Worth noting that the Knicks facility is in Tarrytown in Westchester county, which is about an hour's drive from lower Manhattan. Doesn't matter how nice the facility is, that's apparently quite the rude awakening for players who are drafted by or are traded to the Knicks and expect their life to be lived entirely in Brooklyn and Manhattan.

Looked it up and that Suns facility shows at a cost $45 mil, which seems pretty modest. Certainly not amongst the best at that cost. Even the clippers spent more than that back in 2008 on their facility.

The 6ers spent 80+ in 2015 according to a quick Google. Knew it was a lot

I doubt you've seen the Magic's new practice facility so try again with your pick.

Houston's facility is so bad it doesn't even have backboards.

Warriors have got to have the best, no? Didn’t Lacob pump like $400 million into that new stadium? It’s gotta be pretty sweet.

The Suns one is actually insane, all the tech and attention to detail - very impressive. Here's a a tour if anyone is interested.

Chicago had the same problem so a few years back they built a training facility right next to the United Center.
