How to improve the NBA..

Not that I think it needs much improving, mind you, but I think the following would be cool:

  1. Dennis Rodman Defense Masterclass TV show/Video. When I was a kid growing up in the UK, they'd have these Masterclass shows on TV, with musicians like Julian Breem and Paul Tortelier working with well-known but up & coming young musicians. I'd like to see a show like that with Dennis and a couple of rookies/sophomores, and him teaching them advanced defense/rebounding. Also Kareem Center Masterclass, Jordan 2-Guard or Stockton Point Guard Masterclass.
  2. Dinner for Five (NBA version). Like Jon Favreau's program. Something like Cousy/Stockton/Kidd/Nash/Paul, Russell/Kareem/Shaq/Parish/Bynum, or Oscar/West/Jordan/Kobe/Lebron. Just sitting there, shooting the shit, telling war stories and talking about basketball.
  3. All Star Game 2 on 2 half court contest. 16 bigs, 16 smalls. Pair them by picking numbers out of a hat. Winner takes all for $2 million. Ping pong rules: 1st to 21 by 2 or more wins.
