In spite of the ongoing discussions regarding a shorter season, NBA legend Darryl Dawkins wanted the league to stick to its current 82-game regular season format.
Speaking to the Filipino media at the NBA Cafe in Taguig City, the former Philadelphia 76ers star said, "Keep the season as is."
Dawkins reasoned that a longer season will mean more money for the players and that it will keep the season interesting as the teams will have a chance to get back at their tormenters.
Dallas Maverick Dirk Nowitzki and Cleveland Cavalier LeBronn James are among the superstars who are vocal in calling for a reduction of the number of games in an NBA season.
The debates came at the heels of an experimental 44-minute exhibition between the Boston Celtics and the Brooklyn Nets on Monday.
