Episode of 4ballUSA™

The main character works all of this dialogue into the episode.

"Have you heard of the movie Moneyball? It's about Sabermetrics in baseball. It stars Brad Pitt. It's an excellent movie and the book is spectacular as well."

"There is clearly an opportunity in basketball when you look at the statistics to create a reality TV show, movie, and a brand-new business."

This list of 6 is turned into dialogue for discussion:

1. Basketball is the most shared sport on social media around the world
2. Basketball teams used to score over 125 points per game
3. The most fun basketball for fans is Phi Slama Jama!
4. The most fun basketball for fans is "Dr. J." style run and gun!
5. The most fun basketball for fans is Magic Johnson style magic time!
6. The most fun basketball for fans is Showtime by the Los Angeles Lakers!

"You have probably heard coach Phil Jackson or coach Greg Popovich complain that the 3 point line has ruined basketball. If you look at the statistics, they are correct. The run and gun basketball game has been destroyed. Players now mostly run from 3 point line to 3 point line, and shoot 3 pointers."

"The run and gun style of basketball has disappeared for the most part."

"Today, there is not as many fast breaks."
"There are not as many spectacular passes."
"There are not as many dunks."
"There are not as many blocks where the ball is pinned to the backboard."

"Mathematically, there is a solution to all of these issues. Find a group of players willing to play 4-on-4, full-court. Mathematically, this creates more room for the players and will create the run and gun style of basketball again. LeBron James can be stopped 5-on-5, because of the lack of space on the court, but he can't be stopped 4-on-4."

"Kobe Bryant can be stopped 5-on-5, because of lack of space on the court, but he can't be stopped 4-on-4."

"Any retired NBA player could start a brand-new basketball league owned by retired NBA players who want to play 4-on-4. This would create far more highlights than the NBA games do today."

So, if you are interested in 4-on-4, full-court basketball we could do the following:

Plans to get the reality TV show off the ground:

1. Find some players. They have to be good enough to dunk. Fortunately, there is a huge excess of players today that are that talented, but can't get into the NBA.
2. Hook up with a company that is doing basketball league scheduling using a cell phone app.
3. Hook up a company that is doing sports highlights using a cell phone app.
4. Learn how to shoot a game concentrating on highlights
5. Learn how to share the highlights on social media
6. Start creating the reality show from day one.

Film all 6 of the things above as they are being done.
