An average NHL starter plays about 20 minutes per game out of 60, while an average NBA starter is about 35 out of 48. Also playing defense in hockey is far easier than playing an attacker since there less movement, not to mention the goalie. Playing a PG-SF in basketball in more physically demanding stamina wise than C or PF.

All in all there are far too many variables to have a flat out answer.
I've played hockey as well as sf in basketball. Hockey takes a lot more. Sorry but you're wrong. Hockey players go 100% the time they are on ice. Basketball players don't. So that whole plays more minutes isn't a fair argument. That's like saying if I sprinted as fast as I could for 20 straight minutes and you walked for 40 minutes, that you have more athleticism than me cause you did it longer. Doesn't make sense.
