Exhibition would be OK.


The NHL has done it for years in regular season games and it's quite spectacular when the snow is falling. It works for NHL because it's a winter sport but obviously if the NBA does it, it'll have to be in a warm climate city.

Hockey is made for it. Wind is not gonna affect a puck.

Could you imagine a real windy day for a NBA game. It would be ugly. It could be interesting a few times, but I don't care for the ideal.

Bruh. If you a real hooper you grew up in the elements.


Yeah plus the 'elements' would be the same for each team so all fair in my book.


Sure, we use to play in any conditions. Shovel snow, in the rain, high winds, whatever.

NBA, can't ever happen. Only a prefect weather day. One drop of rain cancelled, understandably. The logistics of a outdoor game would be near impossible.

Did we ever get an answer to that one?


Millions.

It could hold millions :lol: :lol: :lol:


Someone bumps that post once a year, and I crack up rereading it every single time.


I cracked up just now reading your quote from it.

I mean - they play on an aircraft carrier in San Diego where it can be windy. You're not going to get a controlled environment but I really don't think the wind is going to ruin the game.

Maybe it's time we get used to be uncomfortable? Every other sport is played outdoors with natural elements and it's accepted. Why not for the NBA?
