Revolutionizing Basketball: Unconventional Formats Explode in Commissioner’s Quixotic Quest

NBA Commissioner Adam Silver has floated some drastic ideas for altering the game’s format. In a recent conversation with Patrick (presumably Patrick Beverley), Silver mentioned his support for adjusting the game length to four, 10-minute quarters.

According to the transcript of their discussion, it appears that Silver is open to exploring alternative formats for the NBA games. He acknowledged that this change would require significant adjustments and discussions among players, coaches, and fans.

Silver noted that many other professional leagues around the world have adopted different game formats. For instance, Olympic basketball games last 40 minutes, while college basketball matches in the US are divided into two 20-minute halves.

The commissioner also mentioned a potential advantage of reducing game length: it could help combat the issue of “load management.” He suggested that shaving off just two minutes from each quarter could have an equivalent effect to removing up to 15 games from the regular season.

While Silver emphasized that these ideas were still in their early stages, he indicated his willingness to explore innovative solutions for the game.
