razorsharp- That is a silly remark. Wrestling and basketball are quite different and I don’t think you can say one is a more “difficult” sport.

Try them. Then you will understand. The amount of effort necessary to be a good wrestler greatly exceeds the amount of effort necessary to be a good basketball player. On the other hand, basketball requires more coordination that a lot of people either born with or not. Success in wrestling is all about effort and only a little about coordination. Nothing silly about my remark.

BTW, another significant difference is that wrestlers have to starve themselves to make weight and then wrestle while emaciated and dehydrated. Basketball players play on a full stomach.
