Great vid so far, but the comment that’s on screen around 2:30 also mentioned having refs explain why they gave technical fouls, which I think would be a good step for the league. The ref would have to think before blowing the whistle; he’d have to evaluate “how would I look if I say I gave a technical foul because the player handed me the ball too aggressively?” It wouldn’t eliminate the issue, but if the NBA won’t hold refs accountable in any way, this will at least help a little.

I will say this considering the last SERIOUS pitch about the NBA having a "Euro-Week", I think something like having 15 teams in 15 cities would be next to impossible to pull off in a week. HOWEVER, what could happen is the NBA taking a page out of the NFL's book and having each team play one game in a European city throughout the 7-month regular season. Places that should specifically be targeted should be Paris, Spain (because of their insane basketball culture and history 🇪🇸), and either London or Germany. I think that right there is 100% realistic

Agreed. The NBA should consider something like this especially if they wanna make international NBA leagues. 15 games is definitely far too much, but here are some ways I could see this working: 1) the last 5 games of seeds 10 to 16 are played internationally. So, if these teams aren't in playoff or play in tournament contention, go play games abroad. 2) combine the draft idea with international play : again, the shitty teams go abroad to play for draft positions 3) there are always rest days in between playoff games where nothing happens in the NBA, it's typically 2 to 3 days in between rounds and games so they can align the schedule. On these rest days, schedule post season exhibition games to play abroad. There is still basketball going on and then go back to the playoffs. Make the incentive draft pick selections, monetary compensation/bonuses, etc. 4) easiest way of making this happen...summer league is international. Make a few games international, maybe finals international etc

If Jarrett Allen, Trae Young, and Scottie Barnes are in the 1v1 tourney then whoever gets the ball first will win. Allen can’t guard trae and trae can’t guard Allen. I think tatums idea for a possible 1v1 tourney makes the most sense. The bigs are in one bracket, the wings are another, and the guards are another bracket.

To piggy-back off the "Euro Week" idea... what if they shifted the schedule to make the IST a mid-season tournament? That tournament then (similar to UEFA Euros or FIFA World Cup) can be hosted by a country/countries or region. This IST and mid-season tournament would also replace the all-star festivities where those can be performed after the IST as a sort of "break" from the grind of the season/tournament and more fan-service

This is creative/funny. Great work 💪

This was fun keep it coming 😅

Here’s a pitch from a sport I play: any time they have new rule ideas, implement them in a trial game or tournament , either during a Christmas break or during all star weekend. You could implement the bigger restricted area, removing the 3 second violation, the missed half courts shots not counting towards your missed shot stats etc, without affecting the current season. You can also gauge the effect to see if it should be implemented in later seasons. In my sport, 4 pretty big rule changes were tested here and were actually implemented in later seasons, while a lot of other were not.

you’re creativity was impressive on this video idea, very fun and ‘watchable’. Whoever came up with this should be proud!

we always talk about what the modern 3pt shot does to defenses but what we dont talk about is how it makes 3pt shot less exciting i think something that would be neat to experiment in the all star game is make the 3 pt shot worth 4 pts but if you miss a 4pt shot its 1 pt to the defending team specifically the closest player to the shooter. This does the following: makes people less likely to shoot it twice in arrow, makes teams more likely to want to defend and makes the shot exciting again. I know this would be a monumental change but i think it would be worth experimenting with something like that.

Far out your content is so so good.

Yo that was fun! JJ crushing it this week

1. A points system of 1, 2 and 3 per game to determine the end of year MVP is already successful in Australia in the AFL called The Brownlow Medal. 2. Outdoor basketball during the regular season is also a success in Australia in the NBL having a stadium open the roof for a game during summer.

This is my favorite piece of content you've produced. Hilarious.

Once you are eliminated from playoff contention you start collecting points to get the Number 1 Pick in the Draft (3points for win, 2 for overtime win, 1 for overtime loss)! Team with the most points get the best odds at getting the Number 1 Pick in the Draft! This would let the worst teams start to collect points earlier. Would also incentivize winning once you are out of playoff contention keeping the end of the season very competitive while also not having multiple teams with sub 20 wins tanking for the best odds.

I adore this concept

I like the idea of more objective criteria for end of season awards like conference player of the month/week wins. I think it will lead to less controversial selections and also allow the hopeful candidates to understand what benchmarks they’re going to need to hit to be considered. I would also suggest putting a hard cap on how many games your team needs to win for a player to win MVP. I would say at least 50. I also like the idea of expanding the restricted area and eliminating defensive 3 seconds. I think this will bring back more position speciality and lead to more skilled inside/midrange scoring and less charging into the paint and hoping for a foul.

Enjoying the fact you are having fun with your platform.

The NBA had their first ever game outside in (2008). It was Golden State Warriors at Phoenix Suns at an Outside Tennis Stadium in Arizona. Don't remember much about that game, except that watching it on TV and seeing the players having trouble with getting a hold of the🏀because it was windy that day in the wind kept messing with the ball for most of the game. Multiple timeouts were called for wind stoppage calls. That was 16 years ago and the NBA has yet to have another outside NBA Game again😳.

Great vid idea JJ 👍🏾👍🏾

The get rid of dribbling thumbnail got me 😂😂 JJ you the real MVP haha

How to fix all star game: - winning team and game mvp both get large cash prizes (for them, not some charity) - winning side gets home court advantage in nba finals -maybe even lower season game count to add more time for players to recharge and maybe they won't use all star weekend for that. (Keep a minimum games played for award tho) - threaten that if effort isn't shown with those changes, the weekend will be done away with all together.. no more cash bonuses for all star selections, no more break in middle of season to recharge batteries, no more all star accolades counting toward HOF status, no more dunk contest, no more 3 pt champions, no more skills challenge or celebrity games.. just nothing If they want the benefits of all-star weekend they have to earn them and show they want it to be there.

For NBA draft. Assuming/preempting a 32 team league… Lottery odds are split into 4 groups of 4. 16-13 - Best odds 12-9 8-5 4-1 - worst odds A team cannot pick in the top 4 in consecutive years. A team cannot pick in the top 8 in more than 2 consecutive years. Picks are drawn 1-16, 17-32 in reverse order of playoff (not regular season) standings - with regular season being used for all the tie breakers. If a team is not eligible for a top 4/8 pick they get the next available pick (5/9 or worse if the second ineligible team picked etc.). If a team has traded the pick the receiving team eligibility applies. If the receiving team is eligible for top 4/8 pick BUT the giving team isn’t that receiving team can choose for the pick to be conveyed as a top 4/8 pick or the next available draft slot if there is protections on it - forcing it to be conveyed. If neither team is eligible then the draft pick must fall to the next available slot. Swaps and multiple trading of the same pick with different protections still allowed. Cannot trade picks beyond 5 years. Must have a first round pick on the books (own or traded for) every other year.

Loved this 🤣

On the euro league pitch, it’s doable. The NHL had in season games in a tournament style in Sweden during the season. I think what he meant in general was 15 games as in 1 game per team, across 15 cities. You can work this out with a benefit to the players. In the NHL CBA they have a worked-in 1 week break to the schedule for every team. What you could do is have the last game going into the break as the International game. Now the players are not only given 1 extra week of vacation, they get to start it with provided travel to another country. You have to think a Denver/Milwaukee game in Greece will be extremely well received, sell out more seats, and provide a prime travel destination all in one.
