My two favorite sports are soccer and basketball and they are more alike than I suspected. I thought they were quite different. Here is how they differ and are alike.
They are different because a basketball hoop is up in the air and a soccer goal is bigger and is on the ground. Also there is a goalie guarding it. In soccer the players use their feet to shoot goals and have 11 players on the field, but in basketball they use their hands and have 5 players on the court.
They look much different because a soccer field is on the grass and a basketball court is one fourth the size and is on wood. Also the players in basketball wear tank tops and shoes that cover your ankles. Soccer players where silky shirts and shorts and have cleats, shin guards, and long socks.
They are alike because you need speed, agility, and passing. In scoring points they are alike because they both are taking shots at a net. Also you need precisely aimed shots. In both of them you can make a living off of by coaching or playing.
That is how they are alike and different. Soccer needs more players and more space and basketball are for less people but far more popular in the USA.
