Under traditional FIBA rules games would be closer obviously.
In the future when covid f*cks off and Asia has a true Champions league it'd be good to bring back something like the McDonalds Open or whatever it was called.
BAL Champ
NBA Champ
Euro Champ
Asian Champ
NBL Champ
Sth American Champ
Or take the Euro and NBA Champs as automatic qualifiers and have a playoff between NBL & Asian Champ and Sth American/BAL Champ.
To dream even bigger (and bring back the concord) there could be 16 teams. top 8 NBA and 8 from rest of the world (4 Euro and 1 each from other leagues). Dunno how keen the NBA is in all this however and how writing a McDonalds cup clause into an NBA contract once the season is done.
