It is also a testament to how well the hockey players are developed aside from raw talent and skill. I am talking about education, public speaking, financial balancing, etc., is leaps and bounds above the development of a complete player on/off the court in the NBA. I know that the cultures associated with the sports are very different, as are the socioeconomic and geopolitics that the athletes experience in their local environments, which makes the developmnt of a basketball player all that much more important in that regard.
