But, ultimately you're definitely right to a certain degree. However, while bball players have consistently gotten bigger and stronger recently, they still aren't nearly where you are, or most football players. I suspect they'll continue to get bigger to a degree and then essentially stop. I can't imagine many of them are giving up too much edge at this point by not being big and strong enough.
Of course, you're not recommending that I set a goal of 300lbs (at least I don't think!) so can't really argue your points even if I wanted to,

I don't think this would be a detriment my soccer game much, and should improve some aspects of it. Ive already noticed my kicking length has improved, and I am much harder to shift off the ball and win more 50/50 challenges. I can't tell if im slower, but it doesnt feel like it.
Try to look at the positives a little more!
Well, the negatives has been outweighing (ha!) the positives for a while in my mind. I'm strong enough for daily life imo. So I'd be getting big solely for bball, which is cool. But let's face it, it's not my #1 priority in life.
Just being strong seems kind of cool and when I was younger it seemed VERY cool (again, the young me would have done anything to know about SS and have a workout partner), but I mean, right now it just means I gotta buy more clothes and have a higher level of strength to maintain.
