4. Remind You Of something?
Today's NBA players are a combination of power and finesse, is there another sport where these are prominent qualities? Of course there is - football (the real one with feet and balls). Both sports are played end to end but, with a delicate patience. In football a team works its way up the pitch, waiting, stalking, until that one mistake that leads to a advantageous opportunity. In basketball ball-handler's (point-guards, combo-guard, and point-forwards) dictate the pace into set offenses using cuts or dribbles to make their way to the basket. Both games, when played at their highest level, take an unbelievable amount of intelligence.
