Every game is a bit different. Different kinds of skills are required and different scenarios to prepare for. In many ways, soccer and NBA are similar, but there are also unique in many ways. Both are extremely athletic sports that need an unfathomable amount of skills and endurance.

However, while soccer is slow and methodical, basketball is a different beast. With teams being just a single shot away from tying or winning the game even after 50 minutes of action, one such play by Jimmy Butler is just noticed by soccer superstar Neymar.
