You know what basketball fans want? Less basketball.

Yes, that's apparently the idea being floated by NBA Commissioner Adam Silver, who may or may not be an alien.

Watch:

The NBA is the only league that plays 48 minutes. And I am a fan of four 10-minute quarters … I think that a 2-hour format for a game is more consistent to sort of modern television habits.

Nobody wants less basketball, but here's the commissioner of the NBA floating … less basketball.

I'm sorry, but get this bro outta here!
