    Say all of the big name nba players decided to hold a 1 on 1 tournament for charity. Would you pay let's say $350 to see that?

    I would go nuts for dame vs Westbrook or curry 1 on 1! There would be so many great match up potentials... Durant vs melo. Lbj vs kobe(a few years ago) Aldridge vs love

    Thats way out of my price range but if it was like 10-15 bucks to stream it online i'd probably donate to it.

    You imply that the tournament will be 1-on-1, not teams of 3 or 5. How long is each match? Is it a game of 21? How many hours of viewing pleasure do we get for our money?

    Mark Cuban called. He wants his cut. He's sicking his puppy Woj on you.

    I keep saying they should do this kind of thing at the All Star Game. Have a 1 on 1 tournament of 3 rounds. Play by one's and go to 10. Oh and no refs, Straight up street ball.

    Man that's a sick way to break life back into the all star game. I'd rather see that then the dunk contest honestly.

    I agree with some of this, but the NBA will make sure it's the "safest" street ball ever. Too much money invested... the Paul George incident is going to change a lot of things in how they have NBA players "Play".

    Watching 1 on 1 for the most part would be boring.
