Team Canada NHL or Team USA NBA, both mens.

Both teams have the best in the game, young and old. Both missed out on world titles recently, and they both are coming back hungrier than ever.

I say Team USA. Team Canada hockey has a lot more competition from other countries relative to Team USA, and arguably doesn't the best hockey player, which can't be said about Team USA in basektball.

Basketball. Hockey players can play hockey and golf. Ballers are actually athletic and can play a variety of sports.

its a toss up, i have respect for hockey players more than i do baseball players because hockey players kill each other and the way they can control the puck is amazing. so im saying its a wash.

plus ice skating is hard!

Hockey was actually ranked 2nd in terms of degree of difficulty, whereas basketball came sencond - according to ESPN.

From the article:
"Take the word of our panel of experts, a group made up of sports scientists from the United States Olympic Committee, of academicians who study the science of muscles and movement, of a star two-sport athlete, and of journalists who spend their professional lives watching athletes succeed and fail"

Why is this relevant? And, OP are you talking about all-time? currently?

You said both teams have the best in the game young and old?

Then again, Canada arguably does have the best player in the world in Crosby.

It's pretty close, but I'll go with the current Team USA.

I'd agree, if for no other reason than Russia is a far more formidable opponent in hockey than Spain or Argentina are in basketball.
