The DU Lounge
Related: Culture Forums, Support ForumsNot many sports fans on DU but I have a great idea for Lebron and other NBA players.. With no
sports being played and people jonesing for distraction, I would like to see them play a one on one "horse" tournement between players. Most NBA players have a court at home or nearby. They can stream it split screen (much like that L.A. children''s choir did about a week ago, if you know what I am talking about). It would be so easy to do and they could play for charity.

(5,865 posts)would be on the same court. But due to the corona pandemic, the game would be modified -- each be on a different court anywhere in the world actually -- all courts are basically the same. It would defiintely satisfy the appetite of basketball fans. ANd there wold be plenty of opportunities to keep young people informed on how to be responsibile during this pandemic.

(50,559 posts)As the OP said, these guys either have a court of their own at their house, or they live close to one. Theyd need a video camera rigged for online streaming, a big-screen TV and a basketball. The streams would go to a control center at one of the sports networks, who would create a usable product out of it.
Now, this could be fun...six-player horse: one male and one female player from the pro, college and high school games.
And for extra entertainment, players who lived in cities with great skylines could set up their hoops on building roofs.
