Basketball requires stamina to run up and down the court because your mostly running up and down the court. You have to be in shape but I believe that every sport requires a lot of athleticism to perform at their best. I thought tennis was easy but it turns out to be hard but I don't play it that much.

Parkour/freerunning uses a wide range of physical characteristics. You can't just be bulky, if you want to perform all of the stunts necessary just as you can't just be lean. They exercise their toes, their calves, their legs, everything from the ground up to the fingers out. Side: Football/basketball

I think we underestimate other sports as not as athletic enough mostly due to the mass popularity of basketball and football. Other sports require major athletic skills. For example Tennis is a sport that people think is easy. It really isn't. Its very hard. Its looks easy on tv but you must be very skilled to make a ball fly across the court at 155 mph. It takes lots of speed and endurance to catch up with a ball and eye sight and accuracy is absolutely important. Side: All other sports
