Ice Hockey>Basketball

[Thanatos]

This was our argument in school today and I want to get VT's opinion on it. My friend said that Basketball is a more difficult and athletic sport then Hockey. I told him he was a moron and to never speak to me again.

Ice Hockey requires more skills being used at once then any other sport, and a more unique skill set. I am willing to bet that a Professional Basketball player cannot beat an average 16 year old hockey player at hockey, but a Professional Hockey player can beat the average 16 year old basketball player at hockey.

Hockey is also an overall better sport, we don't cry when the other team slaps us. In fact, we dont slap people, we slam them into the wall. If someone tries to drive the lane in Basketball, all the defender can do is stand still and hope for a charge. Try to drive to the my damn net and you will end up laying on your back staring at the ceiling.

Overall Hockey>Basketball and every other sport except Lacrosse, Rugby and Water Polo.

I would love to try ice hockey. I love rough and tumble games.I think it would be cool to bash people about with all that padding on and not get hurt

I'm more of a basketall guy but yeah hockey takes a lot of skill... more than basketball for sure.

Hockey does require more endurance and attention than basketball, but calling it a better sport is a bit weird in my opinion. What exactly is the critique to make one sport better than another?

I'm glad that making friends is so easy for you that you can simply throw them away like that over a tiny difference of opinion.

That doesn't prove anything. There are too many variables. Of course the professional hockey player will beat the 16 year old at hockey, since hockey isn't even the basketball player's sport.

Hockey is also an overall better sport, we don't cry when the other team slaps us.
Now we're talking about soccer?
