*cue the NBA on NBC theme song
It's NBA All-Star weekend and, while I'm sure that this year's All-Star Game team selection is going to make for another entertaining game, I have an idea for next year that might be even better.
Hear me out.
I think they should create an NBA All-Hater team: a roster of the most antagonistic, haters and hated players in the NBA.
I'm talking trash talkers, instigators, and hitmen. Folks like Chris Paul, Pat Beverly, Isisah Thomas (80s Pistons), Dennis Rodman, Dwight Howard, Rajon Rondo, and so on.
Now, the reality is that with an All-Hater line up, we would need to make some adjustments to the All-Star game rules.
Like, statistically speaking, we're gonna need to adjust the rules so that each All-Hater player can get at least 3 technicals per player. Even with that, they might not have enough players to finish the game. Why? Because it's the hater squad and they gon fight about everything 🤷🏾♀️ The first fight is gonna be who all in the starting line-up. And honestly, I don't even know who I would put on a starting five. I might just rock paper scissors it. Super democratic.
At least two of 'em ain't getting off the bench because they gon fight each other - and this gon eat up a couple more technicals if anyone else jumps in.
At least of three of 'em will take the L with an opponent. Maybe even a fan. 😬😬 (Disclaimer: I do not believe in violence. Please be kind to one another)
If the live version of this doesn't work out, then onto plan b is: same idea, but in a NBA2K video game instead.
Ultimately, I think the All-Hater squad would lose on forfeiture, but that is a game I would watch.
