Agreed. What's the most expensive equipment for a basketball team? The shoes? The amount of equipment and associated infrastructure (skate sharpeners, nets, Zambonis, etc.) needed by a basketball team is miniscule compared to hockey.it’s more popular, absolutely, but basketball has a much lower bar of entry than hockey does
Hmm, so expansion/relocation has gone better for the NHL, is that the argument here?
well run, the NHL doesn't have teams being moved across the country every time they go on an 8 game losing streak...
ah, the NFL probably has no stars with those helmets on and guys only playing on one side of the ball thenbut that’s a function of the sport, not the league
my shitty ass can hide way better in hockey than basketball
non helmet league, top players average 30+ minutes rather than 20 or so, basketball has less physicality than hockey, etc
honestly yeah, with Lebron, Steph and KD in there tooThose are the biggest NBA names right now?
if we’re talking about best run leagues then the NFL is lightyears ahead of the othersah, the NFL probably has no stars with those helmets on and guys only playing on one side of the ball thenbut that’s a function of the sport, not the league

For what time frame? I don't know NBA markets well enough or their situations exactly...the NHL has greatly expanded its talent footprint (the leading scorer in the league is from Arizona, youth hockey in the Vegas metro area has exploded, etc.).Hmm, so expansion/relocation has gone better for the NHL, is that the argument here?

NBA marketing is way better than NHL for at least my entire sports life...Marketing pal. Hockey is way better yet we don't let the stars shine
Right now. I'm not arguing which league was better in 1941For what time frame?

The WJC team has players from: FL, CA, CO, KS, OH, AZ (x2), MT plus all of the usual states. In 1991, there was a VA and an OH (Ian Moran who grew up in Mass.) and the other usual suspects.
I doubt we're talking about all-time or even post-WWII. But just in case we are, the NHL was in a booming expansion mode around the same time the NBA contracted nearly in half in a 10-year span...
Nah. You're actually both starting to agree with me, if you open your eyes enough to see itis this ulf’s heel turn?
Ok, I figured and addressed that out front.Right now. I'm not arguing which league was better in 1941For what time frame?
