than basketball or gridiron tbh.

Football is easily the most complex sport it's really not close but every sport requires supreme intelligence to excel at

Shoutout yuuurp

i know multiple nfl & nba guys who are legitimately stupid. incredibly gifted and talented. but not smart at all.

Hassan whiteside has had a very long career i still dissagree

A lot of pro athletes are savants lol

You don't have to be book smart just smart at playing whatever your sport is

Remembering run block schemes as an offensive linemen are for sure much more complex than whatever hassan whiteside does on the court

Think basketball more 50:50 cerebral and talent/skill imo

CB hardest position in sports

Are memorizing schemes difficult

one of my favorite nba player stories ever

sports all about reading and reacting in real time tbh

its intuitive not intellectual

Mainstream media never shows cb highlights always them getting cooked lmfao

any aspects of the game that you're actually contemplating and reasoning are secondary

Feel like we associate complexity with the nfl because playbooks are talked about more often

I feel NBA require more skill to play than NFL tbh

I have never watched nfl beyond highlights tho

Ehhh

feel like that's definitely true

I mean isn’t there an defense team and an offense team in NFL?
