The math works out to a total of 158 shots per game or a potential 79 shots per team, per game. Considering most shots are taken before the shot clock expires, teams will average closer to 95 shot attempts per game. Music: Bensound.com - FunnySong Tshirts www.nobackboard.com

In developing basketball-the-remix, I attempted to remove all barriers that prevent consistent and sustained gameplay with the minimal unnecessary stoppage. The innovation of “roaming” makes the placement of the ball, not the player the determination of a dead or live ball. Music: Bensound.com / FunnySong Tshirts www.nobackboard.com

When I was a teenager, my friends and I would go up to the local elementary school and play dunk-ball. The court was a smaller court with shorter baskets. The games were competitive, intense, and fun. Because the games were played on a much smaller court we never played 5 on 5.

The fact that basketball-the-remix is played without timeouts and is played at a faster pace than traditional basketball created a problem that required another innovation to solve. How to substitute players when they get tired and you cannot wait for the next dead ball? To address this issue I created the “running substitution” and the “running substitution box” T-shirts www.nobackboard.com Music: Bensound.com - FunnySong

One of Dr. James Naismith's philosophies is, “the game is to be played, not coached.” To achieve this basketball-the-remix has reached back to one of the basketball's original concepts. No timeouts. No backboard t-shirts www.nobackboard.com

The purpose of the 3 point key and goal blocking is to drive aggressive offensive and defensive effort near and at the rim. T-Shirts www.nobackboard.com

Basketball-the-remix creates a unique synergy between a basket with no backboard, a smaller hoop, and the three-point key. The combination of these three innovations brings a balance back to the game … the fragile balance between finesse and power, the balance between speed and strength, and the balance between athleticism and skill.

The 3 point key is wider and shorter than the key in traditional basketball creating 320 square feet of battleground space under and around the hoop. Tshirts : https://nobackboard.myshopify.com/ www.nobackboard.com Music: Bensound - FunnySong

With such an evolution in shooting skills, reducing the size of the rim in basketball-the-remix keeps shooting percentages at a level where the mid-range game can still exist and be appreciated. https://nobackboard.myshopify.com/ www.nobackboard.com

Basketball-the-remix takes the best concepts of the original game, takes the best concepts from basketball's evolution over the past 129 years, and takes the core concepts on how the game of basketball should be played espoused by Dr. James Naismith himself … mixes them all together to produce a new, unique game of basketball … the modern interpretation of the original game of basketball. www.nobackboard.com Check out Cool "no backboard t-shirts here" Music: Bensound.com - Funnysong

NBA Reporter David Aldridge is quoted saying, "The Basketball Tournament ( #tbt ) is a worthy successor to the spirit of the Rucker ... " I agree with David Aldrige. And prior to the first Rucker Park Pro-Am leagues in the 1950s this “spirit” was operating through the World Professional Basketball Tournament.

The emergence of the #TBT (The Basketball Tournament) represented the end of the summer streetball tour era that #AND1 birth.

Because I removed the backboard with basketball-the-remix, I added value to lay-ups by introducing the concept of a 3 point key. In basketball-the-remix, any basket scored within the 3 point key is worth 3 points.

Besides lay-ups, the backboard is an afterthought in today's offensive approach. And if its an afterthought, what's its value of the backboard in today's game?

It appears the NBA has the benefit of owners who have built technology wealth. This technology wealth is finally coming to bear as the next innovations in fan experience come to market.

In many ways, the backboard is a silent sixth man. A sixth player on both offense and defense that stands quietly still, almost in the shadows.
