Hey HBO, are you listening?



Here's what I want: an HBO original series about sports. Specifically about a fictional NBA team. I'm thinking the San Diego Conquistadors, and here's why. It's the 10th largest city in the US, they don't have a current team and the Conquistadors were a real ABA team '73-'76.

Basically the premise is that when the ABA was dissolved, the Q's [San Diego's nickname among fans] were absorbed into the NBA and have been a regular team ever since. The shows follows four or five different characters in the daily life of the team and how they interact with each other and the rest of the organization. The veteran star player [a center, obviously], the rookie, the team trainer, the assistant coach and the idiot son of the billionaire owner.

It would be slightly in the style of Entourage, existing in a world where everything is the same as in real life, except this one basketball team. It would be hour long, serio-comic and single camera. I think it would be one the best shows ever. HBO, come on, help me out here. Send me an email, ok?
