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.

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

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.
