Help settle dispute on athleticism...

I voted basketball. I'm torn.

Hockey is more demanding physically and they go all out typically for short Bursts and that is why they line change more often. It takes some finesse, aim and power to make it into a net with a guy in front of it.

Basketball is demanding for endurance so players can make it most of the game and get some breaks. Much more finess and skill required to have the touch to make shots consistently. Not the same since you don't have a guy standing in front of the rim but the rim also isn't twice the size of the backboard. And it is elevated, not on the same plane.

Hockey fights are much more fun to watch. The players typically seem more down to earth.

I love hockey games, I enjoy basketball if it is the playoffs when they actually seem to try, or college ball is awesome to watch.
All l know is they don't have march madness for hockey so basketball wins IMO.
