So is this going to be a rotating court, like a merry go round?

Well I don't know, I already told all the information that I know, and this is likely in the very early stage of planning.

But I can see a rotating court happening if the cost is reasonable. This way will allow fans sitting in all areas of the arena equal opportunity to see each angle of the playing area.

What about ticket prices? You're seeing three teams instead of two so does this mean an increase to $150 instead of a $100 ticket? :o

Alright, I texted and asked my barber whose client's wife is the cousin of the friend of the lawyer of an NBA insider. And he said that this is legit.

By the way I would pay a million billion dollars to watch Jevale McGee play in one of these games.

This would make it easier to have basketball games in large, circular stadiums. Hell, you could have them in soccer stadiums.

If n is the number of courts, then as n goes to infinity the courts become a perfect circle.

You're welcome.

You only get to play to 21
No fouls
***No fouls = no need for flopping *****NBA cures flopping!!!!!!!!!!
No out of bounce
No out of bounce + no fouls = no need for NBA refs or TV reviews = NBA saves money. Brilliant Stern decision FTW! Your welcome he says as he cancels his retirement ceremony!!!
No traveling (not that the NBA calls too many traveling calls anyways)
You make basketball play-offs bigger than NFL play-offs. 1 game and all top 6 seeds play. Take that NFL. Stern screams TAKE THAT NFL as he strokes his long haired white cat that is sitting on his lap from a throne like chair with Adam watching shedding a single tear!?!
Lakers are 22-3 in OT last 6 seasons:Kobe best OT closer!
