“Jungle ball. Basketball as a full contact sport.”
As in my nephew had two teeth knocked by a savage elbow. He is so dumbass to play with them in the first place. Avoid avoid avoid.
Here’s how I’d change basketball.
You could make basketball a lot quicker. You know what you do? You have a two second shot clock. Soon as that ball is inbounds get that son-of-a-b***h up in the air.
I didn’t come to watch a game of catch; I’m looking for a four or five hundred point ball game.
I’m a fan. I want six overtimes and a thousand points on the board.
Another thing I would do for basketball at the center court line for ten feet on either side of the center court line, I would have a gasoline fire. You talk about the fast break - you’d see the really fast break.
Here’s another suggestion for basketball, I would allow twenty-five points for any ball that goes in the basket off another guy’s head. You’d see some good fights during those close games, I’ll tell you.
