RE: Three Changes that Need to be Made to the NBA Draft
#1 is a great point that I'm surprised I've never heard before. #2... I don't buy. Monetary incentive is just not that much, relative to the salaries and endorsement deals.
And per your point in #2, relative to the all-star game, I don't think the money had anything to do with the recent game being better than the last 10 years (or more) combined. I think the players all agreed, in a gentlemanly fashion, to care about it more -- probably for bragging rights.
As for #3, I get the feeling you, @brandonp, don't even buy that that's going to happen.
All in all, fun post that got me engaged. Good stuff!
Thanks @penningtonlens! I disagree with you about the All-Star game though. Sure, the money probably wasn't the only driving factor in the higher level of play than previous games, but players have always had bragging rights on the line and that never changed the competitiveness of the game in previous years.
