While Adam Silver announced that there would be no short-term changes to the championship, whether in the length of the regular season or the playoff formula, Daryl Morey is among those who want the NBA is inspired by the NFL and the NCAA, even European football championships.
In an interview with Colin Cowherd on Volume Sports, the president of the Sixers is in favor of a mini-revolution. As proof, when asked if he wants to take a few games off and return to the best-of-five playoffs, here is his reaction.
“You are too shy, and we can go further” responds Daryl Morey. “I like the idea of having 58 matches. Each team faces its opponents twice. For the playoffs, I 100% agree that the shorter the better. “
And when he says “short”, it’s even very short since Daryl Morey would like us to be inspired by the NCAA and the NFL with a real tournament and matches that are played over one match!
“I would like “one-and-done”. There’s a reason every NFL game gets huge ratings. It is literally “one-and-done”. In 63 games, the NCAA Tournament brings in more money than our entire regular season! “
For Daryl Morey, the goal is clear: to make the NBA more popular than the Super Bowl. ” For a little while, nothing will do better than the Super Bowl, but I think in my lifetime the NBA can overtake the NFL if its most important game really does become something important. “
