Yes, if I meant top speed, sure.
I meant the pace of play. The speed of contact.
These are 6.5-7+ foot 200-290lb players running at top speed, slamming into each other in closer quarters with no equipment.
If you think hockey is harder than basketball, I suggest you probably haven't played both. Or you are biased.
The pace of play in basketball is far higher in Basketball, with as many or more moving parts than Hockey.
In my opinion.
