then have a 2 on 2 tournament where all the current playoff squads send 2 players each to compete in a ncaa final four format.

game is to 7, losers out, every basket is 1 point, 3 pointers are now 2 points.

what would the pairings be for this type of tournament?

cle - lebron + shaq
bos - pierce + kg
atl - joe + horford
orl - vince + dwight
cha - felton + sjax
mia - wade + beasley
tor - hedo + bosh
chi - rose + deng

lal - kobe + gasol
dal - terry + dirk
den - melo + nene
sas - parker + duncan
por - roy + lamarcus
pho - nash + amare
okc - durant + green
uta - deron + boozer

who would win?

So 41 road games and the CBS or ABC weekend game. Maybe double header. Usually it was the Lakers anyway. Want to see ELvin Hayes on the San Diego Rockets? Either wait until knicks played, but usually 10:30 game or allstar.

Even Baseball allstar game is lame now. Baseball is more condusive to allstar format cuz its not really an "Team". Positional players can play together.

Best activity on any all star game is the skills competition in Hockey and basketball.

And they will put 100,000 in the Cowboys stadium? Who would want to see that mess in person?

Basketball skils challenge is boring.

I like the 3pt shoot-out.

word, that **** is boring... i'd rather watch re-runs of American Gladiators than that lame PG skills challenge... & enough w/trying to incorporate the WNBA & old timers already in that lame team shooting challenge... if u wanna do that at least have them play a 3 on 3 game instead.
