CHARACTER ONE
Watching today's NBA basketball is a thousand times less interesting than it should be. Today's NBA is like watching a game of H-O-R-S-E. There are a bunch of long 3-point shots taken. But the fast break basketball game has mostly disappeared in favor of pulling up for long shots.
CHARACTER 2
I want to see the greatest players running and gunning instead of all this slowpoke stuff. The games were far more interesting in high school because all we did was run and gun.
CHARACTER ONE
I want to see Ja Morant, Russell Westbrook, Giannis Antetokounmpo, and Kevin Durant on one team.
CHARACTER 2
That's exactly what we need to do! Play four-on-four full court, because mathematically it would pay off to run and gun again. And, I would put those four great players as a four-player team up against anyone!
CHARACTER ONE
How about the other team's four players being Trae Young, Kawhi Leonard, LeBron James, and Stephen Curry?
CHARACTER 2
Those would be two unbelievably talented teams playing four-on-four full court against each other! I love it.
CHARACTER ONE
Mathematically it has to happen. We can't keep playing this slow old man's basketball. Entrepreneurs and investors can start a brand new TV series, a new basketball league, reality TV, and scripted TV, all about playing high-speed, full court, run and gun basketball again. We have an oversupply of great basketball players today that can play full court. They can all handle the ball like guards. Every player has handles. We have an oversupply of social media companies that need sports highlights. We have an oversupply of cable stations that need sports highlights. We have streaming media that needs sports.
CHARACTER 2
People have to think outside of the box. They have to adapt and change. Four-on-four full court, three-on-three full court, two-on-two full court, and one-on-one full court are the future of basketball.
CHARACTER ONE
I love how we're doing this. I love how one person is copyright protecting his material by blogging about it while at the same time getting the entire world to see it. There's no better investment than sports, because they are entertainment. Sports are fun and basketball is worldwide. TV shows, games, and leagues could all be done very cheaply using today's technology, programming, and all the other tools we have.
CHARACTER 2
You could practically do the entire thing with weekend basketball players because there is such a huge oversupply of great basketball players. And, with today's software on cell phones everything could be scheduled, and it would always be easy to make sure the four-on-four games took place. Then, the fans could film everything with their cell phones and create tomorrow's basketball celebrities by putting all the highlights, the dunks, and the magical passes on social media, cable stations, or streaming media. Everything would be like a rave!
CHARACTER ONE
For the cost of one professional NBA basketball player, the entire NBA could probably be taken down with a better, faster, product.
CHARACTER 2
Actually, it could cost far less than that because the whole thing could practically done for free because so many people love to play basketball.
CHARACTER ONE
Showtime baby. Let's run and gun again. Let's get back to Phi Slama Jama(R), like the University of Houston once had with Clyde Drexler and Hakeem Olajuwon. You never got bored watching those games, because you loved the fast breaks.
