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!
