That's good, and hopefully formatted in a way to take advantage of rivalries or at least potentially teams meeting again in the playoffs to add some extra spice later.

Could be interesting to see analysis around closer (better) games and star player participation compared to regular games

You know where that came from. They started playing and it was too easy to just carry the ball down court and throw it in the peach basket, so they had to make it harder. They then made this nonsensical rule that you have to bounce the ball while you're moving. There's no reason you should have to do it. It has no metaphor for reality. You just have to bounce the ball to make it a little harder. And then everyone ignores the rule anyway.

Basketball should be more like football. You barrel down the court carrying the ball and other players try to stop you or knock you down or steal the ball from you. If you get down court then you can shoot. That, my friends, is a game. If people want the ball, they have to take it from you with violence. This bouncing thing is pathetic.
Some interesting trivia, first team credited with dribbling was Yale. Players could only shoot or pass so they found a loophole that they could bounce it as a pass to themselves. Balls were too shitty to maintain a dribble so it was just a ton of 1-dribble moves.

I guess I don’t see what’s ridiculous. For the most part it isn’t some side tournament like the maui college bball tournament where it’s a side tournament. That would be awful for the nba because it would mess up schedules

They’re regularly scheduled games where they just decided to add some extra stakes. If it was disrupting the scheduling that would be one thing but it’s mostly not. The only dumb thing is the eyesore courts. Otherwise it’s one of those ideas that at worst feels like just another regular season game to fans who don’t care

College basketball does the same with the Thanksgiving week tournaments. They do it because its fun for the fans and apparently gets the players into it too (Durant said the same just yesterday, feels like the playoffs).

No one at the NBA offices bothered consulting with the 60-year-old NFL fan demo to see if they would like it because apparently every 60-year-old NFL fan admittedly refuses to watch the NBA because it has sucked since the 90s.

Yeah, it's true though. After the great Celtics, Lakers and Philly teams in the early and mid 80s, and later the Pistons, it was all downhill after that. You're spot on.

But how would you know if you haven't watched it in over two decades?

Trying to make early games relevant and not pick up ball where nobody wants to get hurt and expend to much energy...

I kept watching. I lived in Houston during the Rockets run, loved Hakeem and those teams, but it's just never approached those golden years when the competition was fierce and physical and the teams despised each other and the talent was less diluted.

I mean you could say that about any sport. Players were joking and laughing it up on the field right after the Chiefs got their asses kicked on Sunday night. Didn’t seem like it bothered most of them at all.

Yeah it's true. As a KC fan, Raiders-Chiefs, Royals-Yankees, that stuff gets in your blood. It's fine, but it does make it seem like it means less to the players than it did back then. And those guys weren't getting paid.

I'm glad others are confused here

It is not that complicated.

And the players are into it which makes it fun.
