On today's TrueHoop Podcast episode Jarod Hector and David Thorpe discuss:

  • David's early-season observations are mostly about individual offense. (Team defense might come later?)

  • 29 teams believe they are in the playoff mix right now (sorry, Blazers!) which has coaches engaging in aggresive short-term thinking.

  • Jalen Duren!

  • The NBA's next media rights deal is an opportunity for the league to innovate.

For me, one of the reasons the All-Star game was more entertaining in the Magic/Bird/Jordan era is because this was still a time when 3 pointers, trick passes, and fancy dribbling was frowned upon by coaches. All-Star is where the players would show us all of those things and it was new and fun to watch.

My idea to make it more compelling would be to add 3 WNBA players to each roster. People would soon realize they can absolutely play the game at the same level skills-wise as the NBA.
