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?

I'm arguing against the point that the NBA is dying - that has nothing to do with whether I like it or not.
I'm arguing against the point of 3s being a bad shot - that has nothing do with whether I like it or not.

I take every era as it is. Today's era has found the best way to maximize scoring by prioritizing 3-pt shots (and shots in the paint) because they're the most efficient shots and they space the floor allowing for more easy scoring opportunities. Anything arguing against that is folks playing contrarian. It's like saying 2+2=4 and then folks come along and try arguing it's really something else because they're in their feelings - that's what y'all are doing.

Hoops is about putting the ball in the basket. If y'all have an issue with the league doing that, then the issue is more with y'all instead of the product.

ANSWER THE QUESTION.

IS TODAY'S ERA BETTER THAN
10 YEARS AGO?

The tik tok ain't saying all that...it's saying he flopped and pretending he didn't actually get hit in the face which he did. Ref should've called that before he even had a chance to flop.

It's that same kind of shyt that helps spread misinformation in shyt that actually matters and the fact that a partner to the NBA is engaging in this is a bigger issue than players shooting 3s or flopping.


TIK TOK IS CORRECT...

HE DIDN'T GET HIT ON THE SHOT
ATTEMPT.

HE LOOKS RIDICULOUS.

I'd incorporate today's game as being part of the 3-pt boom, which started around about 10 years ago.

I'd say overall teams today have adopted a more conducive method to winning than teams did 10 years ago, because just about every team now prioritizes 3s whereas not every team did 10 years ago.

-Not focus on the same nikkas for a decade straight, promote younger stars in prime time games.
- Push for prime time games in October November
- Make in season tournament last until February
-promote defense in the rule book

What do you mean which is better? Specify exactly what you want me to answer.

Isn't this enough -

tried to read some but goin in on my own:

widen court to extend corner 3s to a regular singular length ( more space for more room inside)

reviews have 2 minute limit . either u got it or u don't ..

every game will have 6 refs now. each baseline. and each half court . and only 3 can can call foul( depending where ball is in play)

expansion to at least 34 teams.. add Vegas. Seattle. 2nd Canada team big market. and maybe San Diego... cut season rosters to 15 total instead of 18.. and year round. (spread talent round).

would immediately incorporate those 4 teams .. teams will only be able to protect 5 players.. with players they are not protecting being able to get drafted with there current contract.. (regular is 8 protected but 4 teams coming in one off-season gon be crazy). new teams will be guerrenteed top 5 picks in following draft. (4 new teams + worse team).

bad teams can't be worse than there previous year ever if you received a top 3 pick. if u do it resets to end of draft and everyone gets pushed up. but u can draft 1s.. then 4th or 3rd then 4th.. but not b2b in top 3.

season will be 99 games. no preseason. keep summer league.. more games throughout day.. and long enough season to make sure there is no b2bs for any team. each team will play every team 3 times.. (home/away/other special) other special being other markets/ across the world / different venues (football stadiums/ diff arenas that could accommodate). there will be no more divisions or conferences.

playoffs will be top 16.. first round will go back to beast of 5.. since seeds will be crazy. 1 vs 16 etc. and season extension.

load management might still be an issue with season extension.. but if any starter misses a game .. fans at the game get a coupon for another game for a discount of whatever % of cap said player that missed the game was. so up to 30% off .. and if the game they pick also has a player missing a game they get another coupon.. so forth and so forth till they stop using said coupon or till starting 5 is healthy.

tell me what I'm missing..

Better in what way? Better in do I enjoy it more? Or better in that it's more conducive to winning?

I enjoy today's NBA the same as I did 10 years ago
Today's NBA is more conducive to winning (overall) than it was 10 years ago.

Now you tell me @CHICAGO why all these cats on this board cry about 3-pt shooting and want post play and the midrange to come back but have spent the last 4-5 years shytting on Jokic?

:mjgrin:

I WAS PROPPING JOKER UP
BEFORE HE EVER WON A MVP
SO WHY ARE YOU ASKING ME
TO ANSWER FOR OTHER PPL?

Except I'm asking you why don't posters on here gravitate towards Jokic (instead of shytting on him) when he embodies the style of play they want back in the league?

What do you possibly think the reason could be?
