However, yes, these sometimes are team sports, but let's be honest, they're individual sports in a team environment.. Same for gymnastics or track..

I'd say out of the "team sports", Hockey, mostly because of the skate factor.. I haven't met too many skaters in my life, who didn't have ridiculously strong legs...

I agree with the MMA. The legs also have to be able both take a pounding from an opponent as well as dish it out, without pads.
