You would have 12 Allstars from each conference making 8 teams of 3...
Maybe the first round the games go to 11 second round to 16 and finals to 21... All games win by two!!!

I like Zulu's idea, I'd watch a 3 on 3 tourny like that

I originally thought of a 3 on 3 tournament, but ultimately decided that it would be too difficult to get the teams matched up fairly. I really like how Zulu broke it up into Bigs, Wings and Guards. I'd rather just get the top players in the NBA regardless of conference. Keep the Hall-of-Fame player/coach/mentor idea and let them pick their teams.
If they did this, I think that they should do it with the idea of expanding it to 4-on-4 and 5-on-5 by stealing a player from the losing side each time like I suggested earlier.
I do like the play to 21 and make-it-take-it street rules to make things interesting. I think there's a lot of potential with those ideas.

I said 30 team tournament. not 30 player tournament.

30 teams is too many players. It still needs to be All Star quality. Max I'd go is about 40-48 players. 16 three player teams for a 3-on-3 tournament is even stretching it.

I gotta be honest. I don't see how it is such a bad idea. To say you don't like it is one thing, but to say its the worst idea ever is crazy.
According to Collin Cowherd, We watch sports because we want to see drama. Do you really think there would not be drama in a single elimination Tournament? There would be a ton of drama. The tourney would just need to have enough incentive for the players to care. I think it would be possible to do that. And winning it would be something the players would care about. they want to win. they'd gain pride.
Ultimately, it's potentially a good idea. To say it is a terrible idea does not make sense. How is it a terrible idea. And Thee Jazz Fan, if you are going to argue the point of it being a terrible idea, please opt to employ logic over emotion.

But my question is why is it such a bad idea? I don't understand. Maybe i'm not smart enough to understand. Persuade me to believe you.

The idea of the All Star game and events is still good. If you want a tournament, only have the top players participate. That way it doesn't get watered down.

I see some value to the idea. Zulu made a good point with the 3 on 3 talk.

The other thing that I like about the 3-on-3 tournament, is that it's pretty common to see that here, but not elsewhere. I'd love to see the US push the idea of 3-on-3 and 4-on-4 as legitimate competition. Watching the last summer Olympics, I wondered why someone doesn't push 3-on-3 as an Olympic sport. Basketball is one of the huge draws, but it only gets one tournament and one medal. If the NBA used the 3-on-3, 4-on-4, 5-on-5 tourney format that I suggested, I bet it would make the concept more popular outside of the US as well.
