NBA Outdoor Games
They had some games outside in the summer league a few years back. It was really cool! It gave a more pickup game feel to it, I liked it. The sun and wind can be an issue but its one game, I think it would be great for fans and a great overall event.
The issue with the outdoor games is that the venues would be limited. They could only do it in high-climate cities where there's rarely any rain, sleet, snow, winds, etc. The weather does effect the game, hence the reason professional basketball is indoors.
the venues wouldn't be that limited because you can do it in the baseball and football fields. And yeah wind can effect the game but think about the scene in white man can't jump where woody tells Wesley the winds picking up a bit. Just shoot it to the left a little.
I remember the Warriors and Suns played outdoors in a preseason game about 3-4 years ago, it was crazy, too much wind, 30% shooting......but it was pretty cool, lol. I wouldn't mind one game a year, but I'm pretty sure the players would be pissed.
I think it would be really cool to see a couple games be played outdoors every year. Even just one game a year would be great, like the Winter Classic. I understand weather could be an issue though it would just be cool to see.
