but you have to admit that basketball uses many more bones in a finess way. In hockey, you can play fine with a variety of broken bones, but what can a finess player play fine with in basketball without it drastically affecting your shot/jump? your nose? ..which they do play through. I feel they play through pain just as much as any other major mens sport.

I see what you mean considering jumping is a big part of the sport, but last time I check hockey was FULL-CONTACT. Basketball, while it is contact is nowhere near as rough and tumble. Also consider the speed at which the players move on the ice compared to the court - Throw in some composite metal sticks to get arms and legs twisted around and big boards around the sides of the rink then try playing with broken bones amongst all this shit. No contest here, imo.
