Thought #1: Make the Skills Competition a little bit harder.
I very much fancy this challenge. I love watching point guards carry the ball around plastic statues of Jerry West. I admire Steve Nash and the Canadian breeze he created all weekend, especially when he won this particular contest (it just might be the only trophy Canada holds up in the next three weeks, HEYOH). But I just feel as though it needs to be a little more "challenging". For instance, I would enjoy watching these point guards throw a behind the back pass, on the run, into one of those circular targets. I would love watching these guys have to do some sort of ankle breaking, And 1 Mixtape Tour dribbling move, that will be judged and added to the final score. It would be pretty amazing (and the NBA IS where amazing happens) if they put two giant plastic Jerry West statues in the paint, and the point guards had to throw up a running floater over them. How wouldn't these little add on's not spark more interest and talk during this event?
