Eh, you're putting words in my mouth. I never said a Basketball player couldn't be good at Frisbee if they trained at it, just like they had to train for Basketball to be good at that. I also never said you need to have great endurance to not get tired at a pickup game, that's one way basketball and frisbee are different.
The whole "Frisbee sucks because no one watches" is a bad argument because Frisbee is 30 years old, to Basketball's 110. Did anyone care about Basketball in 1920? I'm sure baseball and football fans at the time saw Basketball as "for college kids that don't play real sports". There wasn't even a pro league until 1940 (50 years later), and it really wasn't even a quarter as popular as it is now until the 1970s. It takes time for a sport to get popular. If after 110 years no one still watches Frisbee, then you hvae a point, but until then it's apples and oranges.
