we have four elite basketball and baseball players
and thanks to Tide the sponsor of
today's video we are going to find out
which sport has the better athletes basketball or
baseball all right let's see
which sport will drop first you guys are locked in
Yeah, silence.
It's a long drop for shorties over there.
How you feeling?
I'm chilling.
Do you know how long you could hold on for?
All day.
All day?
All day.
You think baseball could hold on all day?
Nah.
No chance.
No chance?
No chance.
Damn, y'all are so locked in.
You look like you're meditating right now.
My name's Gabe Smith.
I'm representing the baseball team.
I played baseball since I was four years old.
I stopped playing to pursue a baseball content creation.
I got the baseball team winning all day,
and I think they sleep on baseball, so I think
we're going to prove them wrong today.
You think you could do, like, five minutes?
More than him.
More than him?
What do you think about that?
He looks a little lighter.
Is that good for the bar hang?
For sure.
You got less height, too.
My name is Mike Kalu.
I'm representing basketball today.
I would say I'm an official Bucket Squad athlete at this point.
I've done a few videos, been invited
to some of the competitions thus far.
I've won a few, and it's been good.
You locked in right now?
So locked.
How long?
How locked in out of ten?
Nine, eight, seven, six.
six seven all right and one person from baseball
is down the last four left hanging will get the
point for this round damn y'all
are like stoic oh one basketball player is down my team got it though
Oh, what's that?
3v3.
Game.
oh one hand wait a minute
Oh no, two from baseball are down
but you only need one person left hanging at the end
Oh no, it is down two to two.
Here we go, come on, come on.
Okay, only one player from baseball is left.
He's slipping, he's slipping.
It's all up to you.
I can see the sweat on your forehead.
Re-adjust.
You got it, you got it.
That finger going.
He's good, he's good.
No!
Basketball wins the first round.
Whichever team wins the most rounds
will be winning a cash prize.
It takes a bunch of different skills to make a great athlete.
So each round, we're going to be testing a different skill.
This one is going to be endurance with a game of chase.
One baseball player will stand on home plate
while the basketball player is on second base.
When I say go, each player will attempt
to catch the person in front of them.
Let's see who catches who first in a best two out of three.
We're on your guys' home field.
Do you think you have what it takes to win this round?
We got it.
100%.
We'll do it.
What gives you the advantage?
We know how to run the bases.
You guys are going to send someone up to go first.
I'll go first.
All right.
Step up to the plate.
All right.
We got our first matchup.
You know what?
We're on baseball's home field.
I got baseball taking this round.
Come on.
I'm Zach Davis.
I'm representing the baseball team.
I just feel like I'm the best athlete here,
hands down, and I'm excited to do it.
Three, two, one, go!
Here we go.
I have a feeling this challenge will last a long time.
Come on, Zach.
You can't run.
Okay, right now, baseball kind of has the lead, I think.
Oh, he's sprinting.
No, baseball has the lead.
You got to pick it up, basketball.
Come on.
See, basketball's got a lot of muscles.
I know that personally is very tiring.
Run.
You got to sprint.
Can you make the comeback?
The thing is, baseball is full sprinting.
Will he run out of energy faster?
Damn, I know they are gassed right now.
Hustle, he's behind you, he's behind you, run.
You gotta be able to dig deep as an athlete.
Oh, he slipped, he's giving up.
And baseball takes round one.
It's a best two out of three.
Let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go.
Baseball, please send out your next contestant.
Let's go, let's go, let's go.
Oh, they're picking their big man.
What makes baseball players some of the best athletes
in the world, I'd say is just we could pretty much
do anything i feel like a lot of different athletes
and different sports have trouble
coming to baseball but baseball players could transition easier
into other sports let's go
mark oh let's see easy i know he got cleats
on i ain't gonna lie he got cleats on y'all
What's up, y'all?
That's not cheating.
hey the baseball players game prepared the next matchup
is mark basketball versus thai baseball
I'm excited for this three two one go
And the time has started whoa the pitcher's moving fast
The shoes are crazy.
Oh, my God.
Wait, this dude is like, he's giving Shohei right now, bro.
He is moving.
This dude is so fast.
You got to run.
Oh, my God.
Oh my god!
Oh, my God.
He's right there.
We got a double!
Let's go.
Easy.
Easy.
And baseball takes this round.
Let's go to the next one.
For this round, we will be testing speed with a relay tic-tac-toe.
Each team will be racing one by one to a game of tic-tac-toe,
where they will be dropping either an X or an O to get three in a row.
My prediction for this, I got baseball just
because I feel like y'all be sprinting base to base.
You do more sprinting than like long distance.
I got baseball winning this.
But prove me wrong, guys.
This challenge is going to be a best two out of three.
I hope you guys are ready.
Three!
Three, two, one, go!
Speed is one of the most important attributes of an athlete.
Baseball took the middle.
I feel like the middle is the best spot.
In terms of speed, they are neck and neck.
Oh my God!
Once they get three in a row, it is the first to run back.
It looks like they're both just trying to get three.
Oh, but baseball's gotta run a little bit farther.
Okay, whoever gets to the finish line takes it!
And basketball takes round one.
It is a best two out of three, though.
That was a smart strategy going from the back to the front.
It's interesting to see no team decided to block.
Let's see if they change their strategy with the next round.
So you still go middle.
If they go on a line, then you block, and then we can go across.
You get what I'm saying?
Let's see if their strategy changes in three, two, one, go!
All right, let's see who makes it first.
All right, baseball has a slight lead.
Which one will he go for?
He goes for the middle.
Tagged in.
Okay, baseball has the lead right now, but anything could happen.
Is he going to play defense?
Why would he go there?
That didn't make any sense.
That didn't make sense.
Ha ha ha!
And baseball has three in a row.
Ah!
That was just bad strategy.
Basketball, at that point, he should have cut them off
from getting three in a row.
That would have been the ideal strategy.
That was a noob move.
It all goes down to a final round.
Number one, I got to ask, why didn't you stop their three in a row?
No, I didn't even realize they blocked it.
You could have blocked him.
All right, what's the game plan?
Final round.
Should we go middle first then?
Yeah.
And then we can go any direction based on how they put it.
Okay, let's go middle first this time.
Gotta get middle,
because it opens up all the different ones.
Then where they go, you just block that.
And then you go, yes, exactly.
And we have faster guys, so we're gonna win.
Winner takes this round in three, two, one, go!
I'm excited.
They both put their fastest players out first.
And baseball takes the middle.
That's the best spot.
And baseball's got quite a lead right now.
But anything can happen.
It's about the strategy.
Okay.
You've got to play defense.
Smart move right there.
Once all three of their pieces are down,
they will run and adjust one piece.
Okay.
Oh, no.
He didn't play defense.
He did not play defense.
That was a new move.
That made no sense to go there.
It didn't make any sense and baseball is taking this round.
We are winning this round!
And with this round, the baseball team is that much closer
to winning the cash prize.
And these are the scores popping up right here.
Let's see what happens in the next challenge.
And for this round, we're gonna see who is more
Accurate.
Both teams will take turns throwing balls at targets.
The first team to hit the target wins the round.
It's a best two out of three.
Round one is a baseball bat on home plate.
Each team will throw baseballs
from the outfield to try and knock down the bat.
First team to knock it down wins.
Okay, so my predictions for this round,
I feel like baseball, y'all really be accurate.
So I'm sorry, guys.
I got to go with baseball.
Y'all think you got this one 100%?
We better.
We've been throwing these things our whole life.
All right, let's get into it.
All right, baseball, you are up first.
Needs to be a direct hit.
A little warm.
Time up.
First try.
Okay.
Who are you summoning right now?
Luka.
Dodge it.
Oh.
Jester, this is for you.
Okay.
Hit it.
Oh.
Damn, bro.
Disappointed.
I like it.
I understand it now.
I understand it now.
Okay.
Come on.
We got to get some more power.
This is for Ty.
Money.
Oh, my God.
Oh.
Oh.
Oh.
Oh.
Oh.
Oh, bro, I swear you hit.
Oh.
Don't hurt yourself.
Go home.
Oh, rebuttal, rebuttal.
You got one more throw.
One throw.
Rebuttal.
Here we go.
All right. Baseball takes it.
These are the scores popping up. Now we're going to go to
the basketball court for the next part.
It's best two out of three. Baseball won the first
challenge, but basketball, we're on your home court.
It's a basketball throw into the target.
Round two is a basketball passing challenge.
Each team will take turns passing a basketball
through the target. The first team to make it wins the round.
Here we go, Mark. Let's go, Mark.
Come on, basketball. This is your chance. We need to come back to this.
Let's end it right here.
The accuracy challenge.
Top of the circle.
Yes, sir.
Oh!
Are you a pass first type of guy?
I do it all, man.
I do it all.
He does it all.
Let's go.
Let's go.
Let's go.
Oh!
Come on!
Oh!
Don't give it to the pitcher.
This is what he does.
No.
Oh, never mind.
Never mind.
It's not what he does.
Hey, do you understand it?
I understand
it now.
Baseball, you have a chance to match.
Are you clutch, though?
That is important as an athlete, the clutch gene.
It's 1-1.
We're going to the third round to find the winner.
All right, it's tied up 1-1 on this challenge.
The final round, we got a dodgeball.
It's kind of in between basketball and a baseball.
Round three is the tiebreaker.
Each team will take turns throwing a dodgeball at the gong.
Everyone is going to go.
Whoever can hit that gong more is winning this round.
And the winner of this challenge will
be one step closer to winning that cash prize.
All right, who wants to go first?
Baseball, you ready?
Let's do it.
Okay.
He's locked in.
Oh, yeah.
All right, who's going first over here?
Go ahead.
Fresh Mom.
And it's a miss.
Here we go.
All right, baseball is up one.
Hey, if you can get a lead right here two in a row, shot.
Oh, no.
Pressure's on.
Hit a one-liner.
One-line driver.
Oh, so close.
Hey, secure it right here.
You got it, too.
Here we go.
Shot.
Oh, hell no.
All right, so if you hit this baseball takes the round.
Come on. Let's go
Let's go.
Come on, come on.
End it.
P.O.
All right, this is
Let's go baby, let's go baby, let's go.
Oh
Hey, these are the scores popping up.
All right, onto the next challenge.
This round is a 1v1 tug of war.
This is showing your grit.
Who's got that dog in them?
Man versus man.
And we have a pool of slime
that the loser will be pulled into.
My prediction for this round, I got basketball winning.
Yeah!
This is gonna be a best two out of three.
And baseball, you get to nominate who goes first.
Okay.
Yes, sir.
yes sir this challenge will get pretty messy they'll have
to use every last bit of energy
to get through this or they will get slimed three two one go come
on come on come on
Come on, stay up, stay up, stay up.
Stay alive, stay alive, stay alive.
Get back, get back, get back.
It is an even match.
It looks like baseball has a little bit of a lead.
baseball is fighting
He's waiting.
He does give off.
Takes the round.
And good news,
Tide just released a new upgraded formula
of their best odor fighting detergent
Tide with Odor Defense plus Oxi.
All right, basketball, who are you nominating to send up?
Number four.
Baseball, who are you sending up?
All right, number four versus number four.
Oxy boosts the stain fighting power
without the damage of chlorine bleach.
That makes it ideal for grass stains, dirt, and grease.
All right, boys, are you ready in three,
Three, two, one, go!
Oh, yeah.
Let's go, Peggy.
Come on.
It is all tied one to one.
This is the final round.
Everyone, send up your contestants.
This will be more of what people love from Tide.
Their best mal-odor formula with the stain-fighting power of Tide.
It has improved odor technology by removing odor residues
from fabrics instead of masking them.
It all comes down to this.
Three, two, one, go.
Come on, come on, come on.
Oh, takes the win.
You get in there.
You get in there too!
Yeah, you see what I mean?
Our talking trash is getting heated in here!
Phone a lot, let's go!
Let's go, baby!
Get him some Tide!
Get him some Tide, he need it!
These are the scores.
Let's go to the next challenge.
We've got a lot more challenges to go.
And remember, whoever wins the most rounds will
be winning that cash prize.
This round, we will be testing everybody's vertical jump.
My prediction for this round, I got basketball.
Yeah!
even though i predicted basketball
to win number four on baseball he's their tallest
player and he was telling me he actually had
a crazy verse so i'm excited to see him go
all right whenever you're ready come on get up get up get up game
Get up, get up, get up.
wait that wasn't bad i don't think it'll be a first place
but you top of the backwards
Oh, my God.
I don't know if any of us get that.
I don't know if baseball is going to match
that until they get to their final guy.
That might be the highest jump of the day.
Yeah, let me see you top that.
Let me see you top that.
Hey, who cares about them?
That's easy.
Come on, get up.
Hey, we got heart.
That's easy.
Get up.
Okay.
Oh, they're laughing.
That was bad, Twins.
That was bad.
Hey, we're 5'9", bro.
Like, damn.
Here we go.
Big jump.
Okay, lower than baseball's,
but it's just the highest sticker,
so basketball's still in the lead right now.
Yeah, get up.
Oh, yeah,
get up there.
Oh, yeah, hey, great effort.
Ha ha ha ha!
Here we go. No chance.
The day all right basketballs last go right here in the number four
from baseball. He said he'd be jumping. He got it like that
You got bricks in his feet.
Okay, I and baseball save their tallest bounciest player for last
Let's go baby, come on.
Prove them wrong.
Today
But basketball wins the round,
and these are the scores popping up right here.
Let's go to the next challenge.
For this round, we will be testing strength
with the bench press.
To test who is the strongest,
players will take turns benching as much weight as they can
until the other team can't match them.
We're doing a one rep max.
Whichever team can lift more will win this round.
Now my prediction, strictly off builds,
like I gotta say basketball, is winning the round.
Prove me wrong.
Oh yeah.
Let's start off with one plate on each side, 135 pounds.
All right, sending up number one.
Light work?
Light work.
Don't need no spot.
Got to hit the chest.
There it is.
Get a warm up.
Get a couple for a warm up.
OK.
All right, easy, easy.
Hey, Sly, Sly, we're just on one plate right now.
And we are now at 185 pounds.
Basketball, you think they have a chance
to compete with y'all on this?
No, not with him.
Not with him.
Not with him, man.
Y'all think those are show muscles?
Yeah, that's for sure.
Yes, sir.
Hey, Sly.
Get it up.
Okay, it's all about control though.
First two are easy.
Let's go to two plates, 225.
Yeah, he's nervous, he's nervous.
Light weight.
That's how he took it off the rack.
Yo, you saw how he took it?
Y'all don't want no power.
Look at him, look at him.
If there was any time to hit a PR, it'd be today.
Yeah!
Get it up.
Let's go, move it.
Just light.
Move it that way.
Easy.
Easy.
OK.
Easy.
We're going to add 10 pounds to each side, go to 245.
Come on.
Light work.
Look how, yo, you see how you pop it off the.
OK.
Would this be a PR or you've been here?
Yeah, it'd be a PR.
This would be a PR.
Let's go, Gabe.
Come on, baby.
Let's go.
Let's go.
Let's go.
Let's go, Gabe.
Get it up, get it up, get it up.
Hey, hey, let's go, let's go, let's go.
We're gonna add 15 pounds to each side going to 275 pounds.
Big boy weight.
Yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, just yo, yo, yo, yo, yo.
Hey!
Too easy, bro.
All right, can you guys match it?
Hey, you already hit the PR once!
Need you, Gabe, need you, Gabe, let's go!
It's a wrap, it's a wrap, dude, so just put it down.
Don't hurt yourself.
Real bad for you.
Real bad.
And basketball takes the round!
These are the scores popping up.
Let's go to the next round.
This round will be a test of hand-eye coordination
and reaction speed.
Both teams will send a player up to go head to head.
One person will drop the ball
and the other will be trying to catch
whichever ball they drop.
If they are successful, they will get a point.
We will be going first team to get three points
wins the round.
Who do y'all want to send up first?
You going?
You guys are good to go.
Here we go.
------- Gabe.
Here we go.
Okay.
Look at his head, Gabe.
All right, next two, next two.
Oh!
Let's go.
Come on, Zach.
You got it.
Oh, let's go.
Almost had it.
Hey, I saw the reaction time, though.
Yeah, Mark.
Get it, Mark.
Get it, Mark.
OK.
Yeah, Mark!
OK, come on!
Left to right.
What do you want?
What do you want?
Oh!
Oh!
I need a catch right here.
All right.
Catch up.
Big boy.
Oh!
Get it back!
You got to drop it.
You got to drop it.
This is a ball
of marble, baby.
Okay, come on, Gabe.
Let's go.
Right about now.
Oh!
I guessed it.
Oh, it's one.
You're not even
supposed to do two.
It was an accident, but you still caught it, so you get the point.
That's a great athlete right there.
Great athlete.
Come on,
come on.
Bring it strong, bring it strong.
Yeah!
You can end it.
You can end it.
It's two to one.
It's first to three.
Basketball needs a dub.
Let's see if they can get it in the next challenge.
The score is five to three,
and we are here for the final challenge,
the 2v2 truck push.
And for the final round,
the first team to push the truck
and themselves past the line wins.
Now this challenge is so epic.
We're doing two rounds and it's double points.
So what that means is basketball,
you would have to win both of the rounds
to win the video, but baseball,
you just have to win one of the rounds
To win this whole video.
Video.
So you have to strategize.
Whoever goes the first round cannot go the second round.
Huddle up, decide who you wanna go
and push the truck in the first round.
If they put their two dogs in the front,
just give them that one.
We could win the second.
We gotta win the first one at least.
We had to.
Yeah.
And remember, the team who wins this round
will not only win the cash prize,
but will also be crowned the better athletes.
Teams, send up your contestants.
Here we go, fellas.
I didn't give my prediction,
but my prediction is baseball winning it.
I feel like they have more power in their legs.
They won the tug of war.
Are you guys ready?
Three, two, one, go!
All right. And it starts off. Okay.
And baseball has a lead right now. Come on,
basketball. You need to pick it up. Go, go, go.
This is insane. Come on, basketball. Come on. Oh,
basketball's coming back. They're coming back.
Oh my God. They took the lead. They took the lead.
What? And basketball takes it. We're going to a final.
Round, that was insane.
Baseball had the lead.
They gassed out.
It's about your endurance.
So now the score is five to five.
Contestants get in position.
It all comes down to this final truck push.
In three, two, one, go.
And they are off.
It is even off rip.
Okay, it is very even right now.
We're moving.
Baseball has a slight lead.
basketball is taking it come on baseball come on it's
so even push push push it's so even come on
we gotta get confirmation it was so close let me get
confirmation we're gonna watch the instant replay
it was so close we had to go to a video review
and literally by inches team basketball has taken
Taking the win!
And with this, team basketball has won the cash prize.
Huge thank you to Tide for making this possible
and congratulations to basketball
for proving they are the better athletes.
If you want to see the other videos in this series,
they are popping up.
They're great videos.
You guys are the best.
Peace.
