NBA

With the Nba playoffs coming up, it can no longer be avoided that the season with the playoffs is starting to feel like baseball. Some teams are so far ahead in the standings the only time you see teams like Sac town is on the receiving end of a top-ten highlight on Sportscenter, dun-dun-dun, dun-dun-dun.

The NBA season needs to be shorter, maybe 20-25 games less. I feel like 60 might be the magic number. Just enough time to show how good certain teams and players are and how bad teams like the Clippers and the Kings really are. 

Speaking of bad teams, there should be a tournament of the teams that don't make the playoffs and the top prize is the 1st overall pick in the draft. The lottery is weak anyway, not to mention more fixed than the WWE (that was a Rick Reilly-ism, which I am sorry for). Because face it, the only person who is going to watch the lottery is Blake Griffin and he should return to school if the kings get the pick. Thanks but no thanks.

During the all-star game, fans should get to vote people into the slam dunk competition that they want to see. Nate Robinson vs. Dwight Howard– golf clap. But Kobe vs. Lebron vs. Gerald Wallace vs. (insert comedy pick) I choose Yao Ming. Then I want a dunk competition on an 8 foot rim with a ton of white people like Luke Ridnour vs. steve nash vs. luke walton vs. a retired dunker like an aged Dr. J or Charles Barkley.

 To finish off the all-star festivities, there will be a WNBA bake-off, and fans will be able to buy their favorite cookie or pastry to keep the league afloat. 

Lastly, I would like to tweak the playoffs. The top teams from east and west should be mixed by record and bracketed from there. Teams from the west should not get punished for being better than the teams in the east. 

Although, I am excited for Kobe v. Lebron in the finals. If you don't know by now the NBA is fixed, but with Lebron and Kobe on the tube, how could you flick over to the Duel II.
