That's crazy. I kind of like the general thinking outside of the box though. Could see wanting to adopt some variations.

Those rules are crazy.


I guess I'm really conservative when it comes to basketball. I think basketball should just be 2's and 3's. I dislike any proposals about a 4 point line or any variation of the rules that shakes the game's foundation. I don't mind adding in more refs/review rules so they can get a call right, but once you start making dunks worth 3;s and 3's worth 4 and shots in the last couple of seconds worth X. It gets complicated and gimicky.

Curry/Jordan/McGrady/Dirk/Shaq. 


A backcourt of Jordan and Curry is already unstoppable. Add in prime Shaq and Dirk??? Doesn't even matter who's the SF, but Orlando T-Mac was a 30ppg scorer and at the time was legit debated between Kobe and him over who would be better. 


Prime Jordan was unguardable and a tenacious defender. Curry forces every defender to be drawn out with his gravity. We all know how efficient and lethal Dirk was. Prime Shaq could never be stopped or contained. With Dirk/Curry spacing, the lane would be wide open for Shaq. Jordan could have all the mid range shots he wanted. 

And thats before even getting to T-Mac who was incredibly athletic and could also score from anywhere.
