Well that's kinda the core of half of all sports. Including hockey! Moving from one side to the other trying to score. Granted there's a lot more going on in hockey, but compare basketball to soccer and tell me there's a huge difference (soccer is still better though).

That said I don't care as much for basketball either, though I would still watch it over football and definitely baseball, which is my absolute least favorite sport. So incredibly boring. It's kinda cool when they hit the ball with a bat but that doesn't happen frequently enough to keep me entertained.

Anyway easy NHL vote. No better sport exists. The level of skill, physicality, and teamwork ethic hockey players have is incredible.

Let me rephrase a bit. Basketball is 95% of the time "run across the court with the ball and try to get the ball in, and the other team will either recover the rebound and repeat the process, or we score and the other team repeats the process". In hockey you will more often see plays where one team will get multiple scoring chances before the puck gets cleared, and due to the icing rule, you can't just rifle the puck to the other team's side without forcing a faceoff in your own zone. The game is much more dynamic and interesting as a result.
