Better Sport - Basketball or Hockey?

Question

Better Sport - Basketball or Hockey?

Answer 1

Hands down, Basketball! You don't have to worry about landing on your butt!

Plus all you need is a ball, the park provides the hoops!

Answer 2

Bball all tha way<3.

Answer 3

Well I have played hockey for like 7 years and basketball 2 and so far I like hockey way better. It really depends if you want to play a really rough game or a game like basketball not that it is not rough but if you watch a hockey game and a basketball game you see way more people in a hockey game fall. Not many people play hockey so everyone will say basketball.

Answer 4

Basketball is much better.  Here are two reasons why:

1. Basketball is a game that anybody can pick up and play.  Just grab a ball.  There are many public hoops available.  No need to spend 30 minutes putting on expensive gear and finding an ice rink somewhere.

2. Basketball, played at its highest level, is a demonstration of amazing athleticism.  I'm not suggesting that NHL players are not athletic.  But when I watch an NHL game, there is nothing the players do that looks superhuman.  Watching Jordan or Vince Carter dunk is an amazing experience.  Dunking like that is something the average person could never dream of doing.

Answer 8

Basketball because not everybody can afford to get everything needed to play hockey. All you need is a basketball and a rim to play basketball.

Answer 9

Wanna share this argument with you guys...

1st guy:

basketball is wayyy better than hockey:

learn to put skates on and walk (skate) on ice and BAM, u got ur self a hockey player. but putting shoes and grabbing a ball is not gonna make u a basketball player, you have to figure out the power, force, direction, and much much more to put the ball in the hoop.

the only thing i like about hockey, is the hott guys :], and the fights, if i want to see talent, i would spend my time watching basketball.

2nd person:

Wow, who ever posted all you have to do in hockey is put on a pair of skates and wham you have a hockey player is stupid. Basketball - babies begin to play as soon as they walk. Everyone can grab a ball and run and throw it into an unguarded hoop. Wow, such a display of talent. In fact everyone does all those basketball courts set up-basketball hoops above garages wow mind blowing talent is needed. Hockey takes more skill than many are willing to admit. Each sport demands athleticism from the players but skating vs. running. Stupid comments by an unknowledegable person.

3rd person:

I agree, stupid comment about skating vs. running. Each sport has it's good and bad points. One is more of a contact sport the other is not. Hockey is a low scoring game in which it takes a lot more effort to score vs. basketball. The end result thos is the same usually the winner is decided by just a few points. It depends on if you want a lot of cheering for points or more of an edge of the seat game. The last minutes of a tight basketball game is exciting - hockey is played like that for the whole game. Hands down hockey is more physical, exciting,and takes more skill to play.

4th person:

Hands down basketball is the better sport. No mean to rain on your parade but isn't hocky just like one big fight on ice? Basketball takes the skill while hockey takes the aggression. Although skating vs. running isnt true, neither is babies playing basketball. I must say basketball has hockey beat, no matter what people say about the fact basketball is less "intense" It could just be the fact that Basketball players have the skill to make such a hard game seem "easy".

ME:

What else should I say...???
