On the next season of The Bachelor, 30 NBA teams will compete for LeBron James’ heart. How will the Philadelphia 76ers fair on their journey for a true superstar?

The Bachelor is the greatest show on television. This is simply a fact. Nothing else on television manages to be so horrible yet so entertaining.

This season’s finale made headlines when Arie, the bachelor, chose Becca, changed his mind, called in the producers to film the breakup, and then professed his love to Lauren instead. Every year, ABC touts the finale as the most dramatic ending ever. This year, it actually was.

Other than fantastic, hilarious drama, the series has also seen its share of basketball moments. Like this one, where Corinne uses Michael Jordan as a defense for taking a nap.

Or this one, where the bachelorette Rachel Lindsay shows off her broken jumper before having the guys go through drills.

With thrilling endings and social media drama, the NBA often seems like a reality show. And this summer, as every team battles to sign LeBron James, the league will truly start to feel like a season of The Bachelor.

But how would it play out if every NBA team actually lived in one house together and competed to sign LeBron James? Probably something like this.
