Colibrehs you've been made NBA commissioner with the task of fixing the NBA. You are guaranteed a 4 year contract to do so. What would you change?

One of the biggest issue for todays NBA is accessibility. Fans in their home towns can't watch games due to blackouts or simply can't find games locally. I'm interested in watching the Pistons game tonight. How do I do that? Either by buying a package or paying a subscription for a new app. Visibility into the product is too damn fragmented.

Bring the physicality back into the game and get rid of the euro step.

Clean house with the referees.

Get rid of the play-in game.

To your last point….5 games in the first round of the playoffs

Why not eliminate the 3 point line completely instead of just the corner 3? I don't think just getting rid of the corner 3 would keep teams from shooting less 3s.

No more 3 second rule
Legalize handcheckin
No more freedom of movement, impedin progress rules
Maybe make court dimensions a little smaller

Zaza rule probably won't be eliminated but its too damn much babyin of shooters shyt is ridiculous. nikkas get away wit assault against post players but shooter got protection of a president.

Onball you ain't been able to defend much in a long time we seen alot of players to coaches to GMs speak on it. Offball they gave players more freedom to get where they want. Zaza rule for reckless closeouts which could get ejection now and now nikkas extra careful on closeouts. Just protectin shooters more and more like QBs



PG is one of the best defensive wings of a generation, many time All Defense, DPOY finalist..... "thats a foul now. Its killin the game. Now we cant be defenders cant defend like we used to. In pick and rolls you could be aggressive, physical.... you cant do none of that now. Offensive player has advantage now"

We seen how many American stars dropped off and played like shyt in FIBA and Olympic ball where there no 3 second to give wide open lanes where there already the best spacin stars have ever had by far today. Only real hittas games ain't affected but we seen most American stars now play like shyt overseas especially the 2020s era of stars

Don't even got to take all players words for it the commish straight up said it :manny: you can deny defense is softer now but that not based on reality anyone who actually been watchin for years, decades, from fans to players know the reality. Defenses more sophisticated now but that don't matter when you can't be physical

A big issue with the nba is players being overpaid without earning it, this is largely a NBA problem. This is a function of the awful CBA. Why are players that havent Produced or don’t bring eyes to the sport getting 9 figure contracts


You have to earn your big 2nd contract in other sports.

The primary issue with nba is that fans feel like the players don’t care and the games don’t matter

1. Reduce season to 65 games. Play in division teams three times and all out of division teams twice.

2. Expand the restricted area. Need to get rid of people sliding under folks that drive and drawing bs charges.

3. Bring back handchecking.

4. Get rid of the second apron shyt they did. Broke boy owners need to pay up or sell their teams.

5. Every NBA team must also field a WNBA team. Any money you spend on your WNBA team roster removes the amount you're over the cap for your NBA team.

6. Corner three counts as two. Push three point line back further.

Owners and players wouldn't agree to less games, it's just too much money at stake that no side would want to give up. And rightfully so.
