Bill Simmons was talking about how cool it would be if they introduced a Royal Rumble element to the All Star game.

I think he's right that it would be more fun to not know who's participating until they run out onto the court and that it could potentially be former players.

Former players would probably get their asses kicked. But random teams could be fun. Only disadvantage is the randomness could lead to imbalanced teams. Too big, too small, too talented, etc.

They might get their asses kicked but how cool would it be to see Larry Legend come jogging out to take part in the 3-point contest? Or, Vinsanity start warming up for the dunk contest?

reply

True. That would be insane! Vince was still windmill dunking several years ago at 40. With enough stretching, he might still be able to show off some nice dunks.

"What's this? Dirk is heading to the scorers' table to check in!"

And he sustains another knee injury on the first play.

reply

Yeah, but we’d all be pumped.

reply

Hella pumped!

I wanna see retired legends vs draft prospects
