Would You Watch A Senior Circuit?

The NBA needs a senior circuit. Michael Jordan can still play a little; we know Charles Barkley can run, if nothing else. And all those retirees who wanted to come back this season -- Reggie Miller? Allan Houston? Charles Oakley? Gary Payton? Heck, maybe just put them all on one team and stick them in the NBDL, but let the seniors play all their games at home in Malibu. I think Shaquille O'Neal would retire immediately to join them. There's no way this could go wrong.

Not sure about an old-timers league, but what about a Legends vs. Rookies game at the All-Star Game?

Re: Would You Watch A Senior Circuit?

The fascination with it would be short lived at best. It works in golf because golf isn't as physical as some other sports.

"Old timers" basketball league? Sorry, I'd like to remember Jordan and Barkley for dominating the court.

Not lagging up the court and huffing and puffing.

I think it would work, but these boys are used to big pay...and there would be no money and a few hurt egos out there...I mean, baseball tried it and it did not work...

Also, it would have to be a scaled back schedule...maybe 20-30 games...the winner can play the winner of the WNBA...

I would call it a racial statement if it wasn't so true... ...lol...yes, they would kill them until the 4th quarter where half the team would be carried off the court with an injury...
