People talk about speed all the time. BASKETBALL is way faster and needs more power, speed, skill, etc.

Basketball is way harder than Baseball and is much better.
Brother Jeff, we finally agree on something. And don't forget stamina, leadership, etc.
 
i disagree completely i think basketball is yet more challenging on the body you dont go through slumps in bball in baseball one bad swing can make you go 0 for 20 and one wrong throw bam your arm is done for ever
 
Baseball is a much better skill-set sport. Anyone can run around and shoot the ball and it occasionally goes in but you actually have to have skill to be able to hit a 100 mph fastball or be able to field a line drive coming right at you. Basketball uses more speed because there's never a break in the action, but baseball is much more skill-set.
 
Basketball can be taught to kids easily, if you can run, jump and can be taught to shoot, you can play basketball with relative ease.
Baseball is harder to teach to kids. Its hard to teach kids to field a ground ball of adults still make the odd errors, or makes kids work to throw a fastball hard when it can be stressful and career ending on arms, and even hitting a fastball when the top athlets at lucky to hit is 3 out of 10 times.
I have played both sports and still do play them both and I like them both but I would say that hitting a baseball and being able to do all the skills are much harder to learn than basketball. I played basketball for 1 year till I was a good centre and it took me 1 year to become a good baseball player. I guess I am not a good example being a natural athlete but I still find baseball harder and more fun.
 
hey Stan i know you are still angry about how bad the Magic did against the Lakers and you should be fired man
and even tho i am a basketball fan also and a baseball fan i have to disagree with you there
baseball takes more skill not everyone can do what a baseball player does
i mean look at someone like Jason Kapono he can only shoot the ball good and he is in the NBA and not everyone can be on a MLB team
also yeah basketball players might be better athletes but that doesn't mean playing basketball is harder then baseball by any means
Also if you are talking about stamina well soccer takes more stamina
and Football takes more power and leadership then basketball so don't be coming here talking about baseball being slow when you have obviously no idea of what you are talking about and don't have all your facts right
 
Baseball takes more skill.

If someone made 30% of their foul shots they would be out of the league very quickly. But if a baseball player gets a hit in 30% of his at bats he is an all-star.
 
I knoooow its sooo much harder to throw a ball in a 10 foot hoop when your 8 feet tall, than hitting a 90+ mph fastball with a bat! and also catching balls that are coming over 100 mph at you!
