Ok well I think basketball is one of the greatest sports every made!!! But anyways, I've been thinking...which is better? Street ball or professional ball....just wondering really.

I think street is better 'cause there are no rules and you can tear your opponet apart !!! Grr!

Do you agree?!

Since street ball is not so serious, you can be creative and just fool around with trick shots. In terms of a spectator sport though, nothing beats professional players.

street ball is only about the individual, you cannot win games that way playing against a 'team', one man isnt going to beat five. Jordan had his intimidation with his swagger, his confidence. And his basketball knowledge and quickness. it's not like he made every shot he threw up. His team just knew how and when to get him the ball and move out of the way. that was their job as role players.

pro ball is about the team, you cant win championships with one man. Look at the last few NBA champions, they play as a team. Detroit doesnt have a star on their team, still they are one of the best teams. San Antonio has Duncan, but still he has some of the best role players a team can have. Both him and his team make their chances at the title amazing every year.

Even with Kobe and Shaq, the Lakers won because their team had good role players, who again knew when to get them the ball and how. It's kind of a sh*tty way for a role player to win a championship, but it works. Other teams prefer to play right, using their entire team to win games, not just a few people. But that doesnt mean they will win, it doesnt mean they are good or even better than anyone else or better than enough teams to win a championship.
