The NHL is better than the NBA

I already know I'm gonna piss a lot of you off. I just don't see how basketball is more entertaining than hockey.

First off, hockey players are much more tougher. Yeah basketball players may be bigger, but if someone lays a hand on them, they are gonna flop. In hockey if someone takes a puck to the face, they go to the locker room, get checked out by trainers, and return to the game like nothing happened.

Playoff hockey is just night and day compared to the NBA. In basketball, it is almost predictable on what can happen. Yeah there are some upsets here and there, but you have idea of which players are gonna shine and which teams are gonna go far. In hockey, it's anyone's game. The regular season doesn't mater. The only thing that does matter, is if you're in or not. Once the playoffs start, everyone is 0-0 and everyone has a 1/16 chance of winning it all. There is so much randomness when it comes to hockey.

This is going to be really controversial but it is much easier to go pro in the NBA than the NHL. What I mean by this is that a dude that is really tall can probably earn a spot on a roster just because he's tall. For example that guy on the Florida team that's like 7'9" or whatever... yeah he's not athletic or anything, he's just tall. I saw his "highlights" from high school on my youtube feed and all it is is just layups and dunks and that's it because he has a height advantage on everyone that is almost laughable. I know that isn't the NBA, but I won't be surprise if he makes an NBA roster and becomes a Tacko Fall or something just because of his height,
