Dennis Schroder, recognized for his basketball abilities, recently demonstrated his versatility in sports by competing in soccer for FC Germania Bleckenstedt. Nevertheless, his range of abilities was put to the test when he took on ex-Real Madrid footballer Toni Kroos in a 3-point competition at the Lanxess Arena in Germany. The occasion occurred at the introduction of the Icon League by Kroos and influencer Elias Nerlich, a fresh initiative focused on uniting athletes and supporters.
The 3-Point Battle
Kroos, known for his precision in soccer, came close to outperforming Schroder in his own game. In a popular video, Kroos successfully made 4 out of 15 3-point shots, while Schroder scored 9 out of 15 attempts. Even though the first video made some fans think that Kroos had won. It was eventually announced that Schroder was actually the one who came out on top. Even though the competition was friendly. The unexpected close battle was a surprise to many. Especially given Schroder’s past difficulties with 3-point shooting.
Fans React to the Cross-Sport Showdown
The viral video caused reactions on social media, with fans mocking Schroder for nearly losing in his own sport. Some have even proposed that athletes in soccer, such as Kroos, are exceptional in all sports. On the other hand, some were fast to support Schroder, highlighting the complete results indicating his victory in the competition.
A Fun But Unrealistic Fantasy
A fan made a joke about Kroos teaming up with Schroder on the Brooklyn Nets. But at 34 years old, the former soccer player is more inclined to savor his retirement instead of starting a new career in the NBA. Although it is unlikely that Kroos will ever play professional basketball. The 3-point contest showcased the enjoyment and bond between athletes from various sports.
