Count me in for both basketball and soccer.
Coming from Greece,
soccer football is hands down the #1 sport here. Basketball is a clear second. I used to watch football all the time when I was a kid. Nowadays, I prefer basketball. Go Cretan Kings (a tiny little team from the island of Crete)!
Btw, up until a few years ago, most basketball fans in Greece weren't following the NBA. All they cared about was the Euroleague and/or to a lesser extent the Greek Basket League. Things have changed in the recent years, solely because of Giannis.
Anyway, off the top of my head, here's my best 11 consisting of players I've seen play (let's say from the mid 90s till today)
--------------------Buffon-----------------------------
Dani Alves----VvD----Maldini----Roberto Carlos
---------------------------------Xavi-------------------
------------Iniesta-------------------------------------
Messi-------------Zidane--------Cristiano Ronaldo
