- Make it Team USA vs. Team World.
- Rotate the host city between the USA and other parts of the World such as Paris and London.
He believes that will change the game’s intensity and make players care.
After pitching his idea, Antetokounmpo said, "I would love that. I think that would be the most interesting, exciting format. That would give me extra juice to compete."
I'm not sure that would really shake things up to the level Giannis expects. It will always be difficult to convince players to go all-out in a midseason exhibition. They'll continue to protect themselves against injury no matter what the format is.
