soccer players actually deal with injuries more often than basketball players. other than goalkeepers, it is very rare for soccer players to play in all 40-50 games of the season(suspensions excluded) while there were around 30 players in NBA that played in all 82 games.
Did Eduardo recover from that nasty injury..

Exactly. And lol @ football being tougher than basketball. In basketball, if someone hits you you hit him back. In football, if someone slaps you, you make sure ref is watching and you fall down like you've been shot.

Let's not even compare NBA to UEFA/FIFA....NBA is entirely disorganized and corrupted while UEFA/FIFA take care of business...
And no, it's not that I think soccer is better than basketball, I love both sports equaly but NBA has waaaaay more injuries than soccer does.

I also believe soccer players are in the best physical shape in any sport...and soccer is really violent sport...with crazy tackles...and crazy fouls... watching one UEFA CHAMPIONS LEAGUE GAME...and the way these cats play... and it's unlikely to see them injured...
You cannot tell me basktball and NBA is tougher sport than soccer. So many injuries in the NBA but so little in the soccer...this doesn't add up...
Watching one soccer tackle, where a defender takes down forward, it looks like he will never walk again the way he's fouled yet...he gets up and brushes it off...

Then, I would advice you to start watching a sport that nearly 5 billion people on this earth watch.

so not a physical and intense sport ?? i suggest you check out these vids:

ESPECIALLY THIS ONE: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LWeRwW2E ... re=related
Find me a video, where an NBA player died in a result of an hard foul.
I rest my case.
Just because someone posted a clip on youtube doesn't make it real. The guys is still alive and his name is Abdelhafiz Tesfawet (referring to the last clip)
As for heart problems, you should know it's not uncommon at all. Hank Gathers, Reggie Lewis.

But watch this and tell me it's not tougher than both of them:
