Your ideas on how the game would be played and how the rules should be changed to adapt to the increased gravity.
I would lower the rim to make it possible to slam and dunk the same way as on Earth.
I think Spartans would be the Dream Team of perfectly trained individuals, the Hive would have the best teamwork and after the finals, in which the hive loses to spartans 50:45 (higher gravity, harder to score), morgan would buy them all

Yup, and PKs as referees... but I won't volunteer for a game between the spartans and the hive!

Here is a suggestion to Firaxis - make a supplementary add-on to SMAC - the SMACBasket. Could be for a price. Probably won't sell well, but it could complement the AI and political and diplomacy modules in a way that when you win a championship, everyone starts liking you less, but your faction gets a morale boost. Or something like that.
