Coach Wooden suggested that years ago. I still think it is a great idea. Better yet, take the median height of NBA Players and raise the basket by some factor of that median so we don't have to keep raising it.

Basketball is the only sport which gets less exciting as the level of competition goes up. High school is best. College is OK. NBA is ho-hum.

They turned a perfectly good game into a circus.

You can build an all star team and you still aren’t beating the 71 Lakers or 96 Bulls. If any of today’s players went into the paint back in the 70’s-80’s they would be destroyed. I think it was Bill Russell who said if Jordan ever tried to do what he does against him, Russell would level him.
