Idea for NBA All Star weekend

Instead of the dunk contest, which has gone to shite....
16 team bracket, 2 on 2 games. First to 16 wins, you can add the win by two option if you want. The teams are based on where players played college ball. For instance:
UCLA- Love/Westbrook
Texas- Aldridge/Durant
Kentucky- Davis/Wall
etc...
14 colleges, one international team, and one team of players who came straight from high school. Thoughts?

Who plays on the Washington State team?

I like that idea a lot actually, but 16 teams to 16 is a lot of playing. I feel like a lot of players wouldn't participate because of how much time they would spend playing.

It's not a bad idea overall.
I think grouping by school is a bad idea. Mainly because most schools will only have 1 guy.
Washington State, Oklahoma, Davidson, etc

Too big and too many issues making pairings with colleges.
I would rather see a 4 team 3 on 3 tourney and have player captains and a draft similar to the probowl.
Play the semi-finals at the same time on either end of the court before the 3 point shoot out and then the finals immediately after.

Sounds alright, except for the fact that it's basically just a huge advertisement for those select few colleges. Doesn't really seem fair to give some schools a massive recruiting advantage, for no real reason in particular.
Why not do 2 v 2 from their current NBA teams?

16 pts is a lot for something like this

I really like the idea of playing 2s or 3s. Would be super exciting and really personal.

It's definitely an intriguing idea. Although, I think we'd have the same problem as the dunk contest. Stars wouldn't want to play in a game like this...or teams would prevent them from doing so.
Vandy- Jeff Taylor/Festus Ezeli
Not a winner, but it'd be interesting to see Taylor defending some of the best players in the league. Although, a team with an athletic big man would trouble Festus.
