Best Example Of Your Favourite Sport

Basketball has the best athletes.




Drive and determination




One man wrecking crew




Showman


Then why were they all at the Olympic swimming pool acting like fanbois over the Greatest player of all times?

Game recognize game if you are talking about someone being the best at his sport. I dont think he is a player. He just swims. Not much going on there mentally in comparison with some other sports. Thats like saying a marathoner is a player.

I swam competitively, there's more going on than you can see.

sure in a short race, it's like sprinting, just be faster. But sprint swimmers also have to do the mile, the hurdles, run backwards.

don't get me wrong, it takes a lot to make it to the nba, but they came to watch swimming, not the other way around.

I'm sure there is more to it than meets the eye. I played basketball overseas and I have swam recreationally. Its just not something i would call a person a player unless it was like water polo.. When you are confident and self assured in your own sport you can watch other people and cheer them on. I dont think they were saying what Phelps was doing was harder than what they were doing.
 
Ice Hockey has the best athletes.. basketball, eh .. overpaid and wimpy in comparison..



Ice hockey? :laugh:

Two guys just sit on their ass all game and the rest of them are riding on skates.


:eusa_doh:.. :eusa_doh:.. sports and politics, neither are your forte...:eusa_snooty:

hockey sucks

take away the sticks and it's ballet on ice

Not even that. Only the greats of hockey make it look like ballet.
 
Soccer. Easily the best sport in the world.

The example I like to give is the sportsmanship involved. Lets say that the Blue Team has the ball and makes a pass. The red team player and blue team player both go for the passed ball and the player on the red team injures herself trying to intercept the ball with a slide or catches a cleat to the body as she goes for it. The blue team player see the red team player on the ground in agony. When that happens, 99% of the time she will immediately kick the ball out of bounds to allow physio to come onto the pitch and work on their injured player. Often both team's physio staffs respond.

Once play resumes, teh red team has ball. 100% of the time, the red team kicks the ball to a blue team player so they can continue on offense.

No other sport has that code.
never saw that happen, not once.

but I did see a woman kick another in the head and get mad that she got called for a foul.

and the head to the chest cheep shot, friggin epic

Do not know what sport you've been watching. Happens all the time.

My wife made me appreciate soccer. She was offered a scholarship to play in college. She put me on my ass trying to take the ball from her.

Everyone has their favourite sport and everyone has sports they just can't understand the appeal of.
Post the very best example of your favourite sport to try to convince the rest of us how good it can be.

A full five day cricket test might be a bit difficult to post but...if that's your thing...

I'll kick off with a rugby test (no surprise there) from 2000 between Australia and New Zealand which is generally acknowledged as one of the best tests ever played.


I've enjoyed some games of that, but it's hard to see whats going on, so it's hard to get into the subtle things.

like the line up with all the pushing.

Aussie football is pretty cool

Yeah. Rugby doesnt really interest me because i dont understand whats going on. It looks like some weird football game where they all tell secrets.

Fair enough, I understand and it's true for any game that unless you were brought up on it it can be difficult to understand or get interested.

The object of the thread though is to showcase your sport by posting the very best example of it for the rest of us to try to appreciate.
Not highlights or 'best of' packages...I want to see an actual game and try to get a sense of how it's played and what's so great about it.

I've watched lots of soccer and have not seen that happen.

My favorite sport is ISPC, which tests speed and accuracy with a sidearm.

Check out how smooth JJ Racaza is. The magazine change is almost imperceptible.
