I think given the way the game is played, there should only be two players per team on the court. I think having an extra three men doesn't really work. As we're seeing today, the sport has gotten tremendously selfish, and it always seems every team has one or two players who are good while the rest are irrelevant.
Would switching to 2-on-2 vastly improve the flow of the game, and eliminate the fluff? Imagine Dwyane Wade and Shaq against Kobe and Lamar Odom, or Dirk and Jason Terry versus Steve Nash and Amare? You have marquee line-ups and a faster-paced game because when one player stops dribbling, he either has to shoot or find a way to pass to his only other player.
What I'm saying is, that in other sports, every player serves a function somehow. In basketball, that is not so. In sports like soccer and hockey, any player can pick up the ball or puck without needing a pass. Baseball and football have players who fit roles. Understand?
