Trunks vs Spider-Man... in basketball 🏀

This is a first but since it’s a simple game of basketball (1v1) I’m guessing it’s first to 21? First of all how tall is Spider-Man and does Spider-Man have any basketball experience?

Agreed I don’t think Spider-Man has any real basketball experience or skill and even if he did it wouldn’t compare to Trunks. In that exact panel I could be wrong but Trunks appears to be doing a cross over or in more technical terms a push cross. He also blew by his opponent so it’s probably likely that he knows how to attack his opponent laterally speaking and taking advantage of his quickness followed with his handles. He also got low on the drive which is typically taught in basketball when attempting to drive to the basket. His form is pretty close to textbook basketball form too/generic basketball shooting form so it’s likely he can shoot. I think Trunks comfortably takes this, whether it be dominating from the perimeter or area.

Eh I mean it’s not much but it’s cool to know Peter Parker can dunk maybe he could get two points assuming he can cut Trunks off offensively but I doubt Peter Parker can handle. Since he lacks handles it’s actually really difficult to land a dunk such as that since you need some coordination and technique to get it off especially on a moving, agile and quick opponent. If Trunks notices that’s his only strength he can probably just camp paint forcing him to shoot from range.

I’m not super knowledgeable on basketball but I’ve heard that height and weight are important, Peter is 5 foot 10 inches or 1.78 meters and is 167 pounds or 75.75 kilograms, trunks is 4 foot 2 inches or 1.29 meters and 66 pounds or 30 kilograms
there’s also the fact that if they’re holding back to hide their powers their both probably going to make themselves about as strong and fast as they look and they both look athletic but spider man’s a 27 year old man and trunks is 17 years old so spider man probably has the stats advantage if that’s relevant
Trunks obviously wins skill by a good margin
Just listing advantages of each not going to vote since I don’t know enough about basketball

Thanks for that information since I was asking for it before. Peter Parker has a significant weight advantage and height advantage so funnily enough he could just play Trunks in the paint and post up majority of the game. If Peter had more showcases of having post game and interior skills such as floaters, lay ups, post fades and sky hooks I really think he’d dominate the entire game but he’s just lacking in that department. Depending on Spider-Man’s stamina he could potentially get a few dunks on Trunks since he’s literally almost two foot taller than Trunks. I do think Trunks’ speed such as lateral speed could cut him off sine Peter is likely uncoordinated and can’t handle the ball

i feel like spider man's power set (goated acrobatics and spider sense) is easier to use in a match while being able to not arouse suspicion. He'd just look like he's cracked at basketball.
Meanwhile what does trunks have? He looks like he's above average when competing at high school(?) level. Whats he gonna do when the much taller guy with perfect balance and body control + precognition starts putting pressure on him?

this to me clearly implies that peter is landing all those goals himself. not knowledgeable on either character but im betting on spiderman

OP says they can’t use their powers at all, whether or not he could use them while hiding them doesn’t matter because they’re not allowed to use them at all

Do acrobatics count as a power? Or like, what is the line/definition of a power we're using here?
- 972

He can literally jump over buildings, his acrobatics are definitely a power
- 9,179

Well sure, but like to what extent? When would it be considered normal acrobatics or a "power" acrobatics? Anything beyond ordinary human limits? If it's a result of his spider powers?
Even if he holds back to not clear buildings, couldn't he still do normal human levels of acrobatics for an advantage?

He’s most likely going to pretend to be as acrobatic as how acrobatic he looks like

How can you tell how acrobatic a person looks like?
- 972
- 396
usually good acrobats are compact and muscular and lightweight

I feel like that fits Peter, yeah?
- 972
- 396
yeah he does look acrobatic, not sure if that will help him very much though
- 9,179

Well his acrobatics should be a lot better than Trunks if the level of acrobatics they can use is based on how acrobatic they look. That'll be an advantage at least.
