Riding at least 10 miles a day spot to spot doing tricks, lifting a 30 pound bike,spinning it,whipping it around. Or shooting a basketball running at the most a mile all together. Shooting a ball that weighs 1 pound and 6 ounces???Me and my friend are argueing. Please answer
 
Well, I used to BMX-racing Sponsored am. The light bikes! LOL! I also played JV basketball. I would say Basket ball takes more endurance, muscle and strength. Your forgetting about playing against a person that also lifts weights, and keeps in shape. We used to run 10 miles to get in shape for Basketball. It is a sport where you constantly keep running. BMX trick riding is no joke either, but you have inventions to help you. The wheel first off. Gravity and force. That is why they call them tricks.

Now can B-ball players go out and BMX? Heck no! it is all different types of strength. I can say I was a better skate boarder and BMX rider because I played other sports. I was in shape from all the running. I was conditioned to outlast all the guys that only did that.

Now it's a different game. They extreme sports guys also lift weights and condition themselves. I speaking from my life in the 80's, 90's and early 2000's.

Try going up against a road cyclist. he is in better shape than any other athletes, except maybe a runner.
