In this video I explain how the NBA can implement a one on one tournament to replace the all star game. I talk about how to implement different brackets, rules, as well as incentives that would make the tournament interesting and exciting.

The NBA Allstar game The Once highly coveted NBA event has slowly seen a decline in player and fan interest over the Decades of its history players don’t compete with intensity and no defense has played despite the League’s best efforts in recent years to correct this

It is clear to fans that players are no longer taking the game seriously as a result of this fans have begun Conjuring up suggestions for new events to replace the oldfashioned format one of the more popular ideas that has been gaining Traction in the media is a one-on One

Last Man Standing tournament well this is an exciting premise the league has actually done this before during the 1972 season the league hosted a one-on-one tournament throughout the 1972 season during halftime shows players involved in the tournament would face each other one-on-one as novel as an idea as it was back then the

Championship matchups didn’t hold the excitement of the fans the final matchup featured Pistons Center Bob lanir against Celtics guard JoJo white lanir being bigger basically back down white time and time again to win the title if the league were to bring this idea back surely the result would be the same with

A championship likely including the Heavy Hitters of the league like Giannis joic embiid or Lebron in order to combat this I’ve devised my own framework for a completely new style of one-on-one tournament that ensures a fair and competitive environment for each matchup weight classes instead of having

One tournament for the big men to dominate I suggest that three are hosted where the contestants are divided based on their body weight height and body weight are closely related so this should ensure Fair matchups just like the UFC we have three classes light middle and heavy I selected the 32 most popular

Players based on the number of fan votes and use this metric to set up their rankings in their respective mock brackets now that we have our tournaments let’s discuss the rules games will be scored as regular counting twos and threes with the first to 15 declared the winner there will be a

12-sec shot clock to ensure a pace of play and no dribble limits will be applied there will also be a referee with the usual responsibilities for regulating games looking out for travels and 3 seconds of the paint however there is one stipulation players will call their own fouls if there’s a

Disagreement on the call between the two players then a live poll will be sent to the fans to decide the ruling I think this could be a fun idea while also keeping the players from getting into too many disagreements because they don’t want to leave the decision up to

The fans now the first two fouls will be ruled as non-sh shooting fouls everything after that will be treated as one in-one fouls refs will be on the lookout for flagrant fouls however and if it is deemed as flagrant by the official the player will be immediately eliminated from the tournament this is

Done to help protect the safety of the players and ensure they don’t get too rough and rowdy since NBA players are so offensively talented that they can go go on shooting spree once they see the ball go through the hoop there will be no make it take it players only get one

Shot per possession and possession switches after each shot each play will start at the top of the key and will begin once the referee has handed the player the ball there will be no check ball to avoid any confusion in order to determine who will have the ball first

Each player will take turns shooting top of the key threes until someone misses all of these regulations should help make each game fair and fun to watch now before we hypothesize who the three Champions would be we need to find a way to incentivize the Players back in 72 lanir was gifted $115,000 cash for winning the tournament with the larger than life size of modern NBA contracts I don’t think a cash prize will do the trick anymore recently we saw Adam Silver Implement a change to the all-star game where teams could earn

Money for a charity Foundation initially in the first year this worked and we saw players try hard in the closing moments of the game however it seems that this strategy has already begun to fail as last year players went back to their old ways I think something can be learned

From this though the players have everything they could want for themselves they don’t need or want the reward instead the league should give out gifts to the players families or friends for example the league could partner with Disney and give a player’s family all access passes for a year

Another option could be that the NBA pays for an expensive vacation around the world again the prize shouldn’t really be the focus but rather who you are giving the prize to hopefully this in turn would cause the people who are close to the players to kind of

Influence them to try harder in the tournament for their own sake for the players they receive a different kind of gift just like the UFC the champions of their divisions will be rewarded with custommade title belts these belts cannot be owned permanently like a trophy but rather each year the champ

Must defend end his title or lose it this adds a little bit of flare and Stakes to the event each year now that all of that is settled for fun I’m going to guess how these fictional brackets would play out if you want to do this yourself I’ll put the brackets on the

Screen now so you can pause the video print them out and make your own Predictions all right so I use bracket hq.com to make this and I would highly recommend using their website if you ever need to make a bracket super easy to use so starting off right here we got Trey young versus keante George that one’s kind of a no-brainer Young’s taken that

One Isaiah Joe de Aon Fox yeah light work no reaction Dennis Schroeder and Alex Caruso I know Alex got that lock down clamp defense but Schroeder he’s just too good one-on-one Malik Beasley and Seth Curry two Shooters I’m going to give this one to Seth I think Seth’s better in terms of

Iso and now we move on to Steph versus Scotty Pippen Jr I’m sorry Scotty but you’re going home in the first round Patty Mills and Jose Alvarado now I I actually like Alvarado but I’m not going to give him this one solely cuz Patty got that veteran experience all

Right lamelo ball Mike Conley Mike Conley’s old man ass is not going to be able to keep up with lamelo’s flurry of moves Craig Porter Jr and Chris Paul again I just I got to go with the veteran experience and the player that I know more at least in the first round

We’re not sending Chris Paul home in the first round johnar and Malachi brandom again you got to give it to the guy you know johnar ish schmith and Patrick Beverly some of these names just surprised me that they’re in here but uh I was kind of grasping for straws to

Make 32 players for the lightweight division so that’s why you might see some random names like this um I really like ish Smith so this hurts me to say this but I’m going to put Pat Bev in for a ridiculous reason because I’ve been watching in his podcast I’m

Laughing I can’t even say this seriously I’m going to give this one to Pat Bev Trey Man versus Cameron Payne Payne’s definitely going to bring the pain in this one I remember when he was tearing up in the playoffs not too long ago that’s that’s easy Trey Jones versus Tyrese we got to

Give it to the new upand cominging Star I mean this guy is is all the news right now so definitely Tyrese Jaylen green and zier Williams I am a Rockets fan so I’m GNA go with a little bit of favoritism here we’re going to go with Jaylen green Jaden McDaniels and Deon

Murray well I don’t think much has to be said on this one Murray’s he’s like that I mean he just hit two back-to-back game winners so we’re going with Murray Cole Anthony and ammani Bates Cole Anthony my man you’re moving on all right last one of the first round

Aaron holiday and Bones Highland I’m giving this one to Bones I mean he hasn’t gotten much Spotlight while being on the clippers but I remember when he was on the Nuggets he was pretty nice so giving this one to Bones now this is where the matchups get a little bit more

Spicy Trey young and dearon fox I would give this one to dearon Fox I mean he’s just a a little bit quicker a little bit bigger so I think those things are going to give him the advantage Dennis Schroeder and Seth Curry yeah I’m probably going to give this one to

Schroeder just because he’s a little bit younger a little bit quicker off the first step so Seth Curry and Patty Mills uh well you can’t go against the greatest point guard ever I’m sorry Patty but you’re going home pack your bags lamelo ball and Chris Paul these

Are like the Polar Opposites of point guards to me one’s like big fundamental and the other one’s all about flashiness one’s Old One’s young and you really don’t need me to keep talking about this one I think everybody would say lamelo okay okay johnar and Patrick Beverly yeah

That’s that’s a no-brainer sorry Pat your podcast is good but you’re going back to Philly Cameron Payne and Tyrese halberton Tyrese has too many tricks in his bag for pain so got to give this one to hie Jaylen green and Deonte Murray I feel like there’d be a lot of smack talk

Between these two but Murray I think edges out over green Cole Anthony and Bones Highland H this one’s kind of tough uh I feel like Cole would barely get the win on this one on like a like again just barely all right round three it’s

Getting hot in here we got dear Fox and Dennis schroer I’m surprised Dennis Schroeder kind of made it this far looking back now uh yeah if this matchup happened I’d give the victory to Fox Steph Curry and lamelo ball I’m going to have to say Steph though John Morant and Tyrese

Halberton I feel like Mor’s just way too quick and he would blow by him de jante Murray and Cole Anthony I’ve been been looking at these matchups from an offensive perspective I’m going to flip it for this one and think about it defensively I think Murray would probably be a better Defender than

Anthony and so he’d probably win this one all right semi-finals we got dearon Fox and Steph Curry a rematch from the playoffs I mean if this happened in the one-on-one tournament this would be so hype this this would be just crazy levels of hype this would be an intense

Matchup and I want to say Steph but given what happened in the playoffs I feel like Fox is going to have a little bit of a chip on his shoulder and because of that he’s going to have a little bit more of that kind of competitive fire in him that’ll give

Him the edge Curry fans don’t kill me he made it far but he’s not going any further now John Mor and dejon Murray I would probably say John morance a little bit quicker and a bit better on defense so I’m giving this one to Jah which leaves us with the finalists

Dear Fox and John Morant I mean you could flip a coin with these two uh I feel like they’re just like almost carbon copies of each other I think it would just be the greatest storyline ever if johnar came off his suspension returned to Allstar break balled out won the tournament so simply

Because of the memes I’m going to give it to John Morant on this last one so your winner for the lightweight one-on-one NBA tournament would be John Morant or at least that’s my winner again you may disagree I may have made some stupid decisions earlier on in this

Bracket and you know what that’s fine if you disagree with my picks go ahead and let me know in the comments section all right all right now moving on to our middleweight bracket I’m going to speed things up here and kind of give less explanation for my picks just so that

Way this video isn’t over an hour long cuz I could rant about these NBA players all day first up Brandon Ingram Austin Reeves I got to go with Brandon Ingram on this one van Fleet versus hero I think van Fleet he’s got that Championship experience so van Fleet Simmons and H

Green uh I’m going to go with the possible Rookie of the Year candidate even though he shouldn’t be in my honest opinion Bridges and Garland Bridges went on a little spree earlier in the year but Garland’s too nice with the handles especially in one-on-one situations I see him coming out on

Top Emanuel quickly in Victor Wim Yama now I’m a huge Nicks fan so this hurts me to put quickly away in the first round but wanana is kind of the anomaly cuz he’s so much taller but because he doesn’t weigh that much he’s in the middleweight division so he might have

We might be seeing him go pretty far in this one Donovan Mitchell Jordan p uh prior to the Warriors to wizards trade I would have said pool but got to go with Mitchell Damen Lillard Zack LaVine Dame time sorry your dunks aren going to help you Here RJ Barrett Colin seon got to go with some Nick’s favoritism even though he’s no longer a Nick Derek white Jamal Murray yeah that’s easy Russell Westbrook and Kyrie Irving oh man this would be so entertaining to watch but yeah we’re going with Kyrie Jordan Clarkson and Devin

Booker well the cookbooks been on full display this year Devon Booker’s in his bag so dbook for sure Jason Tatum and Jaylen Brunson I hate that this is in the first round because I love again I’m a Knicks fan so I love Jaylen Brunson but I’m GNA have to put him away I’m

Sorry Jaylen Brunson all right Terry Rosier Scary Terry and cam Thomas two bucket Getters I really well I saw Terry Rosier recently uh live in in person and just because of that I’m going to put him over cam Thomas I know that’s a silly reason but Sorry Bradley Beal and D’Angelo Russell I’m going to give it to DLo solely because I haven’t really seen that much of Bradley Beal this year uh again I might be totally wrong but who who cares SGA versus Malik monk Monk’s nice but he ain’t nicer than SGA so SGA Takes the

Cake Spencer Den witty and CJ McCullum masters of the mid-range I’m going to say CJ McCullum for no reason I really don’t know between those two Brandon Ingram and Fred as I like to call him uh Brandon Ingram cuz he’s got the height and length Advantage Chet hom green Darius

Garland I know Darius garland would just cross the out of chadol green but I’m going to go with chat because of the same reason I chose Brandon Ingram the length and size Advantage Victor wanyama and Donovan Mitchell Donovan Mitchell is not blocking Victor wanyama shot sorry D Mitch Damen Lillard and RJ

Barrett well Dame is a more season vet than RJ so Jamal Murray and Kyrie Irving even though he’s a recent Champion I’m still going to give it to the veteran Kyrie Devin Booker and Jason Tatum yeah grab your popcorn cuz this would be amazing to watch I’m going to say Devin

Booker just cuz I think he’s a little bit more consistent Terry Rosier versus D’Angelo Russell and if we’re going on consistency I’m going to say scary Terry SGA and CJ McCullum well sorry CJ but sga’s got too many tricks in his bag all right now we got Brandon Ingram and Chad

Homegreen I’d probably say bi with take that over CH wenyama and Damen Lillard this H I don’t know I feel like Dame would just be chucking up deep shots over wemi and I’ve actually been really impressed with watching Damen Lillard’s finishing ability around the rim and I think he would surprise us and

Take this one over Victor despite the height Advantage Victor has Kyrie Irving and Devin Booker I mean couldn’t ask for a better matchup I’m going to say Devin Booker barely because I think he had as a better shooter but again I could be wrong Scary Terry and

SGA well all the Talk’s been about SGA this year so I’m sorry Scary Terry but you’re going home all right we have the semi-finalists Brandon Ingram and Damen Lillard you know what time it is I ain’t got to say much Devin Booker versus SGA man I don’t know I don’t know I’m

Going to give it to the guy with more experience but I feel like this would be a very close matchup and now our finalists Daman Lillard and Devin Booker I’m going with Devin Booker and it’s just off pure gut feeling I know I should have better reasoning than that but how can you

Decide between two stars like this so our winner for the middleweight bracket ends up being Devin Booker again there’s a lot of picks in this one this is probably the hardest one of the three brackets to decide upon so if you guys disagree and maybe you had a different

Champion comment in the comment section let me know all right last but not least we have have the heavyweight bracket starting off with the Orlando Magic matchup of bubo and fron Wagner Wagner I don’t know but I do know that he’s not moving on I’m picking bubo KD versus

KP uh I’m saying the slim Reaper is taking this one Julius Randall and Kawai Leonard as much as I think Julius Randle is a dog I’m going to say Kawai is going to take this Keegan Murray versus LeBron James I feel bad for Keegan Murray uh LeBron’s just

Going to big body him each time lower his shoulder and gets to the rim bam adabo and Paul George I got to go with the man who’s got the Eric abadu song as his theme song Luca Magic versus Giannis I’m going to say Giannis sorry

Luca I mean Luka going home in the first round just doesn’t sound right but when it’s against Giannis it makes sense Alin senon versus Aaron Gordon Gordon’s nice at jumping but I don’t think he has as much as a offensive bag as senon does so James Harden and Joel

Embiid post teammates now turned enemies I’m going to say Joel embiid I mean he wouldn’t be able to do that now with his knee injury but we’re just going to pretend that didn’t happen NOA yic versus Demar D rozan I’m going to surprise people with this

One I think one-on-one it’d be weird to see Nola go to work uh repeatedly I feel like dear’s got more moves I’m again this one might surprise people but me personally I’m going with thear Scotty Barnes versus jiren Jackson Jr mean Scotty Barnes said it best jiren

Jackson Jr you are not him uh I’m going to go with Scotty Barnes I think jiren Jackson Jr is a great player but I think he’s made better by the people around him and when they’re not around him in a one-on-one Scotty’s going to take it Pascal spin move seum versus Jimmy buckets

Butler I’m going to say Jimmy Butler just cuz I know he’s got that competitive spirit him and I can’t imagine him losing in the first round he would not take that he there’s no way he would let that happen Anthony Edwards and Anthony Davis the two ants uh I didn’t even mean

To do this honestly I’m going to say ad and I feel like that’s a pretty easy one again it sucks that a lot of these great guys got to go home but it’s just by the way this bracket works by the weight that they are that they’re going to be

Put into this heavier division again it sucks but that’s the way she goes you shouldn’t weigh that much then if if you don’t want to be in this bracket get your weight down Paulo Bano versus Harrison Barnes no brainer going with banero uh Tobias Harris and

Cat I mean I think Tobias has got a lot of nice moves but not more moves than cat lri Marin and damont sabonis H uh I think sabonis just gets boreds I don’t really think he gets buckets like that so I’m going to say Lori Cade Cunningham and Zion

Williamson Zion’s just going to big body Cade sucks for Kade I think he’s a great player he just needs to get on a better team round two b ball and Kevin Durant the two stick figures having a fight I’m going to say akd uh but I feel like bbo would make it

Close Kawai Leonard and LeBron James Clippers versus Lakers matchup these two have had a rivalry throughout their career I’d say this would definitely be the highlight of the tournament if this happened because I’m a LeBron James fan I’m going to pick LeBron James though Paul George and Giannis Anto DMO

Again I think Giannis is lowering that shoulder and getting through Paul George sangon versus embiid we saw these two face off recently and embiid was giving tips to sangon post game this is a student versus the master and I’m giving it to the master Joel embiid dear D Rosen versus Scotty

Barnes I’m goingon to say Demar de Rosen just because he’s been around the league longer Jimmy Butler and Anthony Davis oh this is a rematch of the bubble right here I’m going to say it’s probably going to end up being a repeat of what what happened in years prior and Anthony

Davil will win this one Paulo versus Carl Anthony towns I don’t think cat’s got that dog in him like he used to I think B Carol’s got something to prove and he’s going to come at him and he’s going to win this one L marinin and Zion

Williamson these are two pretty good big men and I’m going to give this one to Zion because I think he’s just quicker he’ll be able to get by Lori Kevin Durant and LeBron James I’m going to say Kevin Durant on this one and I don’t have a reason why I I

Honestly couldn’t pick between these two Giannis and Joel embiid this would be crazy I feel like Joel’s got more defense and he’s got more kind of mid-range moves that he can pull out against Giannis demard dzan and Anthony Davis as much as I like dear and as far as he’s gotten he’s going

Home Anthony Davis for sure Paulo banero and Zion Williamson this is an interesting one I’m going to go I think with Zion I think he’s a little bit quicker a little bit more athletic and those things are going to help him final four Kevin Durant Joel

Embiid I would say it’d be hard for Durant to stop Joel embiid I know he can block shots but he can’t block enough to stop embiid Anthony Davis and Zion Williamson Anthony Davis used to be a Pelicans player himself this is kind of a fun matchup I feel like ad would take

It and I feel like there is much debate there I feel like it’s a pretty solid choice now our finalists Joel embiid and Anthony Davis this man I would say that I’m going to go with the guy who won MVP recently so I’m saying it’s fraudulent I wouldn’t

Say that much so but I would say this guy’s got the momentum in his favor and I’m going to say Joel embiid is your champion of the heavy bracket now like I’ve said before I could be totally wrong these tournaments could turn out completely different in real life there

Could have been a lot of things that went differently the choices yanis uh yic but that’s kind of the fun of it you get to debate it with your friends so let me know in the comments if you guys thought differently if you had different Champions you disagree or agree with my

Choices I’d love to hear what you guys think as well as what you think about this whole idea of a one-on-one tournament hopefully if this conversation you know gathers enough traction the league will actually start to pay attention to what the fans want and maybe Implement something like this

In the future and and as always if you guys enjoyed this video make sure to like comment and subscribe for future content anyways that’s it for me and I hope you have a good Day
