I think my favorites are Phoenix, Toronto, and Golden State.

Boston's parquet is hideous. Tradition, sure--but hideous.

I've hated that floor since I was a teenager.

And beyond hating that type of floor, I've never really given floors all that much thought.

Right. Because Kobe Bryant is the first player in the entire history of the Lakers organization was any good.

I'm not sure how I feel about the LA lighting. I'd love to see it in person.
The raised floor is definitely badass though.

How about love for the Pistons? When talking about traditions, it's right up there. And you have all the retired numbers painted along the sidelines. I wouldn't be surprised to see more teams do that.

Dude, I'm pretty sure Colonel Sanders was joking.

And it would be funny for you too if you'd let it.

I dunno... Unless he is gimmick account because I've seen around saying some pretty absurd things.

The best looking courts to me are the ones I don't even notice. If a court screams out "Look at me" I don't like it. The more simple it is the better.

I recall back around the mid 90's a lot of the courts looked like video games with all the wild designs on them. Many of those were just hideous.

I have old, parquet flooring in my apartment. Before, Boston's floor didn't affect me in the least. Now, it conjures up images of trying to clean gunk lodged between the cracks.

Oh, the humanatee.

On league pass I would unconsciously skip Rockets and Celtics games just because I hate how their floor looks. I really like Phoenix's, Toronto's, and Detroit's.

I think Charlotte's court is hideous, much like their uniforms.

Wouldn't it be easier to get a direct flight to LA?

I can live with Boston's flooring because it's Boston. I like it there but would hate it anywhere else.

I like the Pistons court and dislike the Sixers court, for one. Also, why is the purple for LA a different colour than the purple on the jerseys? It's a nice royal purple on the jerseys but I swear that court is lavender.

I really like the 6ers, wolves and blazers court

dunno which one I dislike... but I guess there are a few

historywise I like the old charlotte one and the rockets one with these rockets on the sideline(?). didn't the hawks use to have a court with a big portion of red in there?

I don't generally give a rat's about something this small, but the Raptors court in their first year or so was funny it had so many things goin on. There were 5 different logos on it, dino tracks across it, some weird herringbone wood design, etc. And the PA guy was obnoxious. I guess they were lookin to attract the kiddies to bug their parents into buying tix to see Oliver Miller.

No kidding. :lol: It's about a 4-5 hour drive from Vegas to LA. Sometimes it can get as bad as 6 or 7 hrs if it's a holiday or something big going on in Vegas.
