    Besides the standard full court 5 on 5, half court 3 on 3 has already got some popularity. What other types of basketball would be fun to have as an official sport? I am talking about seasons, tournaments, Olympics, on TV, stats, HOF and stuff.

    1 vs 1
    2 vs 2

    It is cool because you do not have the house hold names playing.

    There should be a dodgeball game with a basketball.

    I think for 1v1s it should defitenly be Sapa rated by height classes.

    Which 1v1 2v2 matches would you like to see?

    LeBron vs Durant
    Curry vs Kyrie
    Sengun vs Theis
    Curry Curry vs Ball Ball

    Pretty sure I can, but let me check with them first, writing up some tweets right now.

    A serious sport needs star players in their primes, I don't want the games all be like this you know.

    In their normal uniforms off course ;)
