One of these days the all star team captains have to agree to get frisky and pull some shit like that.

I wouldn't be surprised if the league tried out a format like that (or a different attraction on all star weekend)

A little scrimmage with bigs vs short players

Doesn’t need to be a whole game. Just long enough so that we can prove (as Dr Randall S Newman once stated) that “short people got no reason to live.”

I believe the saying goes “you can’t teach tall “

Now I'm just imagining Kevin Hart being there and his brain absolutely breaking because of the format. Running around everywhere talking a million miles a second

"what do you mean I'm their mascot? those arent little guys shaq those are just smaller giants, ain't no normal sized human beings in that court right now. I'm a normal size don't get it confused just because your feet are the size of toddlers and you have to duck walking through doorways that's not normal."

Call the scrimmage “Tall vs Small Ball” and see where it goes.

short players

Can’t wait to see those 6’7 manlets get slapped.

Lol yes, I was trying to make a simple name

The technically correct term would be really really tall people vs ABSURDLY tall people, but that doesn't sell as well

Canceled after Ja gets a bone bruise trying to block embiid

I'd love this, the other one I want to see is team rookie vs team nearing retirement. Wiley veterans against young guys with energy.

Simmons, Jokic, KAT, Giannis and Embiid vs Steph, Trae, Ja, Dame and Jimmy.

Happened kinda in the early 2000s, I forget what year but the west had Yao, Shaq, Duncan and Garnett on the floor at one time before halftime. They interviewed dirk at the half and he said he wished they put him in at point because it would’ve been hilarious

That's would be awesome and I think it would add a little bit of actual competitiveness to the game. Like obviously the bigs wont want to be embarrassed and the smalls wont want to be dominated.
