NBA's newest competition: 1 on 1

I’m sure we all know about the NFL lockout and how there may not be football come September. This is due to the fact that players and owners can’t agree to a new collective bargaining agreement (CBA), which expired on March 3.

What you may not know is that the NBA’s current CBA expires June 30. If owners and players can’t come to an agreement, there won’t be basketball in November. If and when the NBA gets an agreement in place, they should create a new All-Star Weekend competition.

They should have a 1-on-1 competition where the best players play against each other. For example, Derrick Rose vs. Dwayne Wade, Carmelo Anthony vs. LeBron James, Amare Stoudemire vs. Chris Bosh, etc.

This would be very interesting and prove who the best player in the NBA really is. As of right now, everybody merely looks at stats, or win-loss records rather than trying top figure out who the best player is.

The only way to truly learn the NBA’s top player is make them play each other, 1 on 1. The player’s might not care who the best player is, but fans definitely want to know. Many people, including myself, would watch this.
