WE LIKE SPORTS
jwhouk:
Handball is one of those sports that the US does not excel in, because the skill set that is most useful in its play is almost identical to that of an actual American-made sport where people get paid a crapload of dollaz to earn the right to be whipped by San Antonio in the NBA finals.
osaka:
Handball players are bulkier and slower (and usually slightly shorter) than Basketball players. And in fact, I'd say that the handball skillset is more suited for playing american football.
mustang6172:
I feel the need to express that fantasy drafts are ruining all-star games.
GarandMarine:
So what you're saying Osaka, is Europeans are wasting perfectly good rugby players.
osaka:
No, we're wasting perfectly good Handball players. Gosh GM, it's like you don't even read what I'm writing :P
Actually, handball success relies on ball speed and explosiveness. I'd say they'd be, at most, slightly above average rugby players. With the exception of centers, they'd probably be good.
Then there was this Argentinian acquaintance I had who was pretty much average at both sports :psyduck:
Side note: You really really really really don't want to play Rugby in Sweden, at least during winter.
