- Case Type:

- Status:
- Verdict Reached

- nine judges or 1 week, whichever comes first

- Plaintiff:
- snash
- Plaintiff's Argument:
- I got into an argument with a friend last night which could best be summed up as "Who are better athletes, hockey or basketball players?" I took the side of hockey. After all, you can argue about a player's hand-eye coordination, speed, physical stamina, etc., etc., and both bball and hockey players clearly have those attributes - probably to about the same degree. But when all is said and done, hockey is played on ice. On ice! Think about that for a moment and I think you have to agree that hockey players simply have to be better athletes.
I post as evidence a hockey brawl. Not to help you decide, but just as something to stare at while my buddy fumbles through his non-ice argument. Also, please note they are fighting on ice. On ICE!

- Defendant:
- Hoopster
- Defendant's Argument:
- I've seen plenty of basketball brawls.
Skating is hard, but it can be learned.
Shooting a 3-pointer while 1000 fans scream and smack boomsticks and a 6'8" guy waves his hand in your face - that's just uncanny.
I've played both. Basketball is more athletic.
