There’s a recurring gimmick on many reality television shows that features contestants paired off, with one partner blindfolded and tasked with navigating an obstacle course while the other, not blindfolded, calls out directions.
It’s a fun thought experiment to imagine NBA head coaches engaged in this exercise with their best players. In some ways, that’s the entire NBA season: a coach standing on the sidelines, calling out plays, and adjusting lineups based on the players’ performances. Steph Curry and Steve Kerr would likely slice through the course with ease. Latrell Sprewell and PJ Carlesimo, maybe not.
