Knockout is possibly the most enjoyable, and certainly the most popular basketball game in this country that is not 1-on-1 or 5-on-5. It combines the difficulties of pressure free throw shooting, quick layups, and pressuring the person in front of you. This is why it needs to be added to the NBA All Star festivities. Imagine Lebron standing right behind Dwayne Wade, psyching him out as Wade attempts a free throw- then if both all-stars miss, the rush to see who can dunk the ball first.
Also, if they play G-E-I-C-O, you need to at least give Knockout a chance. You can even call it the State Farm Knockout game presented by All State.
