| The Stanley Cup is the best trophy in sports though |
Basketball has the best playoffs by far! That is the answer I would give if I was ESPN during this debate that spawned a couple of days ago. It isn't' that simple though.
Everybody has their biases and that includes me and everybody else. Sports is and has always been about connections to teams and sports. People are more likely to be connected with sports if they played it themselves or if where they grew up influenced them.So most die hard hockey fans have a background of people influencing them or playing it themselves. I myself grew up playing basketball almost everyday so I have an undying love for the sport. So of course I am going to always back up Basketball.
Where you grew up has a great influence as well. There is a reason that Soccer has not entered this
discussion in America. That would not be the case in any oversea country. So I'm sure people in Canada and the North East would vouch for the NHL Playoffs but most of the country would not.
The only sports that people nationally vouch for is Football and Basketball but it's probably has a lot to do with the fact that those two are the most American sports. Baseball has been declining for while despite it's Americanism because of many factors like the speed of the game, length of season, and small amount of playoff teams.
