    Jeanie Buss revamps the All-Star Game
    February, 22, 2010

    For a variety of reasons, not the least of which are the explosion of the Internet and the NBA League Pass, I think the All-Star Game has lost much of its luster. Count me among those believing the whole weekend could use a shake-up. Along those lines, Lakers Executive VP of Business Operations Jeanie Buss has a killer idea to breathe new life into the All Star format.

    Speaking to Fanhouse.com, she lays out her plan:

    "I would do something really crazy with the All Star Game. This is something I've thought about a lot. I would like to see the fans vote for all the All Stars. Then you put them in a pool, and you take the two coaches and they draft the team right there, kind of like you used to do on a schoolyard. It wouldn't have anything to do with (Eastern Conference vs. Western Conference), it would just be all All-Stars, and then the coaches would decide which players they would take. Someone said (to me), "Well, whoever got taken last would be embarrassed." I thought, "OK, that's a good thing, because everybody's going to want to try and play hard."

    One idea I liked from Bill Simmons was the one-on-one or 2-on-2 round robin tournament like NBA Jam.

    Her Playboy pics are easy to find online. She needs to learn what a razor is for. So for now, I'll just call her Jeannie Bush. Jeannie Bald would be much more pleasing.

    Is there a Jeanie Buss troll on this site? how about a Jerry Buss troll? Or a David Stern troll?

    Those would be fun to see.
