what if some nba games were played on courts where each side had 2 hoops (placed 6 feet away from each other). or what if the 2 hoops on each side were placed across the court from each other (so there wouldn't be a hoop in the center on each short edge, but instead 2 hoops across from each other on the long edges)

or what if some games were played under rules where only 2 players on each side were allowed to shoot 3 pointers. or a game where any shot that counts as a score must be immediately preceded by an assist.

part of what makes esports interesting is the changing variables on each map - each best of 7 involves different maps that use different strategies. what if we tried to add this to real sports?

One of the wilder ideas in the book is letting teams drop the 3-point line wherever they want.

I think that would bring some diversity back to the league in a cool way. People have both told me that’s a great idea and a terrible idea.

lol ive never heard anyone talk about a basketball court using the terms "short edges" and "long edges". are you some kind of ESL?

This is what Bobby fisher wanted to do with chess by starting the game with pieces in random positions.

What about this rule: The person who scored your team's previous points CANNOT score the next points. Any baskets they make will be a turnover until someone else on their team has scored.
