Nah... but I would get rid of the three-point line to make 'em work the ball into the hoop.
Maybe get rid of the 1-1 foul shots too.
Instead of the bonus shot, let's "borrow" a hocky rule and make a guy sit in a penalty box for a minute or two. The teams would then have to play shorthanded 5 on 4 for a while. (or 5-3, or 4-4 or 4-3, whatever the situation calls for) Should make for some interesting strategies, don't ya think?
You Buchanan types just can't stand change, can you? ;~))
Hey, us American Firsters are "creative conservatives"... we're the ones who think outside the box!
Don't forget the outsourcing to those 7 foot Chinese guys either.
Wilt Chamberlain woulda kicked that dude's dupa.
You have got to be kidding me. The 3-point play makes the game. It's a risk/reward play and opens the game up for talented players who aren't 7-foot tall. Your game would look like P.T. Barnums freak show.
Besides that, the 3 point it is exciting as hell and can allow for great late game comebacks.
Appealing to your paleo side. How about we get rid of the net and go back to the peach basket nailed to the wall and have a guy there with a ladder to get the ball out after each basket --- the way Mr. Naismith intended? (No jump shots either.)
And screwed all his sisters too!
Truthfully, I doubt Wilt could have kept up with the guy. These 7 footers today are quick as hell and have moves like balet dancers. As good as The Stilt was in his day, he would never be confused with graceful. What he was was the only 7 footer on the floor playing with a bunch of guys who were 6 inches shorter than him.
