Buzzer beaters are just as good.

Oh, to make it 70 - 57? The tighter the margin, the more pressure. Look how many times football fans rue late goals, a bad decision, because 1 marginal minute can shape the match and who wins the cup for example. More underdogs can win in football than in a game with high margins such as Basketball or Rugby.

Didn't you see the buzzer beaters I posted? The "bad decisions" in football are overwhelmingly high. Some of the time, the ball is past the white line but the goalkeeper "saves" it back out and none of the referees actually see it. Basketball is made so much fairer in this sense 'cause they actually use replays.

And like I said, the momentum in basketball can shift so quickly that a large margin can mean absolutely nothing within 2 minutes.

I agree in a way. Every 2 point basket in basketball equates to what approximately about 2% of your teams scoring.

But when you get into the last quarter or so in tight games, every bucket tends to have quite a lot of meaning and I think Callum was referring to buzzer beaters at the end of the 4th quarter which can win or lose a game. Literally half a second can win or lose a game at times.

I wouldn't have football any other way! If I went into the pub and said "yeah, everything was fine" what the hell would I talk about the rest of the night? And yes, but those are incomparable to all the times worldwide that football matches have been won in the last minute. And that's because the margins are smaller! But your final point can be applied to any sport. Liverpool in the Champions League final? I can't see a basketball match getting drawn back from 60 - 0 to 60 - 60. But you get that in football.

I don't see a basketball match going 60-0 to begin with.

28's not young! He's 3 years older than LeBron.

I'd say Kevin Durant or Derrick Rose are the rising young stars of the NBA right now.

[Arch]

Durant is a rising star aswell tbh

Dwyane Wade is so rubbish this season.
