Cloning Russell Westbrook!

ANNOUNCER

No one is more exciting than Russell Westbrook when he's running because Russell Westbrook goes full speed full court.

COMMENTATOR

Agreed, when he has room, Russell Westbrook is one of the most exciting players in the NBA. When Russell has room to fly, he can really fly.

ANNOUNCER

The skills of today's professional basketball players are off the charts.

COMMENTATOR

Absolutely! Did you see the Portland trail blazers in the NBA playoffs! The players coming off the bench for Portland have great run and gun skills! They would be fantastic in any other setting. 

ANNOUNCER

What setting would that be?

COMMENTATOR

We need a new basketball league. We need new basketball shows. We need new basketball tournaments. We need to take the guys sitting on the bench from all these professional teams and let them start all the time, and play non-stop, four-on-four full court. I would much rather see great athletes running and gunning full court, four-on-four, than playing the slow five-on-five, 3-point line to 3-point line, game we have today. There would be way more highlights! Let's open up the game by playing 4-on-4 full court, 3-on-3 full court, 2-on-2 full court, and 1-on-1 full court.

Basketball Doesn't have to be Boring

ANNOUNCER

I'm so sick of watching basketball players run from 3-point line to 3-point line. It's boring!

COMMENTATOR

I hate it! What I loved about basketball was running and gunning. There was nothing better or more beautiful than fast break basketball. Now all they do is run 3 point line to 3 point line and bore the heck out of me!

ANNOUNCER

Yes, I'm watching these NBA playoffs and sometimes I just can't stand it.

COMMENTATOR

Yes, with the talent level we have today It's horrible the way the game is being played. These players today can all handle the ball. They are phenomenally talented. They can run full court, basket to basket, non-stop they have such great endurance.

ANNOUNCER

Yes but the game shackles them.

COMMENTATOR

Absolutely. It's all about mathematics. All we need to do is change the game enough so that these great athletes can make 70% of their 2-point shots. that would suddenly make it worthwhile too fast break all the time! We would see non-stop dunks! The players would be constantly running and gunning. There would be 10 times more highlights, maybe 100 times more highlights! 

ANNOUNCER

So what do we do? 

COMMENTATOR

We play four on four full court! Suddenly the players will have the room to run and gun all the time. The players will have the room to fast break all the time. Basketball will be more exciting again. There will be more highlights again. Basketball will be beautiful!

Virginia vs. Texas Tech

ANNOUNCER 1

This NCAA national championship game is killing me! There is no offense. Basketball players today have outgrown the size of the basketball court. There are no passing lanes. There is no driving to the bucket. There is literally too much defense. The answer is 4on4Ball™

ANNOUNCER 2

These great players can't run and gun because they need to be playing four on four instead of five on five. They need space to run and gun.

ANNOUNCER 1

The opportunity is there for entrepreneurial former basketball players to start television shows, streaming video, etcetera about 4 on 4 full court with basketball players that are constantly flying down the court. We need dunks, ally oops, fast breaks, and speed again. We need high-scoring games!

Final Four - boring!

COMMENTATOR 1

In the final four, Virginia beat Auburn 63 - 62. Texas Tech beat Michigan State 61 - 51. 

COMMENTATOR 2

In that NCAA Final Four, I saw some of the greatest athletes in the world play two of the most boring basketball games ever. Neither team scored over 63 points.

COMMENTATOR 1

The scoring was historically low.

COMMENTATOR 2

Basketball is broken! And the math clearly says so. Most importantly, those great athletes could have played a far more enjoyable and entertaining game!

COMMENTATOR 1

Explain yourself, without boring the heck out of us!

COMMENTATOR 2

It's simple! What do I love about basketball? It's the fast breaks. It's the running and gunning! It's the full court, high-speed, game with spectacular passes ending with amazing dunks. It's the high scoring high flying basketball of my youth. It makes me sick seeing great athletes standing around and passing the ball around the 3-point line. Snoozer! 

COMMENTATOR 1

Actually I agree with you. The first 38 minutes of the first game were boring. The last two minutes were finally great. It was the same with the second game. There were a few good minutes but the rest of the time it was all a defensive clamp down. Where's the offense?

COMMENTATOR 2

The solution is ridiculously easy. Play 4-on-4 full court basketball. Yes, 4on4Ball(TM) would let great players play great wide open games and score over 100 points every game.

Run and gun! Bring back the magic!
