Which sport is better basketball or soccer?

Question

I heard soccer is the most famous sport in the world. But when I watch team USA basketball and the NBA I never get tired of it. I really enjoy watching basketball and football. If you think about it China has over 1.3 billion people and basketball is their favorite sport and Yao Ming is the biggest celebrity in China. not insulting it but I just dont see how soccer is the best sport to me it is actually the most boring sport I would rather watch basketball or football anyday. Actually I watch everthing in the Olympics besides soccer. I guess baseball is ok but it does get boring.

Answer 1

basketball, but if you would have asked that question in a foreign nation

then you would have got a better response from soccer

Answer 2

Duh basketball!

Answer 3

Personally I love watching basketball and nba games. Soccer is more popular in foreign countries and hasn't really gotten that popular here. So it depends where you ask about. Like in Europe, obviously soccer is really popular, everyone plays it there. And its kind of like the same thing in the U.S. with basketball.

Answer 17

I like both basketball and soccer. Both are very different sports but are very entertaining. Soccer is the most popular sport in the world like you said and basketball is definitely the 2nd most popular sport in the world.

Answer 18

basketball is way more exciting and way more difficult to play. individual skills like dribble shoot pass etc. plus team play then strategies etc. soccer is most popular but its on the decline. america took to the sport what ten years ago and is now challenging the best soccer teams. in soccer teams could end in a 0-0 draw and resort to shootout. so theoretically ( and had been done ) one team could focus to just cover the goal and the best player on other side and just try win it in the penalty shootout. penalty shootout is like freethrow. how could that be an exciting game? it would in fact be a pointless game. but soccer is most popular. why i dont know.
