This is the court that holds a 5v5v5v5v5v5v5v5v5v5v5v5v5v5v5v5v5v5v5v5v5v5v5v5 game. (24 teams)

Millions and billions of people get to watch because it's outdoors too!

This is obviously a horrible idea, but the hypothetical idea of it is interesting to me just because of all the game theory that would be involved.

One important point I have to add is this will not happening any time soon. It will take many years to retrofit all arenas to fit the new specifications. Most likely will be big project of future NBA commissioner Adam Silver

The new court specifications will however increase seating capacity by 50%, generating more revenue for NBA

I don't know about you guys but I can't wait to see the tremendous exhibition of 5 offensive players being guarded by 10 defensive players!

This one works. All you need is a large paved area.

oh my god. i am in tears. this is the funniest thread i have read in a long time. I swear to god i havent laughed this hard for a LOOONG time.. i feel ... healthier. i feel better about myself! its amazing.

Thank you OP

more exclusive news :

pets like cats and dogs will play also as part of 5v5v5v5v5v5 they will have two teams because of their height disadvantage. millions and billions of people will watch live! 10 billions! because it is outside! maybe even trillions. nba commissioner adam silver will be re-barmitzva'd at every season opener. but it wont happen soon guys, it will take some time to develop and sort out the legal aspects. new arenas should be built for sure.

I think it's pretty obvious the OP is messing around, but it looks like 1 or 2 people after him thought it was real.

I heard that movie star wars, you know the documentary about space was most likely fake as well.
