It's hockey though.

That's funny, because the NHL has gone soft as well.
>>
>>74404342
I'm curious. I know the Raptors originally had a dinosaur logo, but what does everyone picture when they think of the Raptors: a dinosaur or a bird of prey? The latter to me seems like a way more bad ass team name, while the former is cheesy garbage.

Apehoop > Furpuck

Hockey is more respectable than divegrass but still has a boring vanilla feel to it, I would need to be drunk to watch it.

NHL by far. I love basketball but the NBA is rigged.

>I would need to be drunk to watch it

As opposed to being stupid enough to watch nigger pumpkin toss? Literally the least exciting of sports because the best plays happen every minute, making them meaningless.

NHL >>> NBA

Even with Bettman trying to ruin hockey, it's still way better than a league of 30 teams with only 3 championships contenders year after year.

Because hockey fans are out working hard at their jobs making lots of money and being productive members of society. On the other hand, apehoop fans stare slack-jawed at their computer screens all day while drooling over the new pair of Jordan™ shoes that they can't afford.

vs.

>sport requiring only a ball and a hoop

I mean really, how can you even call it a sport if it requires so much specialized equipment and things to even play? A sport should be a competition between athletes, using the bare minimum of set up and tools to play. Hockey is a game, not a sport, as the things it requires are specialized skills and equipment, not athleticism

NBA circa 2011 was fucking god-tier; OKC before the Harden trade....they were so fun to watch

There has never been parity in the NBA in any point of history. Maybe the 00s and that's pushing it hard.

Post the picture of the basketball player crying and needing to be CARRIED off the court because he got a leg cramp and it's compared to the picture of the hockey player who had a heart attack on the ice and the second he got revived he demanded to be put back into the game.

>it's another hockey fans talking shit about basketball thread

What the hell is wrong with you guys? What is with this inferiority complex you guys have, why can't you guys just enjoy your sport? Why do you have to constantly remind everyone how much you love your sport and how it's so much better than basketball - specifically. Your sport will NEVER be more popular than basketball because its really impractical. You got to have ice and all this special gear to play it. There's a reason you guys HAVE TO come online to find other hockey fans, meanwhile us basketball fans are out at restaurants or bars enjoying the game with a bunch of other patrons.

Also I like hockey the sport but it has by far the most insufferable fans I have ever seen, and that's impressive when you consider how fucking awful soccer fans are.

NHL by a mile. Less drama queens and gangbanders, more skill, more white people, and especially more parity. Right now I can already tell you that there's almost 100% chance the NBA Finals will be the Cavs against the Warriors. In the NHL a #8 seed can beat a #1 seed and it wouldn't be even that surprising.
>>
Ask any major city what they would rather have an NHL team or an NBA team.

I think that will answer your questions. I bet even in Canada people would rather have the NBA team.
>>
>>74414506
yeah it's p fast-paced (and can be very unpredictable)
I recommend you watch one of the NBC Sunday afternoon games (or Wednesday night rival games on NBC Sports), they usually have good matchups and color commentators that spoonfeed you the rules

It depends on demographics. Obviously cities like Atlanta or New Orleans prefer NBA, but I seriously doubt a city like Pittsburgh would give up the Penguins to get a NBA team.
>>
>>74415807
they'd prefer a second NHL team tbqh
>>
>>74401430
Depends. Are you white, or black?
>>
>>74415842
Whites are much better at basketball than blacks are at hockey. Advantage whites.
>>
>>74415807
>>74415807
>Pittsburgh

They had an ABA team but bball wasn't that popular back then so they lost it.
>>
>>74415842

There's so many good white players in basketball. This is a pretty stale meme.
>>
>>74415857
the sample size is too small; black athletes are pushed toward sports where they won't have fucking bananas thrown at them from the audience; you could argue that, if a high school funneled its talent toward hockey and no other sport, the black athletes might be fucking phenomenal
>>
>>74415880
>bananas thrown at them
This maybe happens in Russia but rarely in the US or Canada. Also blacks are generally shitty skaters for the same reason they're shitty swimmers - low bone density.

people make the same argument about NFL players vs NBA players
NBA is especially lucrative because roster sizes are so small (as opposed to the 60-man NFL rosters, for example), so the players can earn way more money.

Bulls beat 5 different teams for 6 rings.

That's better than Muh Warriors/Muh Cavs every year.

Maybe not parity, but better.

>>74415723

Basketball is way more difficult and a lot more complex than Hockey. It takes years to develop the right chemistry and talent in order to just compete for a title shot. That's the reason you see the same treams in the finals every year because it's hard as fuck to get there - everything has to be perfect and only the BEST teams make it, you dont get in by luck because your opponent had a bad night. You actually have to prove your better by beating them in a best of 7.

There's so many NBA hall of famers who never won a title, Steve Nash, 2x MVP, NEVER even made it to Finals. That's how hard it is.
