a lot of guys i know who play football plays basketball better. same with guys who play soccer.
soccer guys have good footwork specially in the paint when playing basketball
football guys are good with making tight shots in the paint and with intercepting overhead passes, etc
in other words, playing multiple sports helps your game.

Anyone who wants to replace a coach because his dwarf team keeps losing against bigger teams is wishing for a miracle and should get a magician. A more practical solution is to get reinforcements unless one is content to wait a few more years in the hope that the dwarf players will grow wings and fly over their defenders. PBA reinforcements will not guarantee a championship, but it will guarantee close losses which is enough to make me happy.

Every sports require common skills and a guy who is fast, jumps well, has endurance and footwork has great chances to develop his level quickly., not football soccer. Cuz we don't play soccer here in the South
Lebron is a great example of that
