Give KEVIN GARNETT 60 day to prepare....he would be best soccer GOALIE in the world

[KingKolzig]

no one agrees with u. these NBA guys would be ducking out of the way. u should add more smilies bro

[Arsenal]

Again, you prove to hundreds on this board that you are nothing but a clueless troll.

Very enjoyable

You are the one that is a troll by starting dumb ass threads just to attempt to irritate other posters with your ridiculous bullshit.

[KingKolzig]

fishhead, anyone who can throw a javelin/shotput can play in the NFL too right lol?

[Chi_archie]

the better thing would be to try to be a pitcher, from javelin....

like Jan Jelezny..... that didn't work out at all either

[Chi_archie]

[Fishhead]

I always thought Iverson would have made a hell of a soccer player. Assuming that he'd trained and played his whole life. Not signing up tomorrow like ShitHead suggests.

Talking about being a goalie, not a regular position player.

Iverson a helluva soccer player????....perhaps so.

Hell, there are millions upon millions of U.S. citizens in America that if they trained to be a soccer player would be highly succsessful...........however, the majority choose to participate in football, basketball, baseball, billards, poker, golf, hockey, track and field, raquetball, handball, or some other sport/activity.

The point is, 30+ current American NBA players could become a world class soccer goalie in 6 months...............

[RealSlimShady]

Different sports....different skill sets. It's like people saying the MMA guys would be able to beat boxers with some training. If so, there should be tons of MMA guys training to fight Pacquiao for the millions and yet none do so.....why? It's not easy!!!

[Fishhead]

fishhead, anyone who can throw a javelin/shotput can play in the NFL too right lol?

No, because becoming an elite NFL football player takes YEARS AND YEARS to develop into even if one were an elite athlete and wanted to try and attain.............unlike trying to become a soccer goalie.


Comparing a soccer goalie to an NFL player...................LOL!!!

[Fishhead]

RYNE SANDBERG plays 123 errorless games in a row at 2B in the MAJOR LEAUGES...............meanwhile, we have an ENGLAND goalie that cant stop a bouncing balloon hit directly at him...........LOL!!!




OMG, classic


Mathdotcom must be busting a gut over you people...........

Please allow me to repeat myself for those of you ACROSS THE POND

PRECISELY WHY AFRICANS, COSTA RICANS, SOUTH AMERICANS, ENGLANDERS, and SWEDES play soccer........................BASEBALL IS ONE TOUGH SPORT TO MASTER.

You get dumber by the post.

Any chance you've ever left the USA? I say not likely.

[RealSlimShady]

Golf is a great example as to how some sports require a special skillset. You see unathletic guys like Phil Mickelson and John Daly succeeding, while great athletes from other sports are just hacks at the game, no matter how hard they try.

Being a top goalie doesn't even come close to being able to become a world class golfer.................................G EEZUS, a few of you people are nuts.

[RealSlimShady]

Why dont you try it then, Fishhead? Give Chelsea or Machester United a call. Your dumpster diving skills would have given you ample pratice trying to field low shots on goal.

[big0mar]

I was a goalie and SF in HS. I would say the skillset isn't too much different. A guy like Shaq would be terrible, but I have no doubt guys like Garnett, Bosh, or Stoudamire could become great goalies.

[Fishhead]

"Mr. Jordan whats next, goaltender for Manchester United"

In his prime, if he practiced it for 6 months, MJ would have been a top 50 soccer goalie in the world............


GEEZUS, being a top golfer/baseball athlete is 10,000x times harder than becoming a top notch soccer goalie......................

[RealSlimShady]

They very possibly could...but not in 6 months!

FISHHEADS ALL-UNIVERSE GOALTENDERS (better than world class)

[KingKolzig]

he said WORLD CLASS. meaning, being payed $1,000,000 a yr by being a gk

[forsberg21]

Didn't we have this discussion put Jerry Jones in charge of 2014 USA soccer with unlimited non salary cap counting funds to recruit athletes USA cruises to final versus Brazil

You ignored my initial post in this thread Minet, so here it is again:

I thought that line was utterly ridiculous until I read your last statement. Do you really think that in 4 years, the US could beat nations who have been perfecting their most popular sport for decades, nations that have consistently cultivated the best soccer players in the world? You really think the US can match the performance of a Brazilian national team in a matter of 4 years? At this pace of development, maybe the US will win a World Cup in the next 100 years, maybe not. The gap in soccer between the US and the countries that have mastered the world's most popular game over decades and decades is going to take decades to overcome.

If you actually believe what you're saying, you are the most ignorant fool on these boards. Keep spewing this BS, you're only making yourself look like a fool with each subsequent post.

[jjgold]

Lots of NBA players would be excellent goalies and way better than any world cup goalies

Soccer goalies do not have much skill, anyone can play the position

[RealSlimShady]

someone super quick like iverson would have a better shot of getting from point A to B in net compared to someone like garnett. its about quickness and technique not size at all

If Iverson grew up playing soccer his whole life, he might be a great winger! Might be a better position for him than goalie!

AMERICANS HAVE TONS OF OTHER CHOICES...........BESIDES KICKING A COCONUT AROUND.


Unreal


Yes, his post was spot on correct!!

If the USA decided to dominate soccer, they could do so in 4 years..........and probably in less time..............hell, they would have the majority of the worlds top 20 soccer goalies in 6 months timel

Fishhead, I have respect for you and what you post on these forums, but this is seriously getting ridiculous.

If you think that the US could go from an "average" national team to a world champion in a matter of 4 years, well I don't really have to continue further, you can see how foolish that sounds already. If it ever does happen, it's going to take decades for the US to become a soccer powerhouse. To do this is impossible and to say it shows ignorance towards the nations that have cultivated and mastered this sport over decades and decades.

You could equate the athleticism of an NBA player's ability - mainly quickness and ability to lunge - as something that would be crucial to becoming a world class soccer goalie. But to say that an NBA player can develop the technique and acquire the experience that top goalies have accumulated through over a decade of play, I'm just going to say that is "inaccurate", out of respect to you. Don't think that every goalie is like England's Green.

[yisman]

Green is a pretty poor goaltender. Not world class at all.

Goalkeeper is a difficult position to play and obviously this thread is merely lunacy mixed with trolling, but I'm sure most of you knew that by now.

[Cookie Monster]

OK, we all believe you, Fishy. What is next?

Kobe could be the best pitcher ever?
Lebron breaking the marathon world record?
Shaq KO'ing Klitschko?

Imagine all the possibilities: NFL placekicker, 100 meters, volleyball, etc.

Putting the things in perspective...

Give Manute Bol 1 year training and he will dominate NBA.

[Chi_archie]

the crazy thing about all this is that NBA players could so quickly dominate another professional sporting position in Fishy's schtick........

but a 50 year old iowa cab driver can STILL OUTRUN AN ALL PRO NFL TIGHT END and beat him in 1 on 1 basketball!!!!!!!!!!!!

http://forum.sbrforum.com/players-talk/268373-here-dallas-clark-he-beating-fisheads-records.html

you guys have to remember he is just trying to drive up thread counts and views and making controversy..... don't get too upset, don't you see the way he needles and tries to antagonize you in the face of facts and rational thought??????

yes and i want to drop a cinder block on his head for it

[jjgold]

Tony Meola is a perfect example of a fukkin idiot being a professional soccer player

Every guy in the nba with no training would be better

[kato]

Very stupid thread.

If we're talking Celtics players, give me Rondo over Garnett in both basketball and soccer. Rondo, with his skillset, would seem to be an ideal goalie. He'd have to learn tactics and strategy, though.

Garnett? Hell no.
