With the NBA season on ice, nobody knows what to expect in the weeks and months to come. Wen will the season return? Will the season resume where it stopped, or will the leagued decide to skip straight to the playoffs?
In the wake of all of these questions, Brooklyn’s Spencer Dinwiddie proposed an interesting idea as to how the NBA should proceed going forward.
We could do a 5 game tuneup and just jump straight to a March Madness best of 7 winner take all every team tournament. Not bound by conference but all 1-30 just getting to it Bracket style. Every game would be nationally televised, fans would go crazy (3/4)

Could even Neutral site the play in series (since 30 isn’t an even breakdown) in a football arena like the national championship to try to recoup some revenue 👀 (4/4)

The idea of a 28-team tournament is certainly an interesting one, and it would give all teams the chance to play for the title. It would also shake things up and make things extremely interesting for the fans.
Obviously something like this would be hard to pull off — changes of this magnitude always are. But it’s definitely something the league should consider, given the circumstances and the level of hype this would generate.
And, who knows, if it sticks, they could even make it a permanent staple going forward.
