The NBA title is the hardest title in Major sports to win.

Running takes more energy than skating. Having to use more energy>skating around slamming people.

I am not a fan of the NHL, but I don't hate hockey itself. I know its a tough sport and everything, I just don't think it is as tiresome as basketball. I played both when I was younger. Hockey by far was the easier of the two. Basketball is so much more of a strain on your legs and your mind IMO.

The only thing that could make this statement more wrong is if you labeled yourself an LSU fan.

When you played "hockey", did you have guys 220lbs+ slamming themselve into you, or slamming you against a wall? I didn't think so. Face it, hockey is a harder sport than basketball. It's really not even much of a debate.
