You think everyone would know who would win but the only thing that bugs me about basketball is when the idiot players foul the other team to send them to the line when you are down by like 8 possesions or something with short time.

I don't get that either Aaron? Anyone care to explain?

...i dunno.. david robinson, moses malone, shaq, thems some pretty big dudes...if larry bird had been a wrestler, he would have been like a cael sanderson...

....i like basketball, its fun to play in a couple of pick-up games, its great exercise, and its fun. its a challenge to chuck the ball from the cheap seats for a trey....barnyard rules usually apply, no blood no foul...

..love college basketball, love to see KU win the national title this year, i belive that KU had the #1 or #2 top recruiting class this year...pro-basketball however i dont follow..

...sometimes for fun we use to play a game of full court basketball as alternative conditioning, usually during christmas break when the gym was empty.

i dont hate basketball, i played in jr high, i think everyone should, to get an appreication for the sport. not many basketball players have wrestled but i know most wrestlers have played basketball. with that said, it is my opinion that the wrestler is the more rounded athlete. as a rule true athletes like all sports...simply because theyre competitors.

I know what you mean Aaron, while our team was busy winning two State championships, our basketball team won a grand total of 6 games in the last 3 years of high school I was there, and yet there will still more fans at the b-ball games than at the duals (although we did manage to sell the place out my junior year against champman, remember that Aaron? I don't think ole Calovich was happy). I really dislike basketball but I was at EVERY home game we had, and most of my teammates were too becuase we believed in supporting thier team even though they didn't do the same for us. Oh well in the end we came home with what rally matters and they didn't

Last year was my first year to be involved in wrestling, basketball is alright but i think that i would rather watch some tough guys wrestle then watch tall guys run and shoot a ball around. Last year i went every where for wrestling and i enjoyed watching many young men wrestle their hearts out, some came out on top and others didnt but in the end a wrestlers love and passion for their sport shows. I love the sport my self and i am someone who didnt grow up with wrestling. just to make a point that you dont have to grow up with wrestling to love and understand the sport.

At the first KU basketball game yesterday I tried to convince everyone that it'd be much cooler if we were all there to watch a wrestling match.

Sadly, no one agreed with me.

You would think that the dudes at KU would love to watch two guys wrestle.

Dingbat i would be careful what you say about those KU guys...they did beat you Mildcats. LOL. MOM 160 made a great point about responsibility and excuses. Wrestling is more like a gladiator sport. Basketball is a glory sport. You must be athletic to do both. they just require different skills. Now me personally...if I had to pick between a sport that calls a foul on you for agggressive or the sport that actuially has a period called "BLOOD TIME" I think I'll have the second. Besides, if a wrestler and a basketball player met in a back alley who wins? (Unless its SHAQ)

I would put Baumgartner, McCoy, Cormier, Sanderson and a host of others on SHAQ in a heartbeat. How about Angle, Couture, Neal, Mocco, etc.
There are plenty that would take that big jugheaded SHAQ out in short order.

I think Shaq knows kung fu. I don't have that confirmed yet but I am pretty sure.

And he's magical. Anyone seen Kazaam?

Boach, it's pronounced "Shaq-Fu." Don't you remember the Sega game?

Thanks guys ..... really needed a laugh today ........... and you came through for me! Basketball ....... now that's a good one!!!!
Booowaaaahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! Oh, man ..... I'm dyin' here! Stop!

man that was a sweet game...just like all his movies :rolleyes:

Being a former Basketball player turned wrestler in high school and watching my little bro play in highschool and in college I think that the biggest difference is that wrestling makes little boys into men and gives them a sense of confidence that basketball cannot give a growning, insecure, young man...in only 2 weeks of wrestling I have seen boys who have no self-confidence become sure of themselves..but perhaps the best aspect of "our sport" as opposed to "their sport" is that it teaches working hard for a goal has rewards beyond natural ability..many guys I wrestled with in college could not walk and chew gum but on a wrestling mat they had all the ability they needed....a big heart and alot of guts...wrestling rules and "pumpkin pounding" will always be more special to the general public but itsn't that what makes it so special..only a few of us dare to do it and that makes us brothers..we have all sweat, bled, and cried on the mat, something you never see in basketball..but you can make millions of dollars playing round ball which is nothing compared to a gold medal in wrestling..case closed...

"pumpkin pounding"? ...but hey, whatever floats your boat. (maybe we do need manditory background checks...)

Amen! You have put it so eloquently...

Now nobody can disagree with that nice job Coach Brown
