Have to admit... I kinda hate that court. It's so hard on the eyes. I like the gradient idea and the honey comb could work sparingly, but not all together WITH the basketball.


It's so bad that it's good to me. That is a pure 90s court.

holy sh*t. I've never seen that court. I've seen the old court with the colored paint but not the paint like that.

THAT IS ILL! Yes please bring that back MJ.

I love the colored courts was more than that ugly 2-3 tone wood courts everyone does now a days.


Agreed wish more teams would use courts with color outside of paint/inside of 3pt line like this.

It gets boring seeing teams have courts in this style

Gonna be a little bit interesting in a few years, who do the old guys like Mugsy associate with as their franchise? Pretty sure their stats/numbers went with the Pelicans franchise, but now the name, colors, location, everything from their own playing days are right back in Charlotte, while the Pelicans are in a new city, new name, new colors, and seemingly distant as can be.

Bogues already associates himself with Charlotte, period. He even worked as a radio broadcaster (he still might) for the Bobcats. Larry Johnson is more of a New York guy, and Alonzo of course is a Miami guy. Dell Curry is a broadcaster for the Bobcats as well.

Psssh. This was the best court of the 90s. Although It would be perfect without the honeycomb in the paint, in my opinion.

As far as I can tell, the refs can't really see that little semi-circle anyway. :wink:

Basically the "Grape" color-way for Jordans/ the old Hornet colors... love it.
