‘He needs to start playing basketball….hes going to have the footwork from all this soccer he’s been playing….and he’s 6’8….GIVE HIM A BASKETBALL,’ a third passionately urged.
‘Dude was in the wrong sport,’ a fourth suggest as another echoed the claim, writing, ‘He is playing the wrong sport. Get him on a basketball court.
‘He has decent speed and is athletic. He’d do well playing basketball,’ read one user’s analysis, as another posted, ‘I am a Football Fan but I think that he would definitely fit better in Basketball with his height.’
