(mavs, cavs, okc, grizzlies) If memory serves me ... the Grizzlies wanted to do a court like this a few years ago(?) because of the "Grit and Grind" mentality of the team, but the NBA denied the request. Of course this was all before the NBA Cup and alternate courts were a thing. 1 Quote "I always wanted to be somebody, but now I realize I should have been more specific."

truepg Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 Don't really think I need a wooden court to mimic concrete... Gray courts don't look exciting at all on screen anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old School Fool Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 I was wondering why the Nets didn't do a concrete court look. The herringbone is cool but a street ball theme would be much better suited for Brooklyn, they are the only team aside from the Knicks that can get away with this idea. The Grizzlies doing it is just weird, I don't associate Memphis with street ball, I associate it with Three 6 Mafia, Elvis, and MLK. Also, I am very aware how weird it is I have mentioned those three things like that. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Digby Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 Also, no team needs a court that looks like a concrete court. A gray-washed shade of wood is plenty of effect but we couldn't be content stopping there. The Nike City design movement is just non-stop simulacra, we can't let anything represent a team or city in an abstract way or build a connection, it's always something painfully literal that lacks any tact whatsoever. But I guess that's just the cultural moment in general. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pepis21 Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 If Grizzlies wanted to imitate a concrete court they should make it form a real concrete. It would be innovative to NBA standards. Of course few knees would blow up in a game process, but it would give a real atmosphere of street courts. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pepis21 Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 I guess I'm the only one who watch Celebrity ASG since no one talking about LED Court yet. I'd say that for a fun games like CASG when you changing rules on the fly it is a neat idea. Of course there was a problem with players glowing thanks to LED light, but it might be fixed with arena light (game was pretty dark). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shorts were from this season. That jersey had #5 and Money Merrill on back, but compare to the 21/22 jersey name was place below numbers not above. In opposite Young had nob above numbers not below like usually. Also Jacquez Jr. in his jersey had modified wordmark which says El Heat Cultura (with red U).

truepg Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 Of all the things the NBA has introduced, the LED court was actually refreshingly fitting and an appropriate addition for the All-Star competitions. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
