Apparently they are unlikely to get approved as other teams won’t vote for them.

ESPN:
quote:



Some of the scenarios discussed, sources told ESPN, include:

The higher-seeded team being awarded the first possession of the second, third and fourth quarters, following the traditional jump ball to begin the game

The higher-seeded team being allowed to designate one player to be able to be whistled for seven fouls instead of six before fouling out

The higher-seeded team receiving an extra coach's challenge

The higher-seeded teams being able to transport their actual hardwood home court from their home arenas to Orlando to try to preserve the feel of their home playing experience

An off-court feature in which playoff teams, in order of seeding 1-16, receive first dibs on picking which hotel they will stay at in the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex and Disney World Resort

I think the idea of letting them pick their hotel is a good one. None of this extra stuff during the game though.

Y'all it's a damn game. Just play and let us all enjoy it. They act like they're dissolving the Soviet Union.

Would be interesting at least to see a time lapse of one court in Orlando throughout the day

How many courts do they have at that facility?

Some others that were rejected:

The higher-seeded team simply being award the game.

The lower-seeded team having to play in street clothes and slippers.

The Lakers being crown the champions without playing any games at all.

The following people are to be released from their captors: In Northern Ireland, the seven members of the New Provo Front. In Canada, the five imprisoned leaders of Liberte de Quebec. In Sri Lanka, the nine members of the Asian Dawn Movement...

I think 6

Then you’ve got the magic’s court and facility plus UCF but I don’t think they’ll use those

Simmons brought up the idea on his podcast of letting the top seeds pick who they play in the first round. I'd be all in for that.

Read about them in Time magazine. I was in the doctor's office waiting. It was an old issue.

I have always wondered this. Is winning the jump ball in any way meaningful? You only get the ball 2/4 of the quarters anyway. Who really cares?

Would getting it to start 3 or quarters really give you more than maybe 1 more possession the entire game?

There is a Lakers-Kings or Heat-Mavs joke to be made here somewhere.
