The Phoenix Suns have an outdoor game in the works as an exhibition game next season. Do you think this is a good idea?
“I would absolutely watch it even if it is only an exhibition game. It would be interesting to see if the players forget it’s an NBA game and start playing ‘street’ ball. With Steve Nash passing the ball to Shawn Marion it would be entertaining.”

“It sounds like a cool idea but there are a few issues to take a look at. How is someone going to take a charge? If it’s on blacktop pavement, it isn’t going to happen. I think they should have the chain link nets though. That would be pretty realistic. They could play it in Rucker Park in New York City.”

“Yeah, mix it up a little bit. If the NFL can play overseas, why not bring the NBA outdoors. With the right setup and advertisement I think more teams will catch on.”
