Why Basketball is Better than Soccer
Both basketball and soccer are very good sports, however I think that basketball is better. In this, I will explain why basketball is better than soccer.
Game Requirements
Basketball and Soccer both were invented. But when? Basketball was invented in 1891. But soccer was invented in 4500 BC. It wasn’t exactly “soccer”, but somewhere along the lines of that.

NBA players on average get payed $1,790,902 per year however soccer players on average only get payed $50,000 per year. Now that is a huge difference.

Both sports have star players and good players. But which sport has more, and which ones are more famous. Well basketballs most famous player is Michael Jordan. Basketball has lots of other good players. Stephen Curry, LeBron James, Kyrie Irving, Kevin Durant, Kobe Bryant, Shaquille O’Neal, Paul George, Russel Westbrook, Yao Ming and lots of other players.

So pretty much the NBA has, had and will have much better players than Soccer does or
