Honestly, I would probably say basketball. It combines virtually every athletic movement you could possibly need or use, for everyone on the court. I can go and run 5 miles right now no problem, but put me on a basketball court for 15 minutes and I'm dying. It's so much different, alternating between jogging, sprinting, jumping, etc...it's just a different level of fitness.

That's why, while soccer takes endurance, I think it's easier to play soccer than basketball. You can stand around a ton in a soccer game. You can stand around a ton during a football game. Baseball? Don't get me started. Track, unless you're doing distance running, you're not going to be exerting yourself for more than a couple minutes, max. But playing 35 minutes or more of a basketball game? That just takes absurd fitness and athleticism to do well.

I'm not counting stuff like triathlon or decathlon or anything like that, by the way, because that stuff, along with Iron Man and stuff like that, is just on another level. I'm just talking about the primary sports.
