Today on Esports we are on blog post #4, this blog post we will be detailing about two things that the same or similar but are considered different. Todays blogs post will be based on sports the difference and similarities of Basketball and Soccer. This post will compare and/or contrast two things related to my blog. These sports are considered to be two prominent ideas, two opposing viewpoints, or two actual objects or products. Both have a wide fan support and are played at amateur, school, college and professional levels. These are some of the richest sports leagues and contains some the most notable, historic and wealthiest professional athletes in the world.
Dribbling
Both sports require dribbling in order to move the ball, but yet the the dribbling is different soccer uses during with their feet and never their hands except for the Goalie who is the only person that can a tally be allowed to touch the ball. As for basketball, players are only allowed to dribble with their hands by bouncing the ball and if their feet hit the ball then thats considered a kick ball. They also both sports that can be held either indoor or outdoor, is a conditioning sport that require you to be able run for a good amount of time and like other sports these sports require you to score.
OBJECTS: BALL TYPES
Differences exist between soccer and basketball, including ball types, field dimensions and scoring. According to Lou Martin List of Differences between Soccer and Basketball published on November 18, 2018 https://www.sportsrec.com/8234790/list-of-the-differences-between-soccer-basketball he explained while soccer typically uses a synthetic ball with black and white pentagonal sections, basketball relies on an orange leather or composite ball encircled with thin symmetrical lines.
POSTIONS AND PLAYERS
After reading Ellis article on the 10 major differences in the Discussion of Soccer and Basketball https://www.exploremenow.com/basketball-vs-soccer/. Another difference is the number of players. A basketball team has 5 players. A soccer team, on the other hand, has eleven. This would only explain that natural that a soccer field is larger than a basketball court.Basketball has three kinds: guards, forwards, and centers. Soccer has four: a goalkeeper, defenders, midfielders, and forwards. The biggest difference is the specialization of players according to their position. Soccer players usually specialize in offense or defense, not both. As for as basketball players which require players to have offense and defensive skills in order to to play. Goalies would be similar to Center because the protect the rim, like the Goalie protects the goal both positions require extraordinary defense.
UNIFORM
Soccer uniforms consist of shorts and a polo-type jersey, while basketball uniforms consist of shorts and a tank-top jersey. Soccer players typically wear cleats, while basketball players wear sneakers. Soccer players are required to wear Shinguards as apart their uniform in order to play considering soccer has a lot of foot action and a direct blow to the shin could seriously damaged a player therefore players are required to wear shinguards for protection
GAMEPLAY
A soccer exhibition as a match, while a basketball contest is referred to as a game. A soccer match consists of two 45-minute halves, while a basketball game is made up of two 20-minute halves at the collegiate level, four eight-minute quarters at the high school level and four 12-minute quarters at the professional level. In basketball, one of the most sought-after opportunities is a fast break, which involves the offensive team pushing the ball upcourt in an attempt to score by getting ahead of the defense. In soccer, this type of offensive attack is forbidden because two defensive players must be between an offensive player, also known as an attacking player, and the goal.
