Earlier this week, the NBA announced the decision to change the format of the 2018 All-Star Game in Los Angeles by allowing two captains from the voted-in players to select the rosters.
All of this chatter has seemingly got New York Knicks big man Enes Kanter thinking about a possible scenario that he believes should happen, according to Ian Begley of ESPN.
Funny line/suggestion from Enes Kanter on the new All Star format: "One team all-hoodies versus one team that believes the earth is flat."

Clearly, this won't play out but, it's a playful response to the new All-Star Game alteration. This is underlining the excitement about how it can impact the game while potentially increasing the amount of attention it will garner.
This adds a new element where the players will have full control on what the rosters will look like that could create some highly intriguing pairings. It may also bring together players on the same team that had only previously happened during an offseason pickup game or on the Team USA roster.
There are many possibilities that could play out that may make this is a long-term fix to help re-gather the buzz and excitement toward the All-Star Game. It could also open the door to several other changes being considered by the league such as mixing up the playoff seeding format. The NBA could be on the doorstep of many other major changes being put forth.
