I think the new minimum games played for an award will help keep players on the court. I like this rule.
you can miss 17 games to qualify. thats an lot!
Should be 80 games.
At least 70
@@matthewgilfus164080? So they’re only allowed to miss 2 games? That’s a little much, if you get a bad case of the flu and miss three games you are ineligible.
I don’t think Kwahi will care.
Fun Fact:
Kareem played 20 seasons.
Out of those 20 seasons, he had two seasons that he played 62 and 65 games.
The other 18 seasons he played a minimum of 74 games.
An incredible testament to his durability and longevity. Yoga works, folks!
@@jonathanlee5314 it also goes to show how detrimental the speed of the game is to current players health. they move laterally way quicker and its ruining the ligaments in their legs and feet.
@@dum760this isn't talked about enough. They used to play in CONVERSE back in the day. They were limited to their movements. And they didn't focus on diet and weight room to be the best athlete. Players are running faster and jumping more than ever. More speed + force = worse injuries.
It's really hard, no? It's really a big dilemma. In their pursuit of game advantages in the form of being more quick, agile, and having to work all year long to maintain a game-ready body, their bodies wear out faster
@@justanothercarol The Chucks they played with in the games are not the same Chucks that you can buy in the store now. They were much stronger and more supportive. Your comment is valid though.
I actually like the All NBA and awards rule changes. The league is increasingly more position-less and there needs to be incentive for players to play games. Awards are often incentives and bonuses in contracts so it might behoove some players to suit up. That being said, I think you'll start to see some players speaking out when it's the organization trying to hold them out of games....Something that isn't talked about enough.
I think the in season tournament could be to get people more engaged throughout the year. Less games=more impact for every game and it’ll bring viewers attention back in the middle of the season.
Wish they would add teams outside of the NBA. I think it would be dope to add in the G-League teams with the NBA teams and this is probably out of reach but adding professional Canadian and Mexican teams. Even if we could get some from Europe would be dope.
@@jacobmullison2245their not goody enough sadly
Silver has said that this tournament idea comes from European football. Many of those tournaments get their juice from including lower level teams, which the NBA will not do. Silver should be looking at European football as inspiration for instituting promotion and relegation. I know it would take a miracle to get all sides to agree on such a massive change, but hear me out ...
Silver can split the NBA into two divisions each team would play the other 14 teams 3 times home and 3 times away to make a perfectly balanced 84 game schedule. Promotion and relegation between the two divisions (if arranged carefully) would eliminate tanking, make every game matter to the point that load management would be a trivial issue, and allow an easy path to expansion. Increasing both divisions to 20 teams could easily raise billions for the league without damaging the value of the product
@@zachhocking9053 I like this idea a lot. I think keeping the 30 as is though and just making the G league that 2nd division would be perfect and just make the G league teams their own teams and don’t make them connected with a pro team
@@jacobmullison2245
Yeah, but then you could get weird stuff like the south bay Lakers competing against the real Lakers, I think the G league should stay its own thing. It is also really hard to get a balanced schedule with 30 teams, unless you reduce the season to 58 games.
Crazy how the mid season tournament might cause championship teams to intentionally lose so that they play less games in a season, while non-contending teams might try their hardest to win to prove their skill. That would literally be the worst outcome for every NBA fan.
It’s the money. Their singing the players for so much, at this rate the league gonna have an before season tournament and after season tournaments. Then they had the nerve to talk about shortening to season ?? Hell nah they want these players to play over 100 games tbh
What he said in the video was wrong. Teams won’t play 2 less games they will be scheduled later during the season to get to the 82. The 83 games for the tournament finals teams are true though. I don’t think anyone should stress over 1 extra game, especially if the league is presumably gonna be on the lookout for that kind of behaviour.
they should just do it ez and add relegations like the rest off the world
@@BombaclaetWOWrelegation doesnt work for american sports
@RomanIsRandomthis is such a pathetic way to beg for likes
The 20 minute rule could be very beneficial in terms of load management. If you can get 20 quality minutes where they can still be effective, I call it a win, also In terms of the fans that do come to a game to see a star player and they don’t play, that can all be negated if you know you’re gonna see them play for at least 20 good minutes
Exactly. I'm a mavs fan all but guaranteeing 20 minutes of each Kyrie and Luka is worth it. I imagine they will still regularly sit at least 1 on the second of back to backs but tickets are expensive and I would be furious if I shell out that cash and they both sat on a random saturday game.
Give me 20 good men, and take down Stannis's camp.
If they check for 20 min and do nothing then they'll be hurting their stats and consequently their chances of receiving awards.
So the 20 min rule is good either way.
This idea is good for load management. But it'll hurt the bench players' chances trying to get some shine or those on a 10 day contract, because minutes will be prioritized for the starters. It could even hurt someone's chance of getting the 6th man of year award. There are many other unintended consequences this could cause.

The in-season tournament was supposed to give lower seeds something to play for and give their fans a chance to see them play a few meaningful games. As a lifelong Suns fan, the Bubble Suns run was one of the most entertaining stretches of basketball I've ever seen (even though we all knew it was unlikely they'd get in even if they won every game). It was still something to make the results matter, and that was wonderful for a fanbase that hadn't had a single single playoff game in a decade. I'm really excited for the tournament, but not like this.
What happened to the mid season tournament consisting of all the teams lower on the standings? I feel like that's a much better way to go about it. Cities with poverty franchises get to see their guys play in games that matter, and it won't just be a preview of the playoffs
That sounds pretty cool honestly. Just would have to manage the workload so that it doesn't impact the regular season so much
Cool idea but I wonder if that will only worsen the tanking problem already seen in non contending teams
m
Yeah I like this idea. The group stage could be with the bottom 18 teams (7th - 15th teams, based on standings at the beginning of the tournament), with 6 groups of 3 based on record (7, 8, 9 in a group, 10, 11, 12, in a group, 13, 14, 15 in a group)
They should get some Euro league teams involved. I think it would be something to watch.
I think a in season tournament only for the last ranking teams would be better. Give the low ranking teams a chance to show what they're capable of and gives them a chance to catch some money for their build up
Should be for the teams not in the play offs, maybe the winner gets higher chance for first pick in the draft
@@hoostherecant do teams not in the playoffs because it’s a tournament during the middle of the season and you dont know who is in the playoffs yet
@@r2ross222 i understand that shouldn't be in the middle of the season, but if they must have a tournament i think that would be the best idea
nah we just want competiveness
I would agree but they’re already playing more games as it is due to having a low seed, if the top tier teams don’t play then they’re getting insane rest it isn’t fair yk.
In europe we have the équivalent of the mid season cup for football/soccer. Yes often the favorite team end up winning it but it sometimes allow medium team get a trophy and it's usually well received even tough it is considered less prestigious.
The difference however is that in football there's no mechanism in place to shuffle the levels of the team like in the US (big stay big, small stay small). so for some team the mid season tournament is probably the only title thry could ever get and so it makes it more valuable
Idea: host the NBA playoffs in one spot like they did for the Bubble in 2020.
Make it a whole month long attraction for fans. Build out an ultimate fan experience.
Then the finals can be played in the two teams respective hometowns
players will get in trouble
If you wanna see how a mid season tournament would go and how the normal favourites might not win,look at cup competitions in the English premier League, the big teams typically play a weaker side in the tournaments to focus on the main trophies . It means developing players on teams with superstars will get more game time and smaller teams can have something to look forward to.
The big difference is that the cup matches in the EPL *don't affect the regular season*. Cup matches are cup matches, period, they don't affect the League. That doesn't seem to be the case here. So EPL teams at the top of the league table will rest their star players in cup matches, because the cup matches don't bring as much money as the League. Mid and lower table teams will play harder for the Cup so they can bring some extra cash.
With this, the tournament games still affect the regular season standings, so there's no reason for the better teams to rest their star players.
@@S4L665-OnelessthantheDevil the whole system of professional basketball in the USA is backward compared to soccer in other coutries like the UK
there are no relegations for teams that are crap or promotions for good teams to enter the NBA.
if the local team in my village continued to improve and improve eventually they would be in the top soccer league in the country and be playing soccer in the champions league alongside the best teams in europe. sigh we can dream
@@ibrahim-sj2cr
You’re not understanding that the NBA system prevents smaller market teams from being punished just because they are not a big spender like LA or NY teams.
That’s the soccer system, that’s what it is. You’re getting rewarding for spending more than your opponents by buying their best players and if you don’t have the funds to keep your best players, you’re getting punished by “relegation”.
Do you think that’s fair? If that happens in the NBA, Milwaukee Bucks, Denver Nuggets, and Cleveland Cavaliers will never win a championship. Why? Giannis, Jokic, and Lebron will never play there because rich teams will buy them.
@@robert2690 english premiere league (EPL) and other big soccer leagues have FPP (financial fair play) rules and wage caps for players similar to the NBA and history has shown soccer teams cant buy victory in the same way you cant buy a championship in basketball,, refering to the brooklyn nets
bear in mind the EPL teams get a combined $6b just for broadcasting rights alone and then theres the matches themselves that sell 50,000 tickets per game theres plenty of money for all teams.
the avarage premier league player gets over $3m a year... the avarage NBA player that gets $9m a year, not relevant i just threw that in there
you can‘t compare that at all, though. the carabao and fa cup run through basically the majority of the season and matches are played on specific dates when the league is not on. so, yeah, no, that comparison does not hold up.
I'll be honest : the midseason tournament looks weird, but so did the play-in tournament when it was added, and now I doubt anyone will disagree with it being a fantastic idea.
But the play-in tournament makes sense; it's effectively a wild card round that gives a couple more teams a shot at making the Playoffs. I'm really not following the in-season tournament and this "knockout" round. Teams are playing in elimination games, sure, but... what are they getting eliminated from? The regular season? No, they're just going to play again in a few days, they just don't get a shot at this pool of money. From a fan perspective, who is honestly going to care about that?
Maybe I'm totally failing to see the bigger picture. Right now its purpose just isn't clear to me.
There are plenty of people who think the play in sucks still We've already had instances where a team with 10 more wins than another team is competing in the same play in together. If you that many more games than another team, should you really have to prove more in a play in tournament? Also, with the current format, the 1 and 2 seed have to wait longer than anyone else to find out who they are playing in the first round. We will see more 1 and 2 seeds struggle and go down like we have already seen.
personally not a fan of the play in tournament. only in the event of a tie do i think it a good idea.
I'm surprised people still watch the NBA, that don't live in China.
Who, other than Miami Heat fans, thinks the playin games are a great idea?
The tournament in my opinion makes sense in a different mentality country. In almost every European country, this would be a great opporutnity to bring young players around the age of 16-18, B team players that might have potential, bench warmers etc. and have them compete for something and maybe show their potential in higher stakes settings.
Amazing content and absolutely excellent charts and illustrations to help explain the impacts of each opinion. Dont Stop
I think the in season tournament would be good for teams that don't make a playoff, as those teams don't get to play many games anyways, plus for people who still follow those teams it will still stay interesting, and they will have a shot to win something.

@@StinraePatrickPible i like his work. I dont meat ride anyone but God for he is our savior.
Having the All-Defensive teams being positionless is actually such a terrible idea.
It's most likely to be full of bigs and no guards like Jrue Holiday and Derrick White will truly get the respect they deserve.
Keep the same energy. A good player deserves the All nba spot regardless of position. That's the same for Defensive players, they should be recognized despite their position.
It is what it is. Defense isn't about being a big man, it's about fast reflexes and adaptability
if the guards arent better defenders than the bigs then they dont deserve it
So sad that AD has health issues that will keep him from getting his respects for being the best defender in the league
It is what it is. No guard has ever deserved DPOY outside of Jordan and Payton.
I think the in season tournament will have more high stakes games and in general will be more exciting than regular season games, but you had a good point big teams won’t care as much for it
love all your videos bro keep doin you
I had no idea about the All-NBA position less thing. Absolutely love that, I love the image of 5 big men on the First Team
nah but the whole point of being in the all nba team is you are one of the best AT YOUR POSITION. Rudy gobert, i guess was the 3rd best center more often than vince carter was the 3rd best sg. That's how the teams work. If you're gonna make it positionless, make it the All-NBA rankings.
@@rlptp Agreed. They should just put more emphasis on how high players finish in MVP voting than they do in all-NBA teams. However, there's always controversy over the voting, anyway...
It's a popularity contest now just with 10% higher eligibility requirements. 1st team 3 shooters + Giannis and Jokic. Maybe Curry, Luka, Tatum Giannis and Jokic.
Just say you're a casual
@@rlptpYou're totally missing the point. Positions are a near useless distinction in the NBA at this point. Holding to the archaic practice of having a strict position requirement when the game isn't even looked at or played that way anymore is silly.

1. The minimum games requirements will be good for the fans in general. We get to see our favourite players play more. 2. I never really cared about All NBA, to me, being an All Star selection is what acknowledge your season success AND you get to display your skills in a star studded game. 3. I think the reason for the new tournament is to keep the regular season more interesting, look at this year. Heat got in the playin, and became the 2nd 8th seed to make the finals. Lakers also went to the Conference Finals as a 7th seed. It just gives more meaning to play during the regular season.
It might be your opinion that All-Star is more important than All-NBA, but i promise you, throughout the community, NBA, shoot even the world, All-NBA is considered the more important and prestigious award by far. All-NBA is voted on by journalists, coaches, players, etc. the All-Star game is literally a fan vote and doesn’t mean much legacy wise to anyone anymore.
@@B4nkShoTziNcYeah all-NBA is significantly more important, and it’s a full season accolade not a midseason one like all-star. Lots of players in the NBA and MLB have great first half’s then fade, but for that season they’re an all star no matter how bad they fell off afterward. All-NBA means so much more.
@@B4nkShoTziNc I respect what you're saying, but the All Stars voting format has been changed since 7 years ago. Its now 50% fans, 25% media and 25% players. It's just much more special to wear an unique uniform and display your skills in front of the world. Besides, you can still have unfair votes for All NBA due to favouritism. I know they are changing the rules next year, but in the past players like last season for example, Jokic got snubbed from the All NBA First Team.
@@lorddevil863no one watches the all star game
Many contracts have all-NBA stipulations, so it matters to the players
Ive been around football (soccer) for years too so an in-season tournament sounds really cool. In the English football system for example you have the FA Cup and League cup and top teams still try and compete for these. It can be succesful if the players and teams embrace it. You can get some brilliant cup rivalries built up and also you get lower ranked teams sometimes making a shock win - i think it can add more intrigue into the nba
Wish they would add teams outside of the NBA. I think it would be dope to add in the G-League teams with the NBA teams and this is probably out of reach but adding professional Canadian and Mexican teams. Even if we could get some from Europe would be dope.
the difference is that in-season tournaments for soccer feature teams that you don't typically see. Also, it's another proxy for a championship since soccer leagues typically don't have a championship tourney. The NBA playoffs are a championship tourney so an in-season tournament featuring the same NBA teams will have difficulty building any prestige since there is a bigger prize featuring the exact same teams (i.e. the championship). The in-season tournament would need to include the G-league or foreign teams to really make it interesting.
Im not too sure about the All NBA and the season structure changes but I do like the push to keep the players on the floor. I never saw so many players on the bench back in the 80's like I see now so this will be a good change if it works. Players sit games for the littlest injuries while I have to go to work no matter what.
The all NBA teams being position-less is a bad idea bc there's still obvious positions. And everything can't be like the 80s, 90s etc. Sitting just to sit is lame but if they're hurt & not cleared what can they do? They don't use opioids, injections, nerve blockers etc like they did in past eras for good reason. There is a reason players like Shaq &, Chuck can barely walk sometimes even after their hip replacements.
As a European, I gotta say in-season tournaments are a blast! Three action-packed days with knockout rounds, featuring the best teams battling it out for the title. Live attendance is a blast, with fans from different teams coming together in the same city for a weekend basketball party. However, the NBA missed the mark this time, especially with the format. These tournaments are highly regarded here, but in the US... well, they didn't exist before, so building that respect might be a challenge. And speaking of games, teams like Real Madrid, Baskonia, or Barcelona don't skip the cup to focus on other competitions, even with a schedule that can easily exceed 100 games per season (National League, Euroleague, and the Cup). Respect is the key to success for this tournament, and I'd love to see it work in the NBA. But how?
Yeah it will take a while for the NBA to warm up to it, the first year we will probably get a really random team winning... but with time it will be a battle 😂
I have mixed feelings about the format but I think one thing we can count on: people like to win things. You can bet that people will compete.
Bruh , the amount of effort and data you put into your videos is remarkable !
its like you have a full espn analyst team at your disposal but you dont !
kudos man !
The amount of in-depth research, back to these early NBA days, jimmy does is crazy
JXMY You Are Killing It
I like the new changes to a point, so big unknown until we see how the players treat the tournament, the rest of it is positive for sure. I want to see changes to All Star, similar changes to selection as all NBA and then make East v West mean something, make it for Finals Home Court, once you get to one team from each conference, record shouldn't matter because you don't play the same teams the same number of times, this would make the game worth fighting for as the All Star players are usually made of contending teams players and they will want that advantage, they might actually play hard again!
The mid-season tournament could be interesting for the trade deadline. It could build star role players like we see every post season with the benefit of other teams looking for match ups.
But how will this effect Lebron's legacy?
😂
how will this affect yo mamas legacy
no more mvp's

King James legacy already solidified.
Killed it my boy!
Another banger of a video by one of the best. 💪🏼
His videos are so well made I understand everting his says it’s not just a bunch of trash
He’s always been top notch 👌🏽
I honestly thought the mid season tournament would mean less games played, kinda like the All-Star Game where they get a small break aaaand I thought the price would be more interesting. Imagine having increased odds in the lotery or having a different salary cap than the rest of the league for winning, or even maybe being able to do 1 trade even after trade deadline with whatever team you want, or having homecort advantage despite being a lowe seed, something crazy man, not money. But welp, guess it'll be funny
I'm with you. Either reward the team that wins the in game tournament with what you stated or the winning team gets an additional second round pick after the main draft is complete or luxury tax forgiveness or something. Money's not going to be a motivator for these guys.
Ya the bye is too much, but automatic homecourt is a dope incentive, so is increased lottery odds. I think making it conditional (i.e. if make the playoffs, then homecourt; if miss the playoffs, lottery odds) would incentivize all teams to compete. Plus the added dynamic of low-seeded teams gameplanning ahead of time to face their conference matchups and not tanking so hard that they have no shot while giving fringe teams the opportunity to land a franchise piece. All very very tantalizing.
The in-season tournament is like football with the FA Cup for the English league and the Copa del Rey for Spain
If you look at the football perspective, in this tournament season (Cup) usually the football teams play the players of the "2nd squad" or academy players of the club.
Then back to the NBA perspective, this tournament is used by teams in the NBA can make this tournament a place to play their two-ways and rookie players to play other than the Summer League, can also be a coach evaluation so that their two-way player or rookie may get minutes in the regular season or even playoffs
In australia, rugby has a state of origin tournament, something similar to that could be a cool way to shuffle players and make the midseason tournament more interesting
This tournament could be really good for the game. I've always found it cool that in pro soccer, they have tournaments throughout the season. It offers more chances for all the teams to win something and there is more games to pay attention to. However, this only works because those tournaments have a lot of history to them and the players and organization genially cares about winning them. If players take this tournament seriously, it might actually become something that fans look forward too and care about. Personally I wish they did it March Madness style to allow for more upsets and chaos but if they're worried about teams complaining about extra games that won't happen.
The mid season tournament looks similar to how football(soccer) does it. But the difference is those trophies do have a prestige and history so fans care about them. So it will def take time for fans to get used to it. And for the question of how will smaller teams have a chance if they dont already have a chance in the regular season, well in football since there are multiple mid season tournaments, teams have a tier of squad for each tournaments depending on the prestige of the trophy because they wanna rest their player and divide playing minutes. So you could see a really good team field a b tier squad for a game but a smaller team that wont normally have a chance against them will have their normal line up. So now they have a good chance of beating them. And in football there have been really cool stories of even lower league teams having a dream run because of how the system is laid out.
No it isnt its just stupidity
Let's be honest everyone just wants to see their favorite players play this isn't fiba lol
Maybe the in season tournament is for player rotation? Giving chance to bench warmers, like when football clubs rotate players between league matches, champions league, and domestic cups
Great informative content bro
I think the in-season tournament is a good idea. It's similar to what they do in soccer (football) in the premier league with the FA cup. it doesn't count towards the regular season but its another trophy/competition that helps prove who the best team and players are. Plus it will be entertaining to have something other than just the NBA finals
That shit is going to be stupid. No one's going to give a damn.
see you get it. plus it revies poverty clubs for silverware other then the nba finals
It's not really all that similar though? The main draw of competitions like the FA cup is the fact that teams from lower divisions get a unique chance to play against teams from the Prem, sometimes even causing exciting upsets (although those don't really happen all that often anymore). For the NBA, it would only be similar if it was a cup involving the g-league as well, for example. If the FA cup was a mid season cup involving JUST premier league teams, no one would give a fuck, UNLESS it awarded champions league/europa league spots.

This in season tournament. Is exactly like in football in England. With the FA cup and Caraboa Cup it’s included in the season and allows all teams across the English football pyramid to have a shot at reaching the final or the latter stages for money. It also allows for a fairytale storyline along the way. Might be a good thing for the NBA. Also brings in more mid season management for bigger teams who are going for the Chip to have to manage to get to that final.
I like all 3 changes you mentioned, lets revisit in a year to see how it went

I was into the mid season tournament idea and thought it could be fun to see play out, but jimmy you definitely convinced me otherwise. Feels like it’ll do more harm than good
I reckon it'll help players, major sports like soccer do it and it gives players more chances to showcase abilities other than regular finals. It also makes it easier to determine the best players before MVP voting.
lol what a sheep . u cant think woth urself
The more ball the better. Spread the ball around the globe. Feel the LUV
When I see Jxmy post a video I drop everything and watch
One other thing to consider that you didn’t discuss was the additional apron to the luxury tax. That’s going to make it extremely hard for teams to have more than 2 max contracts on their books going forward.
"Hard" all they gotta do is write a check for a couple hundred milly it's nothing for them they just take our money like kids at the candy store
@@vaporyphoenixgaming_5060 Once a team hits the second apron, it is effectively hard capped, and can't write a check for a couple hundred milly.
@@robertoreilly6660 And they won’t be able to sign players who’s contracts have been bought out.
It would be cool if they somehow change the structure of the in-season tournament, so that the teams that aren't contenders but are going to make the play in and/or playoffs to compete. This would make the most sense because they wouldn't be favored to win a championship, but are going to tank to get a good pick. Idk how they would do that though.
best way is just for the first pick but idk ab that
FINALLY A JXMY VIDEO
I would have a NBA midseason tournament that teams represent their current young bench players + consistent g league performers to change up the line up & shows who has a better system basically. this can increase confidence of players & eventually getting a call up/contracts for players, increasing the talent pool
Two rules I would like to add are the winning conference from the all star game gets to have home court advantage in the finals. Another one deals with tanking. The team with the worst record automatically gets the fifth pick. This would incentivize not being the worst.
But what if your truly the worst team in the nba
The first one they already do it in the MLB, which is a good idea anyway. The 2nd one, they should have it like NHL hockey, a lottery where the worst teams have a slightly higher percentage to get the first pick, but it usually isn`t higher than a 20% chance.
Love the change that the NBA made to the minimum amount of games a player can play in order to win awards. Great move. I also like the positionless change on All NBA Teams. Now some of the best players can have a shot at All NBA.
I’m curious is they will protest 65 games. Draymond (of all people) say it’s too high and that only bums are going to get awards. I think he is overreacting.
The games-played requirements for All-NBA and awards are great not only because they incentivize players to, well, play more, but accolades like All-NBA and MVP are tied to contract extensions (as we saw with Jaylen Brown this season). I'm confident players would rethink resting a game or two here and there if it means a significantly less extension they can cash in on in the offseason.
Mid Season Tournament should be an All-Star Weekend event. Guard - Wing - Big line-ups and play threes to 21 full court. Winner donates 500k to a charity of the winning teams choosing. Lots of people have been calling for a 1v1 tournament in asw for awhile now.
I’m actually pumped for the tournament. Gives more incentive to pay and more incentive to watch even
W jimmy for uploading while free agency going on

I can resume it in one word, "insentives" for the mid season wich are perfect for both fans and players aside...

My take on the in-season tournament: it happens pretty much everywhere else in the world. In most places, it has a long and prestigious history. fans and teams definitely do care about it. For the smaller teams, it's a great opportunity to run for something other than the championship, and even teams from lower leagues play on them so a great Cinderella story is always a possibility. For the elite teams, it's another stamp of their power. Also, because of the single-elimination nature of it, every game is very high stakes, and sometimes it feels more intense than a championship final series game. In some places, it even used as a qualifier for international tournaments, raising the stakes even higher. All in all, super fun and intense to watch, and i hope the NBA will know to take these factors from it. The problem is, the NBA being the no relegation, no international, no soul league it is kinda limiting some of these factors.
the difference is that in soccer where this whole mid season tournament idea started it has no affiliation with the official league standings, and it gets involved every single team from the top division to the lowest division in the country.
@@leond.2147 exactly, it makes much more sense in normal countries where you have multiple leagues. Would be cool to see a cross-continental tournament, with European teams participating.
@@jewing464yeah like a club World Cup but for basketball
For the mid season tournament one plus I could think of is teams that are looking like contenders but almost at the end of the season injuries happens maybe the tournament we could see a version of them playing meaningful games before injury but it’s an if
I always thought it would be cool to instead of the lottery, have tournament style games which you farther you advanced the higher your draft pick would be.
yo bro if you see this I want to thank you for making the content you do. You really inspired me and I started my own channel recently making videos somewhat similar to yours. Continue doing what your doing man (you were gonna do this regardless 😂) but it really inspires many if you didn’t already know. Much love.
Like people have said: the game would be nothing without the fans. Imagine going to see Jordan back in the day and he ended up sitting out most of the game. Or Kobe or Bird and so on. Yes we want these players to be healthy and able to play as long as possible but it's gotta be good for the fans as well, this is why the hack a Shaq rule was added, and 3 point line and shot clock, etc. etc.
The new in season tournament sounds dope!
a way to fix tanking could be to make the tournament between all the teams that missed the playoffs and playing losers and the winner gets the first pick of the next draft, the second gets the second pick so on and so forth and maybe give them a secure spot for the playoffs or paying the next season
The introduction of the Midseason Tournament is going to be a big change, but it will also give the players an opportunity to showcase their skills and compete for a trophy. And for fans, it's another chance to see great basketball being played. I'm looking forward to seeing what the other changes are too, and how they will impact the game. I would love to see more focus on developing young players and giving them opportunities to grow in the NBA. There is such a wide pool of talent in the world, and the more we can do to help young players develop and showcase their talents, the better the game will be.
See I don't think stars or even young guys will play in these games. I think fans will get robbed of good basketball in this mid-season tournament because starters on contending teams aren't going to play out of fear of injury. Even teams that seem more play-in bound might not want to play their best players bc why hurt their chances of sneaking into the playoffs(like the heat did this year).
Overall I like the changes but mostly, I like that they are making changes. The NBA has been stagnant for too long. It's nice to see something different even if it ends up needing to be reworked or removed. As long as they keep trying new things then I'll keep watching to see how it all shakes out. I love the play-in and I think the mid-season tourney will at least be a change of pace. It'll be nice to track teams progress and see just how much $500k can motivate players.
For players making only a few million a year 500k is a big chunk of change. For that reason I can see veterans and younger players trying extra hard. I think the motivation will be there which should make for some exciting games.
The mid season tournament for me is similar to tournaments in the Premier league like the FA cup, Carabao cup or community shield, it’s a great idea, I only wish that the finals was best of 3
Hey jim, since summer league is here, could you make a video on which teams in the past had the worst summer league record but had a winning record in the regular season let alone went deep in the playoffs? And vice versa.
Thnx bruh.
I love you jimmy
Yes
I swear this man makes some of the best videos on CZcams. Every single video has kept my interest from start to finish, even tho I gave up on the NBA a few years ago. Too many "super teams", the unchecked ego's and the ridiculous amount of money these young men make enrages me. It's the same with all sports, music, TV/movie stars, etc... The most important thing in my life are my kids and not 1 of the thousands and thousands of those people has ever done a damn thing for my kids!!! So why do they deserve all the money, the fame or the respect they get? Because they play a game at the highest level? This world need some major changes now or the world we leave to our children will be terrible. Sorry but it's just my opinion and my opinion doesn't matter at all.
I think the in season tournament COULD work out well but there definitely needs to be a better prize for the winner. Idk what it would be but I doubt that many players would care for just the money (i.e. look at the All Star game as an example)
A buy round in the end of season tourney. Short of that no one would care
I think the mid-season tournament, could be great, if teams are invited from Europe to compete in a knockout round.
U definitely should play more than 65 games in order to win award 🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️
Would be amazing to see the nba add in relegation, where bottom three teams move down to the g-league and the top three teams in g-league move up to the nba. Could help with teams tanking for picks and give the guys who are grinding in the g-league a chance to move up. Finally, also gets the owners more incentive to be invested in their teams.
I doubt that this would ever happen. The owners would oppose it on economic grounds. A great many of the teams probably have large mortgages on their buildings and being dumped down to the G league would severely hurt their bottom lines and ability to pay off those mortgages. Long term it might also hurt the ability of teams to get mortgages for new buildings as banks might see the relegation as destabilizing.
For those into sports betting: The new CBA requires players to play 65 game minimum to meet criteria for awards, however a “game played” is only counted toward award eligibility if a player is checked in for at least 20 minutes. Sportsbooks may catch onto this eventually, but I can totally see players who’re in contention for awards (primarily on teams that’ve already clinched a playoff spot) playing the bare minimum of 20 minutes and then checking out for the sole reason of maintaining their eligibility for accolades such as MVP, DPOY, All NBA/defensive teams, etc. In other words, betting on the under for these players late in the season will be an automatic lock if books don’t account for this tiny stipulation in the new CBA. Don't tell the books!
As a Serb, I appreciate how perfect you pronounce our name's... Great video, Great channel. Thanks 😊
This is off-season will get crazier

For the in season tournament I see it as a U.S Open Cup (Soccer) or FA Cup, where teams don't necessarily use their best players and allow younger players to lead the team. As they advance more star players will participate and make the finals a bit more exciting. I would like for them to maybe have it like the FA Cup where the G-League and NBA teams compete where there's a chance a G-League team pulls an upset on an NBA team's 2nd string players.
Really dumb idea to add G League teams. The tournament games also count toward regular seasons records
I'd like to see the play in have a guarantee of a top 5 draft slot or something and wild cards be the teams with the 2 highest draft picks the year before that don't qualify on merit. Make it more about young teams being put on display
The in season tournament could be good tho. Seems as if they pushing for the stars to be playing and not resting. Therefor maybe teams will be trying harder and if that’s the case it’ll give the contenders a good idea of how post season gonna go, and it’ll give the not so good teams an idea of what needs to change to be contenders
The mid-season tournament sounds a little like the FA Cup or Carabou Cup in English Football. The difference is that the lower tiered teams also play in the tournament and have a chance (albeit slim) to win. Think of a tournament with G-League teams thrown in the mix.
I think the in-season tournament will encourage the stronger teams to be better earlier in the season.
Didn’t the standings from the start of the season look really different from the standings later in the season this year? Sometimes it seems like teams take a while to ‘wear in’ to the season.
I'm with the in-season tournament, it doesn't look like it impacts the season in a negative way since it's built into the schedule, it's just gonna make games earlier in the season more important for the viewer. Plus just cause a team is projected to be in the mix at the end of the year it doesn't mean they will have it together early in the season coming off the offseason so I think it'll give other teams that haven't made the playoffs in forever something to play for that could possibly give them some playoff-type experience.
My two suggestions get rid of 2 problems.
How do you get rid of teams tanking? This one takes a TON of thinking outside the box. We use this in my fantasy league and really changed the guys tanking. It also made games at the end of the year between teams near the bottom important.
Instead of giving the first pick in the following draft, we give it to the team that was 7th (6 teams make the playoffs and we are a 12 team league). Second pick goes to the team that was 8th and so on up to 12, then the 6th place team drafts, then the 5th and 4th and so on. What this does was made everyone compete. There was no plus to finishing last. How would this translate in the NBA? You would not see teams putting out G league guys with a month to go. Fans deserve better. Guys on bad teams would be playing hard to get that first pick next year. A game between a 12th and 13th place team in front of 8000 people would not happen if the winner could move up a couple of places and get the second pick next year. Take a look at how bad San Antonio had to be last year. Fans deserve better than that.
The second is how to prevent load management. Easy, if a player takes a game off for load management on the road, they HAVE to take the next home game off as well. Want to rip off the fans in places like Charlotte or Orlando and not play any stars? No problem, but your home fans are going to get burned too. If they want to do load management, do it in front of home fans and suffer no penalty. Nothing worse than a father paying premium money in Charlotte for his kid to see Lebron but he is in a suit at the end of the bench. Take that load management stuff off at home. Hurt your own fans. Hurt the ones paying your own bills.
soccer makes it work with multiple leagues and tournaments crossing over through the seasons. As basketball go more and more global this makes sense to me to kick off now and will make it easier to have "nations" and "champions league" tournaments across the game as a whole.
i think the in season tournament could spark more rivalries and competition between teams and players, the one thing the nba is missing is rivalries
in season tournament should be just before playoffs and only include the teams up for a lottery draft pick. Winner of the tourney gets first overall pick.
The purpose of the in-season tournament seems to be to give the early season more meaning. Unlike cup competitions in Europe where it’s a separate competition from the season, the NBA wants to treat the tournament games like it’s part of the regular season tally. Could be interesting
