re: MLB or NBA more grueling?

Think about it this way... if you played 2 to 3 hours of basketball for a workout, that would be a pretty intense exercise session

Yeah but in the NBA you have a ton of stoppage of play between media time outs, free throws, ect. The NBA season is also like 9 months long to play 100 games if you win it all and baseball is like 6-7 months to play 200 to win it all. Baseball is so gruelling because there is no time to recover.

I really think they are pretty even. In baseball you are never really "tired" as in like spring tired, but you're body just aches. Basketball after a game you are going to be more time, but by the next game you'll be somewhat recovered.

I also think hockey gets a little too much credit. It's tough, no, doubt, but they play like 45 seconds at a time. They are just tough as hell and play if they are hurt.
