I would think that everybody would want to see how the players would adapt to such a change and what this would do to the amount of slam dunks in the game. It certainly would be interesting and worth watching but for obvious reason it would never happen. I find it interesting that 629 people said that they would no longer watch “No (26%, 629 Votes)”.

Get the game close. How about dialing back timeouts to less that 30 per game? Also allow one defender on eat team to carry a stick or a tazer? I am also not against a narrow, yet present moat at half court. Pull out the MTV Rock N Jock VHS tapes and take a few cues from them…..crazy sh*t like 5 pointers from certain spots…maybe 10 pointers.

I don't see how anyone who plays basketball can shoot less than 80% from the line. Or how 6'10 guys can't rebound. Then solve that whole tackling thing in the NFL. How can someone even get to the NFL and not know how to tackle? When I was a kid you would get cut from the Pee Wee league. You would have no chance of making the JV for the local high school if you can't tackle. Yet starting defensive players in the NFL never learned tackling? Well I guess it goes along with college graduates who can't read, but they usually can at least make a tackle or grab a rebound.

Not fair to the younger players who still have good hops.
