Overview:

Back of Box

Roundball and the stuff of dreams.

1. Take the two best players in basketball today. Interview them. Photograph them in action. Study their moves. Study their stats. Study their styles.

2. Then, with their help, bit by bit craft a scenario on computer disc. Create in the machine an event which may never happen in real life. Put the two together on a dream court for an electronic afternoon of one-on-one.

3. Make it real, sure- with fatigue factors, hot and cold streaks, fouls, a shot clock. But maybe throw in a little whimsy too- a funny referee, a shattering backboard, even instant replay.

4. The name of the game is One-on-One. You're Bird, or you're The Doctor. And that's the last decision you'll have plenty of time to make.
