    Yeah but you know what else kills interest? When you play people who are CLEARLY in your group multiple times and none of those count but then play a tournament game 2 weeks from the last and it doesn’t count for shit because you lost 2 games a month ago and are out either way now.

    Either expand the number of teams so each group can play more teams or make it so EVERY Tues/Fri all 30 teams play (so 8 games) we’re not having a random ass 2 week lull after playing the initial 2 games - literally no excuse to play teams in your group and have them not count.

    I also never said condensing it to 2 weeks. If they are adamant about making this a November thing, every game in the month should be tournament games with the next stages trickling and ending on the 2nd week of Dec so they can roll the momentum into Christmas

    The biggest problem imo is the inconsistent scheduling. OKC literally went over a week of playing ball - twice against the Warriors who are in their group by the way and neither of those were tournament games.

    I think if they just did games over x stretch of time, that would be way easier to follow vs playing for a week, maybe longer of regular games then having a tournament game randomly occur.

    Likely nobody but Luka is the likely front runner if I had to pick.

    I do think there are only 2 current players that could’ve done it in their primes tho - Westbrook and Harden.

    Westbrook in 16-17 (MVP year) had bad enough teammates that he could’ve shot like 30+ times (had 24 FGA per game) a game and nobody would be mad. Also had the highest usage rate in NBA history that season and only played 34.6 MPG. Three more 2 point field goals, two more 3s, 6 more FTs or any combo of each per game would’ve been feasible if he sacrificed assists. If he played 38-40 min and attempted like 5-6 more shots, would have been doable.

    Harden in 16-17 (year before MVP) also dominated the ball to historic levels and averaged 32 on only 19 FGA in 36.4 MPG. If he also played 38-40 and attempted like 25 shots, very well could’ve done it.
