    I'm not gonna lie, the warriors do have a nice court design.

    I think the Raptors got a nice upgrade. Much better than the poo they had before.

    I also like the Hawks going with their updated retro logo at half court and red lanes. It's an upgrade.

    We do have one of the most boring courts. I like this:

    There is no date when talking about court design is worthwhile or interesting.

    The Raptors and Warriors have the nicest courts in my opinion, and the Bulls have one of the ugliest. That giant basketball, and the four smaller logos are just hideous.

    They are mostly similar looking courts. I like the Hornets one the best, followed by Brooklyn.

    The Celtic's court is still as beautiful as ever.

    Too much bulls in the Bulls' court.

    NY's colors are pretty clean.

    I also like the honeycomb design for the beehive.

    Our unis and court...ugh.

    I love theirs. And Lowe is right -- it looks superb on TV.

    Solid! If you can, try darker wood for the whole floor, black lines inside the 3pt line, the 3pt line white. No more lighter parts on the floor and also try to put some clutch city reference instead of the big houston rockets in the corners just inside the 3pt line.

    Honestly, I actually like the Rockets court design. When it comes to the court, I am a big fan of 'less is more'. Our court is simple and not distracting, and I like that. Especially when you compare it to that other court that Zach Lowe mentioned in this article....

    Now, if only we could do something to change that big goofy-looking R logo that we have in the middle of the court.

    Exactly, just read a couple of his articles and their all trash and subject to his opinion. His opinion means nothing.
