The NBA offseason is upon us. And while the NBA draft and NBA free agency are fun, there is still an objective lack of NBA basketball being played.

This basketball-less period gives NBA fans an opportunity for enlightening and productive basketball conversation on the internet to fill time, and oh man, has one Reddit user come storming strong out of the gates.

In a post that has since gone viral, one Reddit user proposed a brilliant strategy for the Golden State Warriors. Danmaker99 asked:

Serious question: why can’t 4 Warriors starters lock arms and form a ring around Steph Curry, so he can take open shots?

The post continued, only getting better:

Picture this: the Warriors go out and get 4 incredibly strong bodies with really long arms. For the entire game, on the offensive end, those 4 guys lock arms together and form a circle around Steph Curry so that none of the opponents can get to him – sort of like how you might protect a quarterback if you didn’t know the rules of football. Steph Curry barely needs much daylight to shoot, so as long as they leave around a foot of room around him, he can probably just bomb away freely every possession. Why don’t the Warriors do this? Is Steve Kerr an idiot?

Hey, it might work.

The four Warriors players would have to get to their spots quickly and establish the ring around Curry to avoid an illegal screen, but there doesn’t appear to be an actual NBA rule against forming a boundary around a player.

At the very least, the Warriors could probably pull off having four players stand in a line in front of Curry. They’d have to rely on a team not picking Curry up defensively once he crosses midcourt, which doesn’t happen too often. The space Curry got at the 2:03 mark would have been an ideal time for this play, though.

It would be the basketball version of the “Flying V” from The Mighty Ducks, which despite being a worthless play in hockey, could actually work in basketball. After all, there’s no offsides in basketball.

Steve Kerr needs to make this play happen next season, or he’ll continue to feel the wrath of being called an idiot on Reddit.
