Anonymous Mavs Owner: All Star Weekend Should Host Gladiator Battle to the Death

“I’ve always been a big idea guy,” the Dallas-based owner told the Closeout on Wednesday. “I’ve got millions invested in hundreds of businesses. I was a big proponent of the Bubble. We need to make big ideas happen in this league. For hundreds of years, the biggest events in the world were gladiator battles. What better stage to do it than with the level of athletes in the NBA now?”

He went on to list who he’d take in a fantasy draft of NBA gladiators. Number 1: Semi Ojeleye.

The All Star Game will be hosted on Sunday. As of now, it will have the normal events of a dunk contest, all star game, 3 pt contest, and skills challenge. No rising stars game will be played. Will we see a gladiator battle in the future? Only time will tell.
